52:27D-209. Violations in life hazard use as willful or grossly negligent or of previously issued order and constituting clear danger to human life; order for continued vacation and closing; reconsideration hearing a. If the enforcing agency finds a violation of the provisions of this act in a life hazard use to be willful or grossly negligent, or to be in violation of a previously issued order, and to constitute a clear danger to human life, in addition to ordering the building, structure or premises vacated and closed until the violation is abated, the enforcing agency may order the building, structure or premises to remain vacated and closed for a further period not to exceed 60 days and until such time as a certificate of continued occupancy, issued pursuant to regulations authorized by section 6 of the "State Uniform Construction Code Act," P.L.1975, c. 217 (C. 52:27D-124) shall be obtained by the owner. b. If the owner of a building, structure or premises denies that a violation exists justifying an order to remain closed for the period of time indicated in the order, the owner may apply to the commissioner, or construction board of appeals, as the case may be, for a reconsideration hearing. The hearing shall be conducted, and a final decision issued, within 48 hours of receipt of the request. Failure to issue a decision shall constitute denial of the appeal. L.1983, c. 383, s. 18.
