Smoke Alarm Inspections for the Resale of a Home

In order to allow the resale of a residential property to continue in this challenging time the following procedure replaces the previous physical inspection that has been required. Until further notice an affidavit of compliance is required to be submitted on theSmoke Alarm Compliance Application form found on the Town's website. The form must:

• Have all the sections completed, including the section about the installation and function of the various required alarms and portable fire extinguisher.
• Have a signature by anyone other than the actual resident/s of the structure and notarized.
• Be submitted to the town (either by mail or placed in the exterior drop box at 47 Leigh Street) with the appropriate fee.

Upon completion review a certificate can be issued. It is important to clearly indicate an email for which the certificate may be sent to. If you have questions regarding the form or this process, please contact fire official Jack Daniels at 908-468-1696 or by email at jdaniels@clintonnj.gov.
