A apartment needs to have a firewall between the floor of a garage.
Illegal apartments, which often take the form of impermissible attic, basement, and garage units, pose many significant health, fire, and safety risks. For example, many illegal apartments cause fires as a result of the extra burden placed on a building's electrical system. These apartments are also likely to result in the overcrowding of buildings leading to many health and safety risks. To reduce these risks, the Legislature amended the Anti-Eviction Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1 et seq., in 1993 to stiffen the penalties against owners of illegal apartments and to provide relocation benefits to tenants that are evicted as a result of zoning law enforcement for illegal occupancy. There has been a great disparity in how courts have interpreted and enforced the amendment for a number of years until the New Jersey Supreme Court"s recent decision in Miah v. Ahmed, 179 N.J. 511 (2004) where the court clarified the overall purpose and meaning behind the statute.
