§ 17-2.10. Procedures for Inspections and Issuance of Certificates of Rental Housing
Compliance

a. Inspection. The Township shall conduct annual inspections of all Rental Facilities within the
Township of Edison (the “Rental Housing Compliance Inspection”). Subsequent to the initial
inspection, individual rental unit inspections shall be conducted on a recurring basis as follows:
(i) rental units which are part of any building, structure and land appurtenant thereto consisting
of five (5) units or more, shall be eligible for random inspection every three (3) years from the
initial inspection, and at such other times as may be required by State law.
1.

Each year, inspections of Rental Facilities and the buildings, structures and lands
appurtenant thereto containing five (5) or more rental units shall be inspected as follows:
(1) the Township Inspector shall select a ten (10%) percent sampling at random
(minimum of one (1) Rental Unit per Rental Facility) of units to be inspected; (2) if five
(5%) percent or more of the inspected units reveal Major Violations as defined below,
Edison Township shall provide the owner with a notice of the Major Violation(s), and if
the owner fails to cure the Major Violation(s) within thirty (30) days, then all units in
the entire Rental Building in which the Rental Unit(s) having Major Violations is located
may be inspected. If less than five (5%) of the inspected units reveal major violations,
no further Rental Housing Compliance Inspections shall be conducted until the next
inspection cycle, unless required to obtain a Certificate of Continuing Occupancy for a
new tenant or the Township receives information from the current occupant that
conditions have deteriorated and necessitate a new inspection. An inspection for a
Certificate of Continuing Occupancy for individual Rental Units pursuant to Section 141.6k shall constitute an appropriate inspection to satisfy the 10 percent minimum within
this section for Rental Facilities and may trigger additional inspections if major
violations are uncovered during the inspection. When 10 percent of Rental Units in a
Rental Facility are inspected in a given registration period as a result of either the random
inspection process or as a result of the Certificate of Continuing Occupancy process,
there shall be no further random inspections in that period.

2.

Major Violations for the purpose of this section shall mean the existence of one (1) or
more of the following conditions at the building or structure:
i. Roof/chimney in substantial disrepair;
ii. Any sink in non-working order;
iii. Any bathtub in non-working order;

Error! Unknown document property name.

iv. Any sink, lavatory, bathtub or shower not connected to hot and cold water;
v. Any insect or rodent infestation (an “infestation” shall be defined as evidence
of a significant presence of pests within or on the perimeter of the building);
vi. Overcrowding;
vii. Existence of illegal habitable area; and
viii. A finding of five (5) or more minor violations within an individual unit during
one inspection, or if the same minor violation is found in one-third (1/3) of the
inspected units of a Rental Facility.

3.

Minor Violations: Any other violations not specifically enumerated as a Major Violation
and that do not pose an immediate threat to the health and safety of the tenant shall
be deemed to be minor violations.
