[Adopted 5-15-2002 by Ord. No. 11/02]
Any tenant who receives a notice of eviction pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61-2
that results from zoning or code enforcement activity for an illegal occupancy
which the landlord must correct, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(g), as a
result of being cited by local or state housing inspectors or zoning officers,
and it is infeasible to correct such illegal occupancy without removing the
tenant, shall be considered a displaced person and shall be entitled to relocation
assistance in an amount equal to six times the monthly rent paid by the displaced
person. The owner-landlord of this structure shall be liable for the payment
of relocation assistance pursuant to this section.
The Town of West New York may pay relocation assistance from the Town's
Relocation Assistance Fund to any displaced person who has not received the
required payment from the owner-landlord of the structure at the time of eviction.
All relocation assistance cost incurred by a municipality pursuant to
this article shall be repaid by the owner-landlord of the structure to the
municipality in the same manner as relocation costs are billed pursuant to
N.J.S.A. 20:4-4.1 and 4.2.
All repayments shall be deposited into the Town's Relocation Assistance
Fund.
The Town of West New York may, after a hearing, impose upon the owner-landlord,
for a second or subsequent violation for an illegal occupancy, a fine equal
to the annual tuition cost of any resident of the illegally occupied unit
attending a public school, which fine shall be recovered in a civil action
by a summary proceeding in the name of the Town of West New York, pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 2A:58-10 et seq.
The Municipal Court and the Superior Court shall have jurisdiction of
proceedings for the enforcement of the penalty provided by this article, pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(g).
