The mission of the organization shall be to represent our dues paying tenant members who reside at 515 Mt. Prospect Avenue and 555 Mt. Prospect Avenue in the City of Newark, New Jersey.

   Our primary goal is to improve the safety and quality of life of our buildings and our immediate neighborhood. We will strive to build a sense of community pride. We will strive to make our buildings safe, clean, quiet, and economically stable. We want our building to remain attractive to hard working families, professionals and retirees.

   We seek at all times to conduct ourselves in a professional manner and we seek to create a working relationship with management in order to guarantee our tenant members rights and assure a positive quality of life.

   We will provide members with a basic education and guidance about their tenant’s rights and responsibilities.

   We seek to educate our dues paying tenant members on their rights and privileges as established by New Jersey statutes and Newark Municipal ordinances.

   We will maintain a working relationship with our local elected and appointed officials in requesting changes to city ordinances which better preserve the rights of tenants in the city of Newark.

   We will work tirelessly to weed out code violations, criminal elements, drug activity, gang related activity or any negative aspect that affect our positive quality of life.

   As members of the New Jersey Tenants Organization we may at times engage in litigation on behalf of the tenants.
