How to Obtain a Letter of Prior Uses
All child care applicants are required to certify the history
and environmental conditions of their proposed site before the DCF,
Office of Licensing will approve an application.
As part of the licensing/relicensing process, certification of
whether the child care facility is in a building that ever housed
an activity that falls under any of the four Uniform Construction
Code (UCC) group codes as listed below is required:
- Nail salon/Dry cleaner (Group B)
- Storage (Group S)
- High hazard (Group H)
- Factory/industrial (Group F)
Past usage of a property relative to UCC group classification can
best be provided by the construction code official of the municipality
in which the property is located. A listing of municipal construction
code officials can be found on the Department of Community Affairs
web site at: http://www.nj.gov/dca/codes/misc/muniroster.htm.
Questions about the Uniform Construction Code should be directed
to the Department of Community Affairs, Code Assistance Unit at
(609) 984-7609.
Please be advised that in the case of old buildings, what is in
the construction official's files may or may not be dispositive
of the question of past uses of the property. |
