An apartment complex which is required to install a video surveillance system may, on an annual basis, apply to the Division of Building, Zoning and Housing for an exemption from the provisions of this chapter. The Division of Building, Zoning and Housing may exempt an apartment complex for a period of twelve (12) months if the Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee finds that the apartment complex has or will undertake alternate security procedures which are substantially equal to or more effective in preventing public nuisance, peace disturbance, and criminal activity for the protection of residents, employees and the community. The Commissioner may also authorize alternate procedures on an experimental basis. Such an exemption shall carry a maximum duration of twelve (12) months, and an owner or management must reapply for an exemption at the end of the exemption period or bring the system into conformance with this chapter. The Commissioner may also authorize temporary extensions of time for installation when an apartment complex owner or management demonstrates that it is temporarily unable to comply for good cause shown.
