Homes in Wyckoff

Wyckoff is almost entirely owner-occupied single-family homes. About 87% of its roughly 6,200 housing units are single-family detached (ACS 2020-2024, B25024), and about 93% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (B25003). The median building dates to 1965. About 71% of units were built before 1980, and 13% before 1940 (B25035, B25034). Utility gas heats 91% of occupied homes, and fuel oil heats about 3%.

Remodeling, additions and system replacements on mid-century houses are common projects here. For homes built before 1978, anyone paid to do work that disturbs paint must be EPA lead-safe certified. The building department has electrical, plumbing and fire subcode officials and a permit look-up portal. It also handles stormwater management approvals, which can apply to additions and new impervious surfaces.

Flooding

Wyckoff has limited mapped flood risk. The county hazard mitigation plan puts 2.68% of the township's land in the 1% annual-chance floodplain and 1.73% in the 0.2% floodplain. It lists 28 active NFIP policies as of October 2024 (Bergen County HMP). The township's stormwater page describes a watershed improvement plan meant partly to address stormwater flooding. No township flood-map page was found. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.

Permits in Wyckoff

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