Homes in South Hackensack
South Hackensack is a small, largely commercial and industrial township. It has only about 950 housing units, so its ACS estimates carry wide margins of error.
The median year built is 1968, later than in most nearby towns. About 32% of units were built before 1960 and about 24% in 2000 or later. Single-family detached homes make up 50% of units, two-unit buildings about 31%, and single-family attached homes about 13%. About 50% of occupied units are owner-occupied.
Utility gas heats 88% of occupied homes. Fuel oil heats about 4% and electricity about 6%.
Building, plumbing and electrical permits go through the Township's Construction Office, listed in the township directory, under the NJ Uniform Construction Code. The directory lists a Construction Code Official, a zoning officer and a technical assistant for the office.
Flooding
South Hackensack lies along the Hackensack River. FEMA's Flood Insurance Study says that part of the township's southern parcel is "partially protected from tidal flooding from the Hackensack River and Losen Slote by a discontinuous dike, which does allow some flooding". The study also notes a township pumping station at Route 46 and Huyler Street.
The National Flood Hazard Layer maps Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zone AE) within the township. To check whether a specific address is in a mapped flood zone, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
