It’s not being used as a school in the sense of the word that they’re using, it’s a post-EY Yeshiva. It’s more like a Shul than a school..

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Toms River. Bring the stamped permit and 6 points of ID and proof of address. The printed permit does not count for anything.

This property actually has some sort of old zoning option allowing schools. I don’t know exact details but there was serious legal review before they moved in and my understanding is that he only purchased the property due this zoning provision. Its obvious not a clear cut matter though.

As far as the dorm. Its for post ey so the boys are much older, aka its not legally a dorm rather there are more people living there then allowed per the CO. I don’t know how townships deal with homes when there are more than 3.7 adults which violates the occupancy limit.

I would imagine that a dorm isn't included in the provision either. Either way, how does ignoring the township endear you upon anyone. At the very least, the way this played out is very bad PR.
