Are basement egress windows required in New Jersey?

Currently New Jersey building codes only require that egress windows be installed in basement bedrooms — so if you’re hoping to add an in-law suite or give your teen their own space, they’re a must.

Nonetheless, we consider egress window wells essential for any finished basement — not only for a safe route of egress (escape) in the event of an emergency, but also because they allow for natural light and ventilation that would be impossible to achieve otherwise.
