FIRST ANSWER

Homebuyer: Having owned property in Bordentown City for over 25 years, I can tell you that the building department, manned by state staffers, is really very accommodating to the average Joe or Jane. While the building codes are state based, local enforcement varies according to the interest of the enforcement people and the problems of the community.

My advice: Go to the office during hour and ask the person(s) who will be determining what is in the code. Simple enough?
