Hillside — Ch. 18 Art. XIII Condominium Conversion § 18-587
All garages, parking lots, walkways, and driveways shall be sufficiently lighted during the hours of darkness. Fixtures for all lights shall be of the types that are protected from breakage.

Plain English

Section 18-587 of Hillside's Condominium Conversion ordinance (Ch. 18, Art. XIII) requires that garages, parking lots, walkways, and driveways be adequately illuminated throughout all nighttime hours. Additionally, the light fixtures used in these areas must be of a type designed to resist breakage, rather than standard exposed-bulb fixtures. The rule applies as a baseline standard for properties subject to condominium conversion requirements in Hillside.

For Property Managers

Under § 18-587, compliant operators ensure that all garages, parking lots, walkways, and driveways on the property are kept sufficiently lit from dusk to dawn, with no dark gaps in coverage. Fixture selection matters as well — property managers typically install vandal-resistant or shatter-resistant light fixtures in these areas to meet the breakage-protection requirement. Routine inspections of lighting equipment help confirm that fixtures remain functional and continue to meet the standard set out in Ch. 18, Art. XIII.

For Tenants

Section 18-587 gives residents a basis to expect that shared outdoor and parking areas — including garages, lots, walkways, and driveways — are adequately lit at night with protected fixtures. If lighting in these areas appears insufficient or fixtures are unprotected and prone to breakage, tenants may document the conditions and raise the issue with the property owner or manager in writing. Tenants who believe the standard under Ch. 18, Art. XIII is not being met can also explore options such as contacting the relevant Hillside municipal code enforcement office or consulting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on next steps.
