Overview
This bill aims to increase penalties for corporations that violate municipal housing codes in New Jersey. Specifically, it allows courts to impose fines up to three times the maximum penalty for a housing code violation when a corporation or its high-level manager is convicted. Furthermore, it grants the Attorney General the authority to pursue dissolution, forfeiture of charter, or revocation of business certificates for corporations found guilty of such violations. The bill also reinforces existing provisions regarding repeat offenses and opportunities for property owners to correct violations before fines are imposed.
