Perth Amboy Ord. 2169-2024 caps each dwelling unit at three short-term rental contracts and restricts STRs to owner-occupied principal residences or HOA/condo units allowed by association rules. NJ UCC habitable-room sizing applies (≥70 sqft, +50 sqft per added occupant).
Ordinance 2169-2024 limits each dwelling unit to three short-term rental contracts (period to be confirmed with Code Enforcement) and only permits STRs in: (1) condo/HOA/co-op units where the association's governing documents allow STRs and the owner uses the unit as his/her principal residence, or (2) individually or collectively owner-occupied single-family residences. Per-unit guest counts are not stated as a fixed number in the ordinance text reviewed; the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (NJAC 5:23) and the IPMC sets the controlling habitable-space rule of at least 70 square feet for the first occupant of a habitable room and an additional 50 square feet for each additional occupant. Owners must obtain an STR permit ($250 initial, $200 renewal) before listing or advertising. Confirm the maximum simultaneous occupancy and contract-period definition with Perth Amboy Code Enforcement at (732) 826-0290.
$100 minimum per violation per day, up to $2,000 per violation under Ord. 2169-2024. Permit denial, suspension, or revocation. Operating without a permit is itself a violation.
