Ridgewood NJ, Attention North Jersey drivers! The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) has abruptly closed its vehicle inspection station in Lodi, Bergen County, after a serious safety incident involving falling debris from the ceiling.
The closure is temporary but indefinite, pending a full structural assessment and repair plan.
What Happened at the Lodi MVC?
On October 23, inspection staff reported large pieces of debris falling inside the facility. An immediate investigation revealed a severe structural issue:
- Structural Failure: The supporting structure of the building’s concrete roof planks had shifted.
- Safety Hazard: This shifting caused several heavy planks, each weighing hundreds of pounds, to come loose from their bearing points.
“The MVC decided, for the sake of customer and staff safety, to suspend inspection operations and close the Lodi facility until a qualified engineering firm could complete an assessment and develop a repair plan,” confirmed William Connolly, press secretary for the MVC.
The agency is prioritizing safety and is currently awaiting a full engineering evaluation to determine the extent of the damage and the timeline for reopening the Lodi inspection station. Updates will be provided once a finalized repair schedule is established.

“The closure is temporary but indefinite” (new government phrase)
LOL
Who was the original builder?
all contracts for public owned projects are required to use M/WBE,
minority and women owned business (competence is NOT a requirement) subcontractors.
Use someone incompetent for paint and landscape but not the *#)$ roof
I thought that place was an immigration office.
