Bayonne — The Bayonne Rent Control Board approved a set of landlord improvement resolutions by mass vote during a public hearing on Dec. 16, 2025, then moved to adjourn.
Salvador Clapsy, sitting in for the chairperson, opened the meeting and said the board was following state sunshine/open-meetings requirements and that the session was being recorded. "The rent board complies with the sunshine law of the state of New Jersey," Clapsy said, and he explained that items read aloud that evening had been reviewed individually and were being handled via a mass vote unless a speaker requested separate consideration. "No application will be heard once the board members have voted and the public hearing is closed," he added.
Clapsy read resolutions for a major capital improvement at 233 Avenue E listing Giuseppe Calabrio, Domenico Calabrio and Clementia Paladine, and for an individual rent‑unit improvement at 32 West 18th Street, Apartment 2, Project 2, applicant Maria Flora. After a motion to approve the listed resolutions was made and seconded, board members present — Salvador Clapsy, Board Member Prieto and Board Member Tina Siciano — each voiced approval and the mass vote carried.
Later in the meeting an oral motion to adjourn was made, seconded and approved by the same members present. The meeting was recorded as adjourned at 7:07 p.m.
The session recorded no extended public comment or substantive debate on the applications read that evening. The board also listed the approval of its meeting schedule on the agenda; the transcript records that item being read but does not include separate discussion or a distinct recorded vote for the schedule beyond the mass-vote action. Any item stricken from the mass vote for separate hearing would have been identified when the address was read; the transcript contains no instance of an address being stricken.
