or shipments, etc. A CCC shall not be issued for a change of tenancy
until the new tenant has registered with the Fire Prevention Bureau
and has met the requirements of the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code.
d.
The owner of a residential dwelling unit is hereby charged with responsibility
for making written application in accordance with this section for
a CCC. The buyer or tenant of such dwelling or structure may elect
to assume the seller's responsibility, including the obligation to
correct all violations; provided, however, that such election shall
be in writing and shall state that the buyer or tenant is totally
aware that he, she or it is assuming responsibility for obtaining
a CCC pursuant to this section; and provided, further, that such written
election shall be filed with the Supervising Official. If, in the
opinion of the Supervising Official, the violations do not affect
life safety, then the buyer or tenant may be permitted to occupy the
residential unit during the time the violations are being corrected.
The buyer shall not occupy the structure until all life safety violations
are corrected and the structure is reinspected by the Township. Upon
correction of all violations of any nature, the buyer or tenant shall
request the Township to reinspect the structure for compliance. Upon
the Township determining that buyer or tenant is in complete compliance,
an unconditional CCC shall be issued.
e.
The Supervising Official shall issue a CCC, provided that there are
no violations of law or orders of the Construction Official, in consultation
with the Zoning Officer, and it is established, after site inspection
and investigation of available municipal records, that the alleged
use of the structure has lawfully existed. The CCC shall evidence
only that a general inspection of the visible parts of the building
or structure has been made and that no violations of N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14,
as amended (Construction Permits — When Required), and N.J.A.C.
5:23-2.18, as amended (Required Inspections), have been determined
to exist, no conditions of violation of N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.32, as amended
(Unsafe Structures), or unsafe conditions have been observed and no
violations of the Revised General Ordinances of the Township of Piscataway
have been found to exist.
f.
If the Supervising Official, as the result of a permit records search and/or a general inspection of visible parts of the structure, finds a violation as set forth in subsection e, he shall notify the owner of the violation in writing by electronic or regular mail or by hand-delivering the notice to the owner or his agent. The notice shall identify the premises and specify the violations and any remedial action required, along with a compliance date. The notice will require the owner to satisfy the violations and file any necessary permits as required, and the notice shall also state that failure to correct the violations within the times specified shall result in fines.
g.
A temporary certificate of continued compliance, if issued, in the
discretion of the Supervising Official, shall be effective for a period
of up to 90 days. One administrative extension of not more than 30
days may be granted by the Supervising Official. If the owner of the
dwelling unit fails to sell, transfer or grant the right of occupancy
within this period, the owner shall make a new written application
for and obtain a new CCC.
