I am purchasing a home in Toms River, NJ, that failed a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) inspection due to an unpermitted outdoor bathroom that has been there for 8-10 years. The township will not issue a CO until the bathroom is removed or permits are obtained, which could take 30-45 days. My buyers are ready to close on my current home, creating a time crunch. Is there any way to get a temporary CO or a loophole to allow me to live in the home during this period?
