Jackson Township Council President Mordechai Burnstein and Council Vice President Giuseppe Palmeri announced they will host a community roundtable on rental properties and related issues facing the township.
This meeting is another step in the township’s overall plan to crackdown on illegal rentals and to increase enforcement of local rental ordinances as the town gears up for 2026 and the start of the new Bureau of Rental Housing.
The roundtable will take place at town hall at 95 West Veterans Highway on Tuesday, January 13, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The purpose of the roundtable is to provide residents with an open forum to share feedback, concerns, and ideas regarding rentals in Jackson Township. Input gathered from the community will help ensure that Township leadership has the most comprehensive information possible when considering policies and making informed decisions that reflect the needs of residents.
Joining council leaders at the discussion will be Township Attorney McGuckin, Code Enforcement Head Andrew Cheney, and Ms. Denise Neri, who will be available to provide insight and answer questions related to their respective areas of expertise. Individual council members will attend on a rotating basis to ensure compliance with New Jersey state quorum restrictions.
“This roundtable is about listening,” said Council President Burnstein. “We want to hear directly from our residents, understand their experiences, and work collaboratively toward thoughtful solutions.”
“Mayor Kuhn and the township council have listened to and fully understand the concerns and complaints made by residents in the past, and we are committed to enforcing our ordinances and ensuring compliance by all landlords in Jackson,” Council Vice President Giuseppe Palmeri said. “We will use every legal means in our toolbox to ensure all rentals are in full compliance moving forward in Jackson Township.”
Palmeri said he looks forward to hearing from residents on this issue, noting that many of the ordinances and actions taken place now began as discussions with the community.
Palmeri added, “Community engagement is essential to good governance. By opening this dialogue, we can better address concerns while ensuring that any future actions are well-informed and balanced.”
Jackson Township residents are encouraged to attend and participate in this important conversation as Township leadership continues its commitment to transparency, collaboration, and responsive local government.
