A clarification on the State of New Jersey and Borough of Avalon/ Borough of Stone Harbor fire inspection code:
1) No changes to the code for properties with hardwired detectors. Â Hardwired smoke detectors must be less than 10 years old.
2) The change applies to properties with stand alone battery operated smoke detectors. Â Those units MUST be swapped out with new detectors that have a 10 year sealed battery. Â Even if the current battery operated detectors were replaced with the past few years, property owners are required to comply with the new code.
