Every hiring decision shapes the skill level and economic health of the community where your property sits, which ultimately determines what buyers will pay for your house.
Ridgewood NJ, while we are glad to see the state of New Jersey lesson the regulatory bite and we have extreme doubts as to the net effect on any decrease in safety ie the Avolon Housing Complex fire , the fact remains that the Village will lose revenue by a state law no longer requiring permits for roofing, sheet rock, some plumbing, chimney liners.
During tonight’s budget hearing, and in response to a taxpayer’s question, Village Manager Heather Mailander repeated what Village Council members were told during last week’s budget hearing – It is estimated that changes to the NJ State Laws regarding building permitting requirements (permits no longer needed for roofing, sheet rock, some plumbing, chimney liners, etc.) could result in a $35k-$45k revenue drop to the Village’s building department. The estimate is based on an absence in 2018 of the same number & type of permits applied for in 2017

THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — Congregants from the World Mission Society Church of God are seeking retroactive approval from the Planning Board for work performed on the grounds of its church four years ago.
A lawyer and engineer representing the religious group appeared before Ridgewood’s Planning Board on Tuesday night requesting the permits the Godwin Avenue religious institution needs for work that was done in 2011.
The unauthorized work was detected by village officials during an inspection of the Church of God site, and included re-striping of parking spots, installation of solar-powered light fixtures, and the addition of pavement and retaining walls.
Complaints from neighbors about traffic to the church and allegations regarding after-hours operations prompted the inspection, officials said.
