August 18, 2008, N.J.A.C.
13:10-2.4, which sets forth the requirements
to which property owners subject to the Multiple
Dwelling Reporting Rule must adhere, was amended
to require all owners to file
the annual MDRR report online at the Division
on Civil Rights’ website: www.NJCivilRights.org.
Previously, the regulation permitted filing either
by mail or electronically. The mail and fax options
have now been eliminated, by regulation. Therefore,
all property owners subject to the rule must now
e-file on the DCR website. |
