Piscataway, NJ Short-Term Rentals: Noise Rules (2026)

Section 15-7.e requires transient occupants of a short-term rental to comply with every Township ordinance, expressly including those regulating noise and nuisance conduct. Failure to comply exposes the transient occupants themselves, the STRP owner, the responsible party, and the listed short-term rental agent to fines and penalties, and can lead the Business Administrator to revoke or suspend the STR permit outright. That operational duty is reinforced at the renewal stage: § 15-4.a.2 requires that, for existing short-term rentals, the applicant have no violations of the Township's Noise Ordinance within the preceding two years, where a qualifying violation is one documented by the Piscataway Municipal Court.

Section 15-4.a.1 adds a related complaint-based bar, denying renewal where police have been called to the property more than twice for any type of complaint in the same two-year window. Owners must also post emergency and enforcement contact numbers, including the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Planning and Engineering's Office of Inspections and Enforcement, inside the rental under § 15-7.f.3, and the owner, agent or responsible party must be reachable 24/7 to respond within two hours to nuisance complaints under § 15-7.h.
