Bathing facilities
Operative Text
Within every dwelling unit there shall be a room which affords privacy to a person within said room and which is equipped with a bathtub or shower in good working condition. Said bathtub or shower may be in the same room as the flush water closet or in another room and shall be properly connected to a water supply system which is approved by the director of health, and which provides at all times an adequate amount of heated and unheated water under pressure and which is connected to a sewer system approved by the director of health. Water inlets for bathtubs shall be located above the overflow rim of these facilities.
Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. VII § 12-46 requires that every dwelling unit contain a private room with a functioning bathtub or shower. The fixture must be connected to an approved water supply that delivers both hot and cold water under pressure at all times, and must also be connected to an approved sewer system. Water inlets for bathtubs must be positioned above the overflow rim to meet the standard.

Under Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. VII § 12-46, compliant property operators ensure that each dwelling unit contains a private bathroom space equipped with a bathtub or shower that is in good working order. Operators generally maintain connections to water supply and sewer systems that carry approval from the director of health, and verify that hot and cold water are available under adequate pressure at all times. Routine inspections of bathtub water inlet placement — confirming they sit above the overflow rim — are part of keeping the unit in compliance.

Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. VII § 12-46 gives occupants the right to a private room with a working bathtub or shower supplied with both heated and unheated water under pressure through an approved system. If a bathtub or shower is broken, lacks adequate water pressure, or the water supply or sewer connection is not properly maintained, that may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants who believe their unit falls short of this standard can document the condition, notify their landlord in writing, and explore options such as filing a complaint with the Bloomfield health or housing authority or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance.
