Tenant-occupied units define storm replacement on East Orange's rental stock, because exposed roof areas admit rain into occupied apartments and create habitability and liability exposure for the landlord.

Layered flat-roof systems on pre-war walk-ups complicate the tear-off, as the NJ Rehabilitation Subcode needs wraps up removal of the in-place covering when the roof is water-soaked or already carries two or more applications, per N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4. Interior damage lags the roof damage, and water entering through wind-lifted seams saturates insulation far from any visible opening.

Hidden deck damage surfaces only when tear-off exposes the sheathing and framing beneath the storm-damaged covering.
