If you own three or more-unit rental properties, mixed-use structures, inns, dormitories, or Greek housing, you are required to register your property with the Division of Code Enforcement. A Certificate of Compliance ensures all occupied mixed-use and / or multiple occupancy properties are safe, healthy, and up to code.
