What should a New Jersey association or management company look for in inspection software?

Look for software that leaves what a New Jersey board now has to stand behind: a dated, photographed record of each common-area component for the capital reserve study the law requires at least every five years, damage on a balcony or a garage deck in front of the manager the day it is found, and a work order that stays open until the fix is checked. Then check the practical things: it keeps working offline in a garage or a pump room, it is priced per company rather than per door, the board can read it without an account, and the provider says plainly what it does not do.

How it works

  • The reserve study: since P.L.2023, c.214, as amended by P.L.2025, c.132, an association with at least twenty-five thousand dollars in common-area capital assets needs a capital reserve study, including an analysis of the physical status of the common areas, conducted and reviewed at least every five years. A component-by-component walk on a cadence gives the specialist a dated history instead of one afternoon's look.
  • Structural damage: in a condominium or co-op building of concrete, masonry or steel, observable damage to the load-bearing system, foundation and attached balconies included, calls for a licensed engineer's inspection within 60 days, so a finding should reach the manager with its photo the same day.
  • Follow-through: each finding should become a work order with its photo, go to the vendor, and close only when someone checks the fix.
  • The board: one link per association, readable without an account, beats a binder put together the night before.
  • Price and fit: per-door pricing grows with every community you add and flat per-company pricing does not; ask whether it runs offline and whether your property list imports from a spreadsheet.

What it doesn't do

  • No inspection software does the structural inspection or the reserve study: the law gives those to licensed engineers and architects and credentialed reserve specialists, and Sitesui is the record between their visits, with no reserve calculations or funding plans.
  • This is a plain reading of the statute, not legal advice; your association's attorney has the final word on what applies to you.
