Chamber Passed·12/22/25

New Jersey A3555 mandates pest inspections before certain demolitions to prevent infestations in nearby buildings.

New Jersey A3555 requires inspections for pest infestations before certain demolitions to prevent pests from migrating to adjacent buildings. A certified health officer or commercial pesticide applicator must inspect buildings for pests like mice, rats, and roaches. If pests are found, extermination must occur before a certification is issued. The construction permit applicant covers the cost of inspection and extermination. The bill defines "severe pest presence" as a level of pests that risks infestation in nearby buildings.
