Edison, NJ Rental Inspections: Inspection Programs (2026)

10 are triggered by 'reported issues within a unit or building,' not a fixed calendar cycle; once triggered, the subject site 'shall be inspected until the subject site passes inspection without critical or major issues,' with appointments scheduled at reasonable times on notice to both owner and tenant. Newly constructed apartments or dwelling units in complexes over four rental units get a two-State-licensing-period exemption from this section after the certificate of occupancy issues, as long as no Building Department violations are on file and the State separately registers and inspects the property under the Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Code.

Inspections check Chapter 37 zoning compliance and, where applicable, Chapter 15 property maintenance standards and any other code the observed conditions implicate; only inspectors 'duly authorized and appointed by the Township of Edison' count, so a private or third-party inspection cannot substitute. 11 requires designated inspection officers to carry official identification, show it on entry, and conduct themselves to avoid 'intentional embarrassment or inconvenience to occupants,' while landlords, owners and agents must give them free access to any rental unit, yard or part of the premises at reasonable times.

10d gives the owner sixty days to fix them before each additional day becomes a separate violation. 12 lets the officer apply to the Municipal Court judge for a search warrant on affidavit, and refusing an inspector holding that warrant is itself a violation.
