Ordinance O.2215-2024, adopted 25 April 2024, rewrote Edison's annual multiple-dwelling registration: a building of five or more rental units registers each year at $100 per unit, giving the owner's name, address and telephone number and the square footage, sleeping rooms and kitchen facilities of every unit. The fee is waived where the owner is over 66 and lives on the property.
$100 a unit a year is the largest recurring municipal registration charge in this tranche by an order of magnitude — a twelve-unit building pays $1,200 annually, which is a real line in an operating statement rather than a filing fee, and it lands on exactly the size of building a small investor moves up into. It is being litigated: owners of more than 8,000 units sued the township in Middlesex County Superior Court arguing the fee is unlawful, the information demands improper and the inspection requirement vague. A repealer was introduced and then withdrawn. So budget the fee and check its status, in that order.
