We also had to mount it right in the kitchen - and it had to be a certain kind.

I bought and sold in North Brunswick (2 years ago) and it was not mounted for either. It just had to be in the cabinet. It must be a township thing.

I just kept mine in my pantry closet. The inspector just wanted me to have one.
Don't forget that you also need a carbon Dioxcide alarm mounted near the bedrooms. Make sure all your fences are not leaning and are firmly mounted especially if you have a pool. There also must be a railing if your deck has steps. You may have bought the house with these things missing, but now its stricter.
Make sure you have permits for a shed.
My house was sold in NJ in 2006,Manalapan Township so those are some of the things they look for.

Yep, for N Bruns it was pretty easy. the extinguisher requirement has been a requirement since 2005 (i think). When you call the town for the appt they tell you how many lbs and what type of fire extinguisher you need to have. |

In Scotch Plains, we needed to have it wall mounted, but it was in the breakfast nook area - so a bit out of the way. It was within the correct distance from the stove - and ours had to be between the stove and an exit.

I've been following this post as we have home inspection today. I ended up contacting someone from my town and was told that I need to call state of NJ Division of Fire Safety @ 609-633-6132
Hope this helps someone. I'll see what info I can find out today
