Dear Jersey housing department
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding serious housing violations at the property located at 59 Ferry St, Jersey City, NJ 07307, where I resided from 2021 to 2023. During my time at this property, I observed multiple violations that raise concerns about the safety and legality of the rental arrangements.

Summary of Violations and Key Details

Unregistered Multi-Dwelling Use:
The property was rented to three separate tenants who were unrelated.
One female tenant resided downstairs, while I shared the upstairs unit with a male tenant. This indicates the property was used as a multi-dwelling rental unit without proper registration or approval.

Absence of the Landlord:
During my residency, the landlord was absent and did not reside at the property.
The property was rented out entirely, suggesting it was used as an unregistered income-generating rental property.

Fraudulent Actions to Avoid Inspections:
The landlord instructed me not to open the door during official inspections.
This appears to have been a deliberate attempt to avoid legal scrutiny and conceal the property’s non-compliance with housing regulations.

Pattern of Violations and Inspections:
The property has a history of multiple re-inspections and ongoing violations, including issues related to obstruction and safety concerns.

I would like to request the following information, if available:

1. Confirmation of the property's classification as a Rooming and Boarding home.

2. Details of any inspections, violations, or compliance actions associated with this property.

3. Registration or licensing status of this property under Rooming and Boarding regulations.

4. Any additional information regarding safety or occupancy standards applicable to this property.

If there are specific steps or documentation needed to proceed with my inquiry, please let me know. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Jiawei Lu
