Homes in Lyndhurst
Lyndhurst's housing is largely pre-1960. ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates put the median year built at 1956, with about 30% of housing units built in 1939 or earlier and about 77% before 1980. About 60% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Single-family detached houses make up about 42% of housing units, and two-unit buildings about 30%. Utility gas heats about 77% of occupied homes and electricity about 16%.
The township's Construction Department, 253 Stuyvesant Ave. (201-804-2490), posts building, electrical, plumbing, fire and mechanical permit forms, plus an application for contractor's registration and a driveway and fence application. Lyndhurst runs its own water utility: the Department of Public Works says the township buys water in bulk from the Passaic Valley Water Commission and maintains the mains and service connections, so water-service questions go to the DPW.
Flooding
Lyndhurst lies between the Passaic River on the west and the Hackensack River on the east, with Berrys Creek and Kingsland Creek in its Meadowlands section. The township's Public Works page notes 67 outfalls draining to the two rivers and a stormwater pump station. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Areas covering a large share of the township's land. To check a specific address, search it on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Permits in Lyndhurst
Building, plumbing and electrical permits come from the Township of Lyndhurst construction office. Your contractor normally pulls the permit, but it's worth confirming.
