[Amended 12-21-82 by Ord. No. 52-82]
Single-station units shall be installed and maintained in rented
residential dwellings, whether owner-occupied or not, in one- to three-family
dwellings. Said buildings shall be required to have a minimum of one
(1) approved single-station smoke detector located in close proximity
to each sleeping area. Smoke detectors shall be located so that a
maximum distance from the detector to any sleeping area exit door
shall not exceed ten (10) feet. The basement or cellar directly connected
to a dwelling unit, as said unit is defined in the R-3 designation
in the Uniform Construction Code of the State of New Jersey, in which
a basement or cellar is used by occupants of that dwelling shall have
a minimum of one (1) approved smoke detector located in the highest
ceiling in the area or at the ceiling of the first-floor stair landing
or other approved location where the earliest detection of fire would
activate the alarm. The owner or his representative, the tenant, boarder
or occupant shall be required to comply with regulations of the Department
of Community Affairs, Division of Housing, which are incorporated
herein for the purpose of the installation, inspection, maintenance,
tagging, testing and monitoring all smoke detector unit(s). This requirement
will also include all interior stairways not enclosed by a minimum
one-hour fire-rated separation from other common areas or which function
as a sole interior means of egress, which shall have approved smoke
detectors installed at each floor level at either the ceiling of the
landing or the high point of the landing or the high point of the
sloped staircase soffit.
Whenever in the enforcement of this Article or the regulation
of smoke detectors and smoke alarms is promulgated by the Department
of Community Affairs, Division of Housing, the responsibility of more
than one (1) enforcement official may be involved, it shall be their
duty to coordinate their inspections and administrative orders as
fully as practicable so that the owners, managing agents, occupants
and residents of the dwelling shall not be subjected to visits by
numerous inspectors or multiple or conflicting orders. Whenever an
inspector or an employee from any agency or department observes an
apparent or actual violation of some provision of this Article which
is not within the jurisdiction of the inspector or employee's
authority to enforce, that individual shall report the findings to
the Fire Prevention Subcode Official or to the Department of Building
Inspections and Code Enforcement.
Compliance with the requirements of this Article shall be not
later than three (3) months after final passage and adoption as provided
by law. Such additional time as may be allowed by the Fire Prevention
Subcode Official or, in his absence, the Department of Building Inspections
and Code Enforcement may be allowed upon application in writing made
prior to the expiration of the original time for compliance herein,
provided that good cause is shown for said extension, and further
provided that the owner or managing agent shall have installed in
each dwelling unit an approved, single-station smoke detector located
in close proximity to each sleeping area. Any approval or extension
beyond the initial three-month compliance period shall not be extended
beyond an additional three (3) months.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any of the
provisions of this Article shall, upon conviction, be punished by
a fine not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500.) or by imprisonment
for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days, or by both. Such fine
and imprisonment and each violation of any of the provisions of this
Article and each day the same is violated shall be deemed and taken
to be a separate and distinct offense.
