Want To Know What Ordinance Your
Neighbor's Blasting
Music Falls Under?
Look No Further, My
Friend, The Municipal
Code Has The Answers!
The Jersey City Municipal
Code (Code) is a compilation
of local laws and legislation adopted by
the governing body of the City.

Over the long course of Jersey City’s history,
the Code has required constant updates,
which are currently being done by the Muni-
cipal Code Corporation.

Extremely user friendly, the Code is organized
alphabetically by subject. It outlines the duties
and responsibilities of all those who live, work,
visit, conduct business and/or provide services
in Jersey City. 

And the noise ordinance, by the way,  is #222
on the Hit Parade! The Snow Removal ordin-
ance is Section 296-1.1 of the City Code.

Reval Update - Where Are The Reval Inspectors
Now?Identify Your Reval Inspector!
All data collectors for Realty Appraisal
Company, which is conducting the city-
wide property revaluation, carry two forms
of identification. One is a Realty Appraisal
Company Photo ID and the other is a letter signed
by the Tax Assessor. They are all registered with
the Jersey City Police Department.

No data collector will take any photographs inside
the home EVER. Most of the work is done Monday
through Saturday, though a few data collectors do
work on Sunday. If you have any doubts about the
data collector, do not allow them admittance and call
911 immediately.

Download photos & ID of reval inspectors here.

Follow the Reval's progress  by friending the
 Official Government Facebook Page or by
following JC_GOV on Twitter. For a list of FAQs,
read more. Any resident who has questions or con-
cerns about the inspectors should not hesitate to call
the City's Reval Hotline at 201-547-4538. Read
more here.

 

 

Has Your Property Been The Victim Of Graffiti?
The JCIA Can Help Homeowners
Remove Tags & Repaint!
Many homeowners believe that if their
private property has been tagged or
disfigured by graffiti vandals, it's up to
them to remove it. Depending on how
hard that is, residents may just want to
paint over it themselves. But if it's a
persistent or really large example of
someone's "self expression," the Jersey
City Incinerator Authority will come out and repair the
damage for you. Just sign & send in the JCIA waiver 
and provide the paint, if the building needs to be power
washed. Note: Residents should take photos of the tags
and send them to their local police district with the date
and time the vandals struck. If the culprits are caught,
they could be charged with earlier acts of vandalism.

Abandoned Properties List Published,
Placing Delinquent Owners On Notice!
The city’s worst abandoned properties are now on
public record! Lists of vacant buildings are now published
in the newspaper in an effort to place pressure on owners
to improve properties which are currently a blight to
their neighborhoods.
