01-2-3223 Department of Community Affairs, Bureau of Housing Inspection v. Dougherty , App. Div. (per curiam) (16 pp.) Timothy and Mary Dougherty appeal a final agency decision of the Department of Community Affairs finding the Doughertys’ three-family residence in violation of N.J.A.C. 5:10-19.2(a)(5), a regulation of the Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law. Finding the DCA’s interpretation and enforcement of the regulation to be reasonable in requiring the Doughertys to install viewers (or “peepholes”) on the individual entry doors of the apartment units within their building, the appellate panel affirmed. [Decided March 27, 2009.]

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW — PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACT REGISTRATION

01-2-3224 New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development v. R.I. Inc. , App. Div. (per curiam) (11 pp.) Petitioner appeals the final administrative action denying its application for renewal of its public works contract registration. The denial is affirmed since, although petitioner received no advance notice of the expiration of its registration, the certificate plainly states the expiration date on its face; the commissioner is not equitably estopped from denying the renewal under the facts here; and the omission of a corporate officer’s name in the application for renewal was by itself a sufficient ground to deny renewal. [Decided March 27, 2009.]
