  • Winter Storm

    Although no issues with snow, the island felt the effects of moderate tidal flooding and some beach erosion.

    The crews from public works were out in force today handling street and beach path clean up.

    Beach access may be limited on some blocks until the sand is leveled.  Watch your step!

  • Rental License, Avalon and Stone Harbor

    fireextingFor 2022 rental licenses in Avalon and Stone Harbor, NJ:

    The inspected and tagged fire extinguisher will no longer be permitted inside a cabinet.

    Make plans to mount the fire extinguisher in the kitchen in an open location in order to pass the inspection for the 2022 rental season.

    This new regulation should be posted on the 2021/2022 renewal paperwork.

    More specifics from the Borough of Avalon:

    The extinguisher must be labeled, charged and operable.

    • Extinguishers must be within 10 feet of the kitchen and located in the path of egress, or near the way out.

    • Units must be readily accessible and visible.

    • Extinguishers must be mounted using the manufacturer’s hanging bracket, so the operating instructions are clearly visible.

    • The extinguisher cannot weigh more than 10 pounds.

    • Extinguishers must be an approved type with a minimum rating of 2A-10B:C.

    • Upon inspection of the home, the owner’s manual or written operational instructions must be provided and left for the new occupant.

    • The unit must be serviced and tagged by a certified Division of Fire Safety contractor within the past 12 months, or the homeowner must have a receipt for a recently purchased extinguisher.

    • When the unit is mounted, the top cannot be more than five feet above the floor.

     Whereas the extinguisher used to be allowed to exist under the sink, it now has to be visible. As such, we need to hang a fire extinguisher to pass the fire cert.

  • Expectations for Summer 2021

    Rental bookings for 2021 are slightly ahead compared to this same time last year.

    A few observations based on my local experience, as well as discussions with nearby shore town real estate agents:

    1) We have lost some rental inventory due to owners opting to keep their properties available for family use.  This may be a temporary situation based on current limitations for other travel.

    2) More tenants are looking for multiple weeks.  They know that a beach vacation can be a safe break, and a happy experience to plan.

    3) Even our long time regular repeats are signing leases and sending in checks early.  They want to be certain their reservations are secured!

    4) Homes with pools continue to be popular- ideal for social distancing.

    5) There are many requests for pet friendly rentals.  Two of our pet friendly rentals sold this fall, and are no longer an option.  Tenants are willing to pay a surcharge and provide references if an owner will consider their dog (often it’s on a case by case basis).

    6) Our rental inventory is constantly changing.  Search our web site and contact me to discuss!  Tim Kerr Sotheby’s web site
