New Jersey S2340 allows municipalities to impose fines for housing or zoning code violations each day the violation continues.
New Jersey S2340 amends existing law to allow municipalities to impose fines for housing or zoning code violations each day the violation continues until the owner cures or abates the condition. The bill also validates prior fines imposed under this provision and provides for additional fines for repeat offenders within a year of a previous violation. The fines can include imprisonment, community service, or monetary penalties, with specific limits set by the municipality. This act takes effect immediately and is retroactive to the effective date of the amended law.
