Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 55:19-90, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 55:19-90.
A municipality may exercise its rights under P.L.2003, c. 210 ( C.55:19-78 et al.) directly, or may designate a qualified rehabilitation entity to act as its
designee for the purpose of exercising the municipality's rights where that designation
will further the rehabilitation and reuse of the property consistent with municipal
plans and objectives. This designation shall be made by resolution of the municipal governing body, except
that in municipalities organized under the “mayor- council plan” of the “Optional
Municipal Charter Law,” P.L.1950, c. 210 ( C.40:69A-1 et seq. ), it shall be made by the mayor. The governing body or mayor, as the case may be, may delegate this authority to
the public officer. Regardless of whether a municipality exercises its rights directly or designates a
qualified rehabilitation entity pursuant to this section, while in possession of a
property pursuant to P.L.2003, c. 210 ( C.55:19-78 et al.), a municipality shall maintain, safeguard, and maintain insurance on the
property. Notwithstanding the municipality's possession of the property, nothing in P.L.2003, c. 210 ( C.55:19-78 et al.) shall be deemed to relieve the owner of the property of any civil or criminal
liability or any duty imposed by reason of acts or omissions of the owner.
