There are a few a remaining steps to complete homestay approval. I am not sure if you have completed
these steps already.
1. Provide neighbors an emergency contact for the homestay. The template letter list of those to
notify is attached. You can email me a copy of the letter once it is sent.
2. Submit Short Term Rental registration form

Complete the Fire Marshal and Building Official's Homestay Safety Checklist.
• The address of the property must be posted at the driveway so emergency vehicles can find
the property. If more than two structures are located on the property, the addresses must also
be located on the individual structures. Each structure used for a homestay must have its
own unique address.
• A 2A:10BC fire extinguisher must be installed in the kitchen area, preferably on a wall and not
in a cabinet.
• An emergency evacuation floor plan must be displayed. The plan must show directions to the
exterior and the 911 address of the property in each habitable room. This is similar to the
diagram you see on the back of your hotel room door showing where to go in an emergency.
• Each bedroom must have an operable emergency escape and rescue opening. Windows
must be operable and not painted shut and in compliance with the Building Code.
• No extension cords may be used in lieu of permeant wiring. Power strips are allowed if sized
properly and contain overcurrent protection built into the strip.
• Access to the electrical panel box must be available to the tenant at all times.
• Interconnected smoke alarms must be installed in each sleeping room, outside of each
sleeping room in the vicinity of the bedrooms, on each additional story of the dwelling,
including basements and habitable attics, as required by the Building Code.
