New Jersey S3174 allows property owners to contract with private inspection agencies for construction code inspections and sets rules for inspection.
New Jersey S3174 modifies the "State Uniform Construction Code Act" to allow property owners, agents, or responsible persons to independently choose to contract with authorized private on-site inspection agencies for any reason. The bill also provides for charging separate inspection fees. It removes the previous requirement that allowed such choices only when a local enforcing agency demonstrated a repeated inability to conduct timely inspections. The bill sets standards for establishing inspection fees and requires municipalities to set fees for various construction-related permits.
