[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the Borough
of Mount Ephraim as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
[Adopted 12-1-2005 by Ord. No. 753 (Ch. 59A of the 1973 Borough Code)]
Every hotel and motel in the Borough of Mount Ephraim shall
be required to do the following:
A.
Maintain at all times a registry identifying the name of each occupant
of each rooming unit, together with the principal residence address
of each such occupant and the date upon which his occupancy of such
rooming unit commenced, which registry shall be signed by the person
renting the room. Such registry shall be a valid driver's license
and/or picture ID, which must be kept on file and subject to review
by the Code Enforcement Officer of the Borough of Mount Ephraim upon
inspection.
B.
Post in a conspicuous place or manner in each rooming unit a statement
of the range of rates charged by the hotel or motel, including seasonal
rates, and a legible printed copy.
[Amended 5-2-2019 by Ord. No. 2019-05]
A.
In accordance
with the definition provided in "The Latest Illustrated Book of Development
Definitions": A transient visitor's stay for hotels/motels is 1.5
days; the extended-stay facility is for five or more days, averaging
seven to 10 days.
B.
With the
exception of the owner and any staff, who are permitted to reside
at the premises, no transient visitor can occupy a hotel, motel or
multiple-dwelling establishment for more than 30 days, nor can said
transient visitor extend this time period by moving into another unit
within the same establishment.
No hotel or motel owner can take it upon himself to extend the
stay of any visitor due to the R1 classification which states the
occupants are primarily transient (less than 30 days), which is the
code they were built by, according to the International Building Code
of the State of New Jersey 310.1; such change in classification would
need to meet the building requirements for an R2 occupancy under said
code.[1]
[Adopted 5-2-2019 by Ord. No. 2019-05]
This chapter shall be enforced by the Police Department of the
Borough of Mount Ephraim.
Any owner of any hotel or motel found to be in violation of any provision of this chapter will be subject to the issuance of violations, fines and court appearances, when necessary, as set forth in Chapter 305, Penalties.
