Kitchen sink
Operative Text
Every dwelling unit shall contain in every kitchen a kitchen sink in good working condition and properly connected to a water supply system which is approved by the director of health, and which provides at all times an adequate amount of heated and unheated running water under pressure and which is connected to a sewer system approved by the director of health.
Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. VII § 12-47 requires that every dwelling unit's kitchen include a sink that is in good working order, connected to an approved water supply delivering both hot and cold running water under pressure at all times, and tied into an approved sewer system. The rule sets a baseline habitability standard for kitchen plumbing, ensuring residents have continuous access to functional running water. Both the water supply and sewer connections must meet the approval of the local director of health.

Under Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. VII § 12-47, compliant property operators ensure that every kitchen sink is fully functional, free of defects, and continuously supplied with both hot and cold pressurized water. Operators also verify that all plumbing connections—on both the supply and drainage sides—carry the approval of the director of health. Routine maintenance inspections help confirm that these conditions remain met throughout a tenancy, not just at move-in.

If a kitchen sink is broken, lacks adequate water pressure, or loses hot water, that condition may constitute a violation of this provision.
