Portside Towers Sues Jersey City Over Utility Rules

Portside Towers is suing Jersey City over new utility ordinances they call “particularly improper,” arguing the rules unfairly burden multi-family landlords by forcing them to absorb rising water and sewer costs without passing them on to tenants. The city claims the rules ensure fair billing, but Portside says they were pushed by activists with their own legal battles and ignored input from property owners. The lawsuit warns of massive penalties — up to $2,000 per unit monthly — and claims the rules retroactively violate federal and state law by affecting existing leases.
