Homes in Lodi
Lodi's housing is mostly multi-unit. The median year built is 1958, and about 54% of units were built before 1960. Owners occupy 42% of occupied units, so many homes are rented.
The most common building type is the two-unit structure, at 40% of housing units. Single-family detached homes make up 23%, buildings with 3 or 4 units 12%, and buildings with 5 or more units about 18%.
Utility gas heats 70% of occupied homes. Electricity heats about 20%, a higher share than in many neighboring towns, and fuel oil about 5%.
Building, plumbing and electrical permits are issued by the Borough Building Department under the NJ Uniform Construction Code. The office is in Room 204 of the municipal building and is open 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM on weekdays.
Flooding
The Saddle River runs through the middle of Lodi; a NJ Office of Emergency Management case study notes it "divides the Borough" and is crossed by four bridges. The study describes floods in 1977 and during Hurricane Floyd in 1999, when all four bridges were under water. It also covers buyouts of flood-damaged homes, whose land became Voto Tedesco Park.
FEMA's Flood Insurance Study records channel improvements on the Saddle River and Lodi Creek. The National Flood Hazard Layer maps Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zone AE) within the borough. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Permits in Lodi
Building, plumbing and electrical permits come from the Borough of Lodi construction office. Your contractor normally pulls the permit, but it's worth confirming.
