Homes in Harrington Park
Harrington Park is mostly owner-occupied single-family houses. ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates put the median year built at 1962 (±5 years). The age mix is wide. About 23% of housing units were built before 1940 and another quarter in the 1940s–50s, while about 34% date from the 1960s and 1970s. Roughly 14% were built in 1990 or later. About 90% of the borough's roughly 1,820 units are single-family detached houses, and about 92% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Utility gas is the main heating fuel in about 88% of occupied homes and electricity in about 10%. Fuel oil is reported for about 21 homes, but the margin of error (±31) is larger than the estimate. The Building Department lists separate inspection hours for each subcode, such as building, electrical and plumbing.
Flooding
Harrington Park borders the Oradell Reservoir on the Hackensack River. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows Special Flood Hazard Areas (mostly Zone AE) in the borough. The mapped streams include Dorotockeys Run, Blanch Brook, Tappan Run, the Hackensack River and the reservoir shoreline. Low-lying lots near these streams may be in a mapped floodplain. Higher ground away from them is generally outside it. We did not find a dedicated flood page on the borough website. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Permits in Harrington Park
Building, plumbing and electrical permits come from the Borough of Harrington Park construction office. Your contractor normally pulls the permit, but it's worth confirming.
