Newark, NJ Temporary Certificate of Occupancy
I currently have an accepted offer for an investor client on a house in Newark. Needs a total renovation, not habitable. The city requires the seller to pay for and setup the certificate of occupancy inspection. The inspection was done about 2 weeks ago. The listing agent now says they have to schedule a hearing to obtain the temporary certificate of occupancy. Any of the Newark investors now how long this process usually takes? We are anxious to close, renovate, and get the house back on the market but the process is dragging on.
