Despite the exclamation marks, this policy is not new. The town has just decided that it's time to be stricter at enforcement. All towns require some form of certification of occupancy. In Bloomfield, it has tended to be a drive by of a code enforcer or spot checks by fire code inspectors for smoke/carbon monoxide detectors.
They can now inspect for an array of issues including basement bedrooms and permits for improvements. The fees for a cco can vary:
Type Fee
Single-family residential dwelling $125
Two-family residential dwelling $185
Three-family residential dwelling $280
Each additional dwelling unit $95 (not to exceed $1,000 in total)
Commercial and manufacturing buildings:
Buildings up to 5,000 square feet $315
Buildings from 5,001 to 20,000 square feet $625
Buildings from 20,001 to 50,000 square feet $935
Buildings over to 50,001 square feet $1,250
