Under NJ Uniform Fire Code N.J.A.C. 5:70-4.19, Galloway homes must have smoke alarms on each level and outside each sleeping area, plus carbon monoxide alarms near bedrooms. A compliance certificate is required before any sale or change of occupancy.
New Jersey's statewide fire code, enforced locally by Galloway's fire official, mandates smoke alarms in one- and two-family and attached single-family dwellings on each level of the premises and outside each separate sleeping area. Carbon monoxide alarms are required in the immediate vicinity of sleeping areas for any dwelling with a fuel-burning device or attached garage. Battery-operated smoke alarms must be 10-year sealed units listed to ANSI/UL 217. Before a home is sold, leased, or has a change of occupancy, the owner must obtain a Certificate of Smoke Alarm, Carbon Monoxide Alarm and Portable Fire Extinguisher Compliance from the local fire office.
Selling or renting without the required compliance certificate, or failing to maintain alarms, violates N.J.A.C. 5:70 and can result in penalties and a blocked closing until inspection passes.
