The State of New Jersey has enacted the New Jersey State Uniform Construction Code, New Jersey Administrative Code: Title 5, Chapter 23, as the sole regulatory scheme governing construction in the State of New Jersey. The New Jersey State Uniform Construction Code adopts and incorporates, by reference, in whole or in part, the International Building Code, International Residential Code, International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code, International Fuel Gas Code and various related subcodes. The New Jersey State Uniform Construction Code provides for enforcement of its provisions in a unified fashion at the municipal, inter-local and State levels. The Borough of Mantoloking seeks to establish a municipal enforcement agency for enforcement of the Uniform Construction Code; and the Borough seeks to appoint local, county and State employees to serve as code enforcement officials.

More than one (1) such official position may be held by the same person; provided that such person is qualified pursuant to P.L. 1975, c. 217 and N.J.A.C. 5:23 to hold each such position.

Subcode and Fire Subcode Officials. The Department of Community Affairs

private on-site inspection and plan review agencies.
Acting appointments to the position of Construction Official
or Subcode Official (individually or as employees of private on-site

in accordance with and subject to law.
[Ord. No. 498 § 4]

[Ord. No. 187 § 3]
Whenever a petition is filed with the Public Officer by a public
authority or by at least five (5) residents of the Borough charging
that any building is unfit for human habitation or occupancy or use
or whenever it appears to the Public Officer on his own motion that
any building is unfit for human habitation or occupancy or use, the
Public Officer shall, if his preliminary investigation discloses a
basis for such charges, issue and cause to be served upon the owner
of and parties in interest in such building a complaint stating the
charges in that respect and containing a notice that a hearing will
be held before the Public Officer, or his designated agent, at a place
therein fixed not less than ten (10) days nor more than thirty (30)
days after the serving of the complaint; that the owner and parties
in interest shall be given the right to file an answer to the complaint
and to appear in person, or otherwise, and give testimony at the place
and time fixed in the complaint; and that the rules of evidence prevailing
in the courts shall not be controlling in hearings before the Public
Officer.
[Ord. No. 187 § 4]
If, after such notice and hearing, the Public Officer determines
that the building under consideration is unfit for human habitation
or occupancy or use, he shall state in writing his findings of fact
in support of such determination and shall issue and cause to be served
upon the owner thereof and parties in interest an order:
a.
Requiring the repair, alteration or improvement of the building to

have the building vacated and closed within the times set forth in
the order; and
b.
If the building is in such a condition as to make it dangerous to
the health and safety of persons on or near the premises, and the
owner fails to repair, alter or improve the building within the time
specified in the order, then the owner shall be required to remove
or demolish the building within a reasonable time as specified in
the order of removal.
[Ord. No. 187 § 5]
If the owner fails to comply with an order to repair, alter
or improve or, at the option of the owner, to vacate and close the
building, the Public Officer may cause such building to be repaired,
altered or improved, or to be vacated and closed; and the Public Officer
may cause to be posted on the main entrance of any building so closed

against the real property upon which such cost was incurred. If the
building is removed or demolished by the Public Officer, he shall
sell the materials of such building. There shall be credited against
the cost of the removal or demolition the proceeds of any sale of
materials or any sum derived from any contract for the removal or
demolition of the building. If there are no such credits or if the
sum total of such costs exceeds the total of credits, a detailed statement
of the costs and the amount due shall be filed with the Borough Tax
Assessor and a copy thereof shall be forwarded to the owner by certified
mail. If the total of the credits exceeds such costs, the balance
remaining shall be deposited in the Superior Court by the Public Officer,

shall be disbursed according to the Order or Judgment of the Court
to the persons found to be entitled thereto by final Order or Judgment
of such Court; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall

by summary proceedings or otherwise. Any owner or party in interest
may, within sixty (60) days from the date of the filing of the lien
certificate, proceed in a summary manner in the Superior Court to
contest the reasonableness of the accuracy of the costs set forth
in the Borough lien certificate.
[Ord. No. 187 § 8]
The Public Officer may determine that a building is unfit for
human habitation or occupancy or use if he finds that conditions exist

Officer shall make an affidavit to that effect. The serving of such
complaint or order upon such persons may be made by publishing the
same once each week for two (2) successive weeks in a newspaper printed
and published in the Borough, or, in the absence of such newspaper,
in one printed and published in the County and circulating in the
Borough. A copy of such complaint or order shall be posted in a conspicuous
place on premises affected by the complaint or order. A copy of such
complaint or order shall be duly recorded or lodged for record with
the County Recording Officer.
[Ord. No. 187 § 10]

under this act may, within sixty (60) days after the posting and service
of such order, bring an action for injunctive relief to restrain the
Public Officer from carrying out the provisions of the order and for
any other appropriate relief. The Court may proceed in the action
in a summary manner or otherwise. The remedy herein provided shall
be exclusive, and no person affected by an order of the Public Officer
