Bloomfield Township prohibits residential rentals under 30 days, so true STRs are banned. Where lawful longer-term rentals exist, occupants must comply with all Township noise rules and NJDEP standards (65 dBA day / 50 dBA night residential, 10pm-7am quiet hours).
Bloomfield Township Code Chapter 433 prohibits renting any residential premises (dwelling, apartment, room) for less than 30 consecutive days, except licensed hotels and motels. Because legal STRs do not exist, there is no STR-specific noise rule. For permitted rentals, tenants must comply with the Township noise ordinance (Ch. 635 / Board of Health) and the NJ Noise Control Act (NJSA 13:1G, NJAC 7:29). State residential limits are 65 dBA daytime / 50 dBA nighttime, with statewide quiet hours 10pm-7am. Violations of Ch. 433 carry up to $1,250 per day. Confirm specific dB tables with the Bloomfield Health Division at 973-680-4180.
Operating an STR under 30 days: up to $1,250 per day. Noise violations enforced separately by police/health officials, with each day a separate offense.
