(b) An owner or owners of a multiple apartment development who files a report more than 30 calendar days after the time for filing reports set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:10-2.4, but not later than 60 calendar days after such time for filing, shall be subject to a penalty for late filing of $ 250.00.

(c) An owner or owners of a multiple apartment development who files a report more than 60 calendar days after the time for filing reports set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:10-2.4, but not later than 90 calendar days after such time for filing, shall be subject to a penalty for late filing of $ 500.00.

(d) An owner or owners of a multiple apartment development who files a report more than 90 calendar days after the time for filing reports set forth in 13:10-2.4 shall be subject to a penalty in an amount designated by the Director of the Division on Civil Rights pursuant to 10:5-14.1a.

(e) Payment of the fees under (a), (b) and (c) above shall be transmitted in the form of a check made payable to "Treasurer--State of New Jersey."

(f) The Director of the Division on Civil Rights may, in his or her discretion, waive all or part of the penalties incurred with the late filing of a report or reports for good cause shown, so long as such waiver would not compromise the purpose of the reports as set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:10-2.1. An owner of a multiple apartment development may apply to the Director of the Division on Civil Rights for a waiver or relaxation of the penalties incurred because of the late filing or failure to file a report or reports. Such request shall be made in writing, and shall set forth, with specificity, the owner's reasons for late filing or failure to file. If applicable, documentation supporting the request should be included. The Director may consider such factors as the owner's previous filing history, the owner's promptness in filing the report upon notice of delinquency, DCR resources expended on addressing the delinquency, and any exceptional circumstances related to the delinquency (which may include an owner's undue hardship, economic or otherwise).
