Under Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art.

Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. VII § 12-43 gives occupants a basis to expect that all plumbing fixtures and pipes in their dwelling unit are properly installed, free from defects and leaks, and capable of serving the unit's permitted occupancy. If plumbing conditions fall short of these standards, tenants may have options such as notifying the landlord in writing, filing a complaint with the local housing or code enforcement office, or consulting a tenant-rights organization to understand available remedies. Documenting the condition with photographs and written communications can be useful when pursuing any of these general paths.
