Homes in Tenafly

Tenafly's homes have a median year built of 1958. About 25% of housing units were built before 1940 and about 55% before 1960. Many renovations involve original plaster, older wiring and aging plumbing, and contractors should budget time for surprises behind walls.

The borough has about 5,420 housing units. About 72% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, and about 76% of housing units are single-family detached houses.

Utility gas heats about 86% of occupied homes, electricity about 8%, and bottled or tank gas (propane) about 4%.

All figures are ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates. UCC permits are issued by the borough's Building Department, which lists plumbing, electrical and fire subcode inspectors. The office is at 100 Riveredge Road, and its posted hours say UCC permits are issued each weekday until 3 pm.

Flooding

Tenafly is crossed by Tenakill Brook and by tributaries of Overpeck Creek, and its eastern edge is on the Hudson River. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer maps Special Flood Hazard Areas (mainly Zone AE, with some Zone A) within the borough boundary. Most of the borough lies outside these zones.

No municipal flood-information page was found on the borough website. To see the flood zone for a specific address, search it on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. If a property is in a mapped flood zone, ask the Building Department about requirements before additions or substantial renovations.

Permits in Tenafly

Building, plumbing and electrical permits come from the Borough of Tenafly construction office. Your contractor normally pulls the permit, but it's worth confirming.
