The law requires the seller, landlord, or transferor of the property to provide a smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and portable fire extinguisher (placed within 10 feet of the kitchen area) as part of a change of occupancy. NJAR was able to secure an amendment to the legislation to exclude all seasonal rental units.

The New Jersey Division of Codes and Standards, released a clarification to the Fire Extinguisher Law, which requires that upon the sale, lease or transfer of a building with fewer than three units, each unit be equipped with at least one portable fire extinguisher. The clarification states that new homes being sold for the first time do not need to be equipped with a fire extinguisher. The Division's clarification states that new homes are inspected under the Uniform Construction Code (UCC) and existing housing is inspected under the Uniform Fire Code (UFC). New Jersey's fire extinguisher law made amendments to only the UFC and not to the UCC. Read the Fire Extinguisher Law in its entirety.
