Jackson officials announced that the first day of in-person inspections by the township’s newly established Rental Safety Bureau resulted in multiple rental violations and the discovery of suspected criminal activity.
Mayor Jennifer Kuhn said inspections conducted on March 16 marked the first day bureau staff carried out in-person checks of rental properties across the township.
According to township officials, 50% of the properties inspected were found to have rental violations.
During one inspection, officials also identified suspected criminal activity at a property. The matter was reported to law enforcement, which is now conducting an investigation.
The Rental Safety Bureau was recently created as part of a new township program requiring annual inspections of all rental properties.
Officials said the inspections are aimed at identifying violations, ensuring compliance with local regulations, and addressing issues related to illegal rental activity.
