REQUIREMENTS FOR RENTAL
PROPERTIES
All applications
must be completed in their entirety and submitted along with the appropriate
fees to the Housing/Licensing Department prior to inspection. Application
forms are available at the Building Department.

should be made payable to the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach.
Sorry, no fees will be accepted outside the office. Once fees & applications
are received, an inspection will be scheduled. Access must be provided
to the rental unit for inspection.
Since inspectors’ schedules vary from day to day and hour to hour, no
specific appointments are scheduled. Should the inspection fail for any
reason a $50.00 re-inspection penalty will be assessed. This fee must
be paid prior to the next inspection. A re-inspection will be scheduled
once all items are ready for re-inspection and the additional fee paid.
