Bill > S1471

Introduced Session

This bill clarifies radiator cover requirements for residential landlords. The bill removes the reference to steam radiators and instead requires the provisions of N.J.S.A.52:27D-198.20 to apply to all types of radiators with a surface temperature greater than 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The bill also requires that radiators be equipped with a cover or durable guard, rather than insulating materials. Finally, the bill would remove the specific monetary penalty amount from N.J.S.A.52:27D-198.20 and provide that owners of property who are in violation of the law may be assessed a fine pursuant to N.J.S.A.52:27D-210, section 19 of the "Uniform Fire Safety Act."
