The Township of East Brunswick is regulated by the State Uniform Constructions Code. We have enacted, through local ordinance, those portions which specifically provide for a local inspection program. All new construction is inspected in accordance with the adopted standards prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. The Township has elected not to implement the permissive portion of the State Code which would require reinspection before resale or refinancing of single, townhouse or condominium residential dwelling units.
Once a residential property receives the initial Certificate of Occupancy, the property is not subject to reinspection or recertification unless improvements or changes are made to the building. At that time, only those improvements are subject to inspection.
Units built under the Township's Affordable Housing Program receive a Certificate of Compliance. The purpose of this recertification is to ensure continued compliance with the Uniform Construction Code standards.
A Certificate of Continuing Occupancy is required for every non-residential property whenever a change in occupancy occurs; which involves reinspection of all areas of life safety. Construction permits must be obtained for all proposed modifications.
This is a general clarification of UCC inspections requirements in East Brunswick. If you have any questions please feel free to contact this office at 732.390.6875
