Overview
This bill shortens the timeframe for municipalities in New Jersey to declare property abandoned and begin the process of rehabilitation. Currently, a property must be unoccupied for six months before a municipality can take action. This bill reduces that period to three months, allowing for quicker action on abandoned properties that are in need of repair and potentially impacting community blight. The bill also clarifies certain criteria for determining abandonment and streamlines the process for municipalities to obtain possession of the property.
