Mary Krugman just sent some info on New Jersey Code. I'll give you my understanding of the background on the new sub code. New Jersey has a statewide uniform construction code that is modeled on BOCA(http://www.bocai.org/) code and is administered by the Department of Community Affairs(http://www.state.nj.us/dca/dcahome.htm). Realizing that the construction code, while suitable for new construction, often contained requirements that were destructive to important elements of historic properties the DCA attempted to develop a subcode that could be used with historic property. As Mary said it was introduced in 1998. There doesn't seem to be anything on-line but below is the address and phone number I got from the web site. They produced a helpful guide to the subcode that you may want to see. You might also find information at the International Code Council web site(http://www.intlcode.org/).
