Office of Code Compliance

Office of Code Compliance

The Office of Code Compliance (OCC) is responsible for the enforcement of Jersey City's local ordinances (also referred to as municipal codes). Comprised of inspectors and support staff, the office oversees the inspections of resident, commercial, and open-space properties, and oversees other matters related to compliance with the laws of Jersey City that protect our quality of life. 

The OCC's operations are community-driven and guided by a progressive approach of “education before enforcement" to proactively encourage compliance rather than reactively respond to violators. Inspectors lead with conversation and education, while court summonses and prosecution are our last resort.
