Hoboken has no breed-specific ban, consistent with NJ state law (N.J.S.A. 4:19-36) prohibiting blanket breed bans. Dogs with a bite history must be quarantined for 10 days. Dogs declared potentially dangerous under N.J.S.A. 4:19-23 face enhanced requirements.
New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 4:19-36) prohibits municipalities from enacting breed-specific bans. Hoboken's Chapter 93 does not include breed-specific restrictions. Any dog that bites a person must be quarantined for 10 days for rabies observation. Under N.J.S.A. 4:19-23, potentially dangerous dogs must comply with special requirements including: microchipping, liability insurance, proper enclosure, and muzzling in public. A dog declared potentially dangerous that attacks again may be ordered humanely destroyed. All dog ownership responsibilities fall under Chapter 93 and NJ state law.
Failure to quarantine biting dog: violation under Chapter 93. Non-compliance with potentially dangerous dog order: criminal charges under N.J.S.A. 4:19-23.
