Before any R-3 or R-4 residential unit is sold, leased or otherwise
subject to change of occupancy for residential purposes, the owner
shall obtain a certificate of smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm
compliance (CSDCMAC) evidencing compliance with N.J.A.C. 5:18-4.19
from the Bureau of Fire Prevention.
The owner or the authorized agent of the owner shall apply for
a CSDCMAC on a form provided by the Bureau of Fire Prevention. The
application shall be accompanied by a fee, which is outlined below,
made payable to the Township of Pennsauken, in accordance with N.J.A.C.
5:18-2.8.
A. Requests for CSDCMAC received more than 10 days prior to the inspection
date: $50.
B. Requests for CSDCMAC received four to 10 days prior to the inspection
date: $85.
C. Requests for CSDCMAC received less than four days prior to the inspection
date: $140.
D. A reinspection fee of $50 shall be charged for any noncompliance
on the first inspection.
A CSDC shall not be transferable. If the change of occupancy
specified in the application for a CSDC does not occur within six
months, a new application shall be required.
No CSDCMAC shall be issued until inspection of the structure
indicates compliance with N.J.A.C. 5:70-4.9.
Smoke detectors required to be installed in accordance with
N.J.A.C. 5:70-4.19 must be installed prior to the scheduled inspection.
A fee of $50 made payable to the Township of Pennsauken will be charged
and must be paid prior to any required reinspection which was required
due to the property owner's and/or agent's lack of compliance with
the requirements of this article.
