For the fourth time since Hotel LBI opened its doors in the spring of 2019, Baldwin Residence LLC, which owns and operates the resort, has been granted an extension of its temporary certificate of occupancy as a lengthy court proceeding closes in on year two.

At the March 9 status conference, Ocean County Superior Court Judge Marlene L. Ford ordered the hotel’s temporary CO to be extended through July 7. She also ordered a status conference on the legal proceedings to be held May 20.
