Housing Inspection & Landlord Licensing

Woodbury Housing Department is responsible for the enforcement of the New Jersey State Housing Code as well as other codes and regulations of the City of Woodbury.

These codes apply to all existing residential and commercial buildings and establish certain minimum standards and requirements for the purpose of protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the people.

These various codes are related to water supply, plumbing facilities, lighting, electricity, ventilation, heating, egress, and general maintenance of buildings.

All residential rental units are required to submit the Landlord Registration Form and the Landlord Licensing Form. The Landlord Registration Form must be submitted with each change of occupancy inspection. The Landlord Registration Form must be submitted at any change of ownership.
