Summary

Every short-term rental in the City of Bayonne must post the maximum number of on-site parking spaces available to guests inside the unit, and the Division of Planning, Zoning, and Development can revoke the permit once two substantiated complaints about excessive guest vehicles come in.

The owner of a STRP shall post the following information in a prominent location within the STR: ... The maximum number of parking spaces available for STR use on-site; ... In the event that the City receives two substantiated complaints concerning excessive vehicles belonging to the transient occupants of a STRP, the short-term rental permit for the property is subject to revocation by the Director of the Division of Planning, Zoning, and Development or his/her designee or the Business Administrator or his/her designee.

Full Breakdown

Bayonne's short-term rental ordinance, added by Ord. No. O-24-12 and amended by Ord. No. O-24-37, requires the STRP owner to post several disclosures in a prominent location inside the rental, including the maximum number of parking spaces available for STR use on-site (City Code § 33-20.6.e.4). Posting inaccurate information is itself a separate violation of the article under § 33-20.6.f. Parking is also enforced through the complaint pipeline: under § 33-20.6.j, if the City's Department of Public Safety or the Department of Planning, Zoning, and Development receives two substantiated complaints concerning excessive vehicles belonging to a rental's transient occupants, the Director of the Division of Planning, Zoning, and Development or the Business Administrator (or either one's designee) may revoke the STR permit for the property outright.

That is a lower bar than the general three-strikes revocation standard in § 33-20.6.i, showing the City treats guest overflow parking as its own enforcement trigger. An owner who receives a written revocation notice under § 33-20.6.j.1 has 30 calendar days to appeal in writing to the Office of the Business Administrator and the Division of Zoning, and the Business Administrator decides the appeal within 30 more calendar days.

Violations & Fines

A violation of the short-term rental article, including posting a false parking-space count, subjects the owner, agent, or responsible party to Municipal Court fines up to $2,000 per violation and not less than $100 per violation per day the violation continues, under § 33-20.7.a. Parties get 30 calendar days to cure and may request a hearing before a Bayonne Municipal Court Judge under § 33-20.7.b before the fine is imposed.
