Residential building, plumbing and electrical permits are issued by the Waldwick Building Department (official page). The department's page notes that a Certificate of Compliance inspection of smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and a portable fire extinguisher is required before a home is sold, transferred or rented.
Flooding
Waldwick's mapped flood hazards follow Ho-Ho-Kus Brook, the Saddle River and Allendale Brook. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows these streams in the borough, and its flood hazard zones layer shows Special Flood Hazard Area Zone AE, including regulatory floodway, inside borough limits. Zone AE is FEMA's 1% annual-chance (100-year) flood zone, and homes in high-risk zones with mortgages from federally regulated or insured lenders must carry flood insurance (summarized on a neighboring Bergen County borough's flood page). To check a specific address, search it on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Permits in Waldwick
Building, plumbing and electrical permits come from the Borough of Waldwick construction office. Your contractor normally pulls the permit, but it's worth confirming.
