New Jersey S386 requires fire barriers in common attic areas of certain residential buildings.

New Jersey S386 mandates that qualified residential buildings, defined as structures with three or more stories and two or more dwelling units, must install fire barriers in common attic areas. These barriers must have a fire-resistance rating of at least three hours. The bill integrates this requirement into the "Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law," ensuring that such buildings undergo inspections to verify compliance. This measure aims to slow the spread of fires, providing more time for safe evacuation and reducing property damage.
