Section 5:27-1.2 - Purpose

(a) This chapter is promulgated for the purpose of establishing standards to ensure that every rooming and boarding house in the State of New Jersey is constructed, maintained and operated in such a manner as will protect the health, safety and welfare of its residents and at the same time preserve and promote a home-like atmosphere appropriate to such facilities.

(b) The Bureau shall have discretion not to enforce any standard hereby established if it determines that strict compliance with such standard is not necessary in a particular case in order to accomplish the purpose set forth in (a) above.

(c) In the event that the Bureau determines that any rooming or boarding house, or any part thereof, because of its partial use for other than single room occupancy should more appropriately be evaluated under applicable standards contained in the regulations for the Maintenance of Hotels and Multiple Dwellings (N.J.A.C. 5:10), the Bureau shall have discretion to enforce the standards contained in N.J.A.C. 5:10 in lieu of the standards contained in N.J.A.C. 5:27-4, 5, and 6.
