Bloomfield, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 § 12-44
Water closets
Operative Text
Within every dwelling unit, there shall be a non-habitable room which affords privacy to a person within said room and which is equipped with a flush water closet in good working condition. Said flush water closet shall be equipped with easily cleanable surfaces, be properly connected to a water system that at all times provides an adequate amount of running water under pressure to cause the water closet to be operated properly and shall be properly connected to a sewer system which is approved by the director of health.
Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. VII § 12-44 requires that every dwelling unit contain a private, non-habitable room with a flush toilet in good working condition. The toilet must have easily cleanable surfaces, be connected to a pressurized water supply sufficient to operate it properly, and be connected to a health-department-approved sewer system. This rule establishes a baseline sanitation standard that applies to all dwelling units within the jurisdiction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. VII § 12-44, compliant property operators maintain a dedicated, private bathroom space in each dwelling unit that is separate from any habitable living area. Operators generally ensure the flush toilet has cleanable surfaces, remains in good working order, and stays connected to both an adequate pressurized water supply and an approved sewer system. Routine inspections and prompt repairs to plumbing fixtures and connections are consistent with meeting this standard.

Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. VII § 12-44 gives occupants of every dwelling unit the right to a private room with a properly functioning flush toilet connected to approved water and sewer systems. If a toilet is broken, lacks adequate water pressure, or is connected to an unapproved sewer system, that condition may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants who believe this standard is not being met can document the issue, notify their landlord in writing, and consider reaching out to Bloomfield's director of health or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available remedies.
