Getting a Boarding House License

[Ryan B.]

Does anyone have any experience applying for a Boarding House license through the NJ Bureau of Rooming and Boarding House Standards? How difficult is it to get a license, if they are even issued at all? Is there a document somewhere out there that clearly explains the requirements and distinctions between Classes A, B, C, and F?  I'm interested in knowing the requirements for whatever the least specialized license is - not an assisted living facility or anything like that. Does the local municipality play a role in the approvals process? That is to say, can you get the license from the Bureau and then still get rejected if the town doesn't permit boarding houses?

Any assitance or direction would be appreciated!
