Homes in Maywood

Maywood has an older, mostly single-family housing stock. The median year built is 1951. About 71% of units were built before 1960 and 26% before 1940; only about 5% date from 2000 or later.

Single-family detached houses make up 68% of housing units. Two-unit buildings account for about 12% and 3- or 4-unit buildings about 11%. Owners occupy 69% of occupied units.

Utility gas heats 78% of occupied homes, electricity about 13%, and fuel oil about 6%. That fuel-oil share is among the higher ones in this part of Bergen County.

Building, plumbing and electrical permits are issued by the Borough Building Department under the NJ Uniform Construction Code. Its page links to an online permit portal. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and is closed on Fridays.

Flooding

FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer maps only limited Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zones A and AE) within Maywood. Most of the borough lies outside mapped flood zones. Maywood is a participating community in the county Flood Insurance Study. No municipal flood-information page was found; the OEM page has no flood content. Even outside a mapped zone, check your specific address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
