Just found the news article about it from 2011: https://www.nj.com/hudson/2011/01/city_of_jersey_city_encouragin.html

>Current zoning rules permit residents to keep fewer than 50 chickens no less than 25 feet away from any structure used for human habitation.

>Although it's one "one of the most lenient chicken laws" in the state, according to Marione-Stanton, the city wants to make it even easier to keep and raise the little cluckers.

>The proposed revision would allow residents to keep one to seven chickens within 25 feet of a neighbor's property as long as the neighbor signs an affidavit of consent. Anyone wishing to house eight to 20 chickens would have to keep them 40 feet away from neighbors.

I don't know if the laws have been updated or if this was passed but I would assume it did if the coop behind Lo-Fi is able to operate.
