§ 45:22a-45a.

document of an association, the executive board may, without the consent of the owners
or approval of a developer selling units in the planned real estate development, adopt
an assessment payable by the owners over one or more fiscal years or obtain a loan

estate development pursuant to section 3 of P.L.2023, c. 214 ( C.52:27D-132.4 ). Prior to adopting an assessment or obtaining a loan under this section, the executive
board shall make a determination that the assessment or loan are necessary to maintain
structural integrity of a building and shall obtain a written report from an engineer
or architect licensed by the State that states that the failure to undertake corrective
maintenance of the primary load bearing system will: (1) constitute an imminent or reasonably foreseeable hazard to health or safety; (2) constitute a violation of section 3 of P.L.2023, c. 214 ( C.52:27D-132.4 ), or (3) will result in a material increase in the cost of such corrective maintenance
if delayed. b. Nothing in this section shall prevent or interfere with the right of an association
to pursue a lawsuit concerning claims for construction defects related to any common
element of the planned real estate development.
