N.J. Stat. Ann. § 52:27D-280 et seq. § 52:27D-287.2
Regulations
Operative Text
2. The commissioner shall promulgate regulations pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.) necessary to implement this act. L.2004,c.140,s.2.
Under N.J.S.A. 52:27D-287.2, the New Jersey Commissioner of Community Affairs is directed to adopt administrative regulations needed to put the broader hotel and multiple dwelling act (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-280 et seq.) into operation. Those regulations must be developed through the formal rulemaking process established by the state's Administrative Procedure Act, which requires public notice and an opportunity for comment. This provision is essentially an enabling clause that gives the Commissioner the regulatory authority to fill in the operational details of the statute.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to the hotel and multiple dwelling framework under N.J.S.A. 52:27D-280 et seq., including § 52:27D-287.2, should be aware that the Commissioner's implementing regulations carry the same legal weight as the statute itself. Compliant operators generally monitor the New Jersey Register for any new or amended rules issued under this authority, since those rules can directly affect inspection, maintenance, and habitability standards. Staying current with the Commissioner's regulatory output is a routine part of operating within this statutory scheme.

Tenants living in properties covered by N.J.S.A. 52:27D-280 et seq. should know that § 52:27D-287.2 authorizes the Commissioner to issue binding regulations that can define their specific housing rights and protections under the act. When a landlord's conduct may violate those implementing regulations, tenants generally have the option of filing a complaint with the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs or consulting a tenant-rights organization to understand available remedies. Reviewing the regulations promulgated under this provision can help tenants identify the standards their housing is required to meet.
