N.J. Stat. Ann. § 55:13A-1 et seq. § 55:13A-26.2
Appropriation for Revolving Housing Development and Demonstration Grant Fund
Operative Text
In the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1993, and in each fiscal year thereafter, there shall be appropriated to the Revolving Housing Development and Demonstration Grant Fund established by section 5 of P.L.1967, c.82 (C.52:27D-63) an amount not less than the amount by which hotel and multiple dwelling inspection program costs during the next preceding fiscal year exceeded inspection fee revenue under the program received by the Department of Community Affairs during Fiscal Year 1991. L.1991,c.179,s.3.
Under N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1 et seq. § 55:13A-26.2, New Jersey is required each fiscal year to transfer state funds into the Revolving Housing Development and Demonstration Grant Fund. The amount transferred must be at least equal to the gap between what the hotel and multiple dwelling inspection program cost in the prior fiscal year and the inspection fee revenue the Department of Community Affairs collected in Fiscal Year 1991. This provision ensures that the inspection program's funding shortfall is covered by a dedicated appropriation rather than left unfunded.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners subject to New Jersey's hotel and multiple dwelling inspection program should be aware that N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1 et seq. § 55:13A-26.2 establishes a mandatory state appropriation mechanism tied to inspection program costs. Compliant operators generally keep current with inspection fee obligations, since those fees factor into the baseline calculation that determines how much the state must appropriate each year. Understanding this funding structure can help operators anticipate how the Department of Community Affairs sustains its inspection activities over time.

N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1 et seq. § 55:13A-26.2 provides tenants with context for how New Jersey funds the ongoing inspection of hotels and multiple dwellings. Because the state is required to appropriate funds to cover inspection program shortfalls, tenants living in regulated buildings can understand that inspection activity is intended to be financially sustained year over year. Tenants who have concerns about whether inspections are being conducted may consider reaching out to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs or a local tenant-rights organization to learn about available oversight and complaint processes.
