Page 9 of 9 TAKE NOTICE THAT, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:70-2.10(d) 2 an application for an extension shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the notice of violation is factually and procedurally correct and that the violations do or did exist. In addition, the request for an extension constitutes a waiver of the right to a hearing as to those violations for which an extension is applied. PENALTIES Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:70-2.12, a violation of the Code is punishable by monetary penalties of not more than $5,000 per day for each violation. Each day a violation continues is an additional, separate violation except while an appeal is pending. ALSO TAKE NOTICE THAT, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:70-2.12A, when an owner has been given notice of the existence of a violation and has not abated the violation, that owner shall, in addition to being liable to the penalty provided for by N.J.A.C. 5:70-2.12, be liable to a dedicated penalty in the like amount. Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:70-2.12(e), a violation that is recurring justifies imposition of an immediate penalty without the necessity for an interval in which corrections can be made. A violation shall be deemed to be a recurring violation if a notice has been served within two years from the date that a previous notice was served and the violation, premises and responsible party are substantially the same. Claims arising out of penalty assessments can be compromised or settled if it shall be likely to result in compliance. Moreover, no such disposition can be finalized while the violation continues to exist. Any penalties assessed are in addition to others previously assessed. Penalties must be paid in full within 30 days after an order to pay. If full payment is not made within 30 days, the matter will be referred to the Office of the Attorney General for summary collection pursuant to The Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999, P.L.1999, C. 274 (C. 2A: 58-1 et seq.). NOTICE If you require guidance or advice concerning your legal rights, obligations or the course of action you should follow, consult your own advisor.
