At a work session following the council meeting, Ian Foster presented a proposed comprehensive update to Title 15 to align the city's building and construction code with current state code references, add inspection and demolition procedures, clarify certificate-of-occupancy processes, and bring locally regulated items under local ordinance.

The township filed a verified complaint with an order to show cause against the owner and tenant of 2407 Burlington Ave., citing repeated failures to obtain required approvals and alleged UCC, Board of Health and NJDEP violations; a court hearing is expected in August.

Town counsel told the committee the township's superior court enforcement action on UCC and fire code counts remains active and that zoning issues have been referred to the Monmouth County Agricultural Development Board; the property owner disputed that characterization during public comment.
