Rental Inspection/Owner Preparation: What must a landlord do to prepare for an inspection for a Certificate of Occupancy?
A-36. You will need to complete an Application for a Certificate of Occupancy for a Rental Unit. Forms are available to download from our web site at http://www.cherryhill-nj.com. Bring in the completed form and a $65 check to cover the permit fee for review and scheduling by our Rental Property Inspector. Prior to inspection, owners should ensure their unit is in good, clean sound condition. The following are some of the areas checked: that walls are freshly painted, that all surfaces are cleaned, that rugs are cleaned, that toilet seats are new, that ground fault interrupters (GFIs) are installed within 3 ft of every water source, that fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide detectors are installed as necessary.
