The Bayonne Health Division would like to remind property owners that Bayonne Health Regulations Chapter 21-11.1 requires them to furnish heat at a minimum of 68 degrees Fahrenheit during the period from October 1, 2023 to May 1, 2024.

The Health Division would also like to remind property owners that Bayonne Health Regulations Chapter 21-13.1 requires them to provide an adequate supply of running hot water at a minimum temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit 24 hours per day, seven days a week.

The City of Bayonne has regulations about heat and hot water, in order to provide for the health and comfort of the city’s residents and workers.  The City of Bayonne also requires that hot water be available for sanitary reasons throughout the year.  The only exceptions allowed are cases in which mutual, written agreements exist to vary from the legal requirements. The City of Bayonne has the authority to enforce the regulations.  Property owners and employers who violate the regulations are subject to fines.  The Health Division urges all of those responsible for residences and workplaces to ensure that they are in compliance with all relevant regulations.
