Weehawken's elevation, its claims and its split stock
A USGS elevation query on Boulevard East in Weehawken returns 174.4 feet. Of the township's 114 flood insurance claims on record, 88 came from Hurricane Sandy alone, accounting for about 7.5 million of the 8.5 million dollars ever paid there.

Weehawken's annex identifies its two repetitive loss properties as being in the southwest part of the township, in the area known as the Shades, and notes that the township lacks a stand alone stormwater ordinance. Its three combined sewer outfalls all belong to the North Hudson Sewerage Authority Adams Street plant.

Weehawken's median housing unit was built in 1965, but 37.9 percent of its 9,563 units date from 1939 or earlier and 35.4 percent from 2000 or later. 38.0 percent sit in buildings of fifty units or more, the highest share in the county outside Jersey City's waterfront.

The New Jersey Condominium Act defines common elements to include, as to any improvement, the foundations, structural and bearing parts, supports, main walls, roofs, basements, halls, corridors, lobbies, stairways, elevators, entrances and exits, excluding anything specifically reserved or limited to a particular unit. Limited common elements are those common elements reserved for the use of one or more specified units.

Why one Weehawken report cannot cover both halves
Weehawken is two townships sharing a tax bill, and an inspection is where that stops being a talking point. USGS returns 174.4 feet on Boulevard East, while the township's two repetitive loss properties both sit in the southwest, in the area known as the Shades at the foot of the hill. Of the 114 flood insurance claims ever recorded here, 88 came from Hurricane Sandy alone, accounting for about 7.5 million of the 8.5 million dollars ever paid. A report that describes Weehawken rather than your address has told you nothing you can use.
Prewar house or waterfront tower: what gets opened
Weigh the building type before the elevation, because the two do not line up here. 37.9 percent of Weehawken's 9,563 units date from 1939 or earlier, 35.4 percent from 2000 or later, and 38 percent sit in buildings of fifty units or more. In the prewar houses the search runs behind plaster, along a party wall and under a tile bed, and the wall is yours. In the towers it runs at window perimeters, terrace details and risers, and the Condominium Act makes foundations, main walls, roofs and basements common elements, so the finding has to be addressed to whoever owns the repair as well as to you.
Whether you are at the top of the cliff or the bottom
Boulevard East reads 174.4 feet. 88 of the township's 114 claims came from one night in 2012, about 7.5 million of the 8.5 million dollars ever paid here.
Whether the township has already recorded your area
Both repetitive loss properties are in the southwest, in the Shades, and the township has no stand alone stormwater ordinance. That belongs in a report on a Shades property.
Who the finding has to convince
The Condominium Act makes foundations, main walls, roofs and basements common elements. In a fifty unit building the report is being written for the association as much as for you.
Which end of the hill are you on?
One answer changes what a visit measures. Send the street and we will say what it would look at.
After a Weehawken finding: removal and drying
Weehawken owners ask this before booking a visit
Nothing has flooded here since 2012. Is there anything left to find?
Often yes, and usually not flooding. 88 of the township's 114 flood insurance claims came from that single night, which means the rest of the record is thin and ordinary. Seepage through an old hillside wall, a facade path, a failing gutter and condensation on a cold surface produce no claims at all and produce plenty of mold, and they are what a visit here is generally looking for.
We are in the Shades. Does that change what gets checked?
It does. The township's annex places both of its repetitive loss properties in the southwest, in the Shades, and notes that Weehawken lacks a stand alone stormwater ordinance. At the foot of the hill the readings that matter are at the base of walls, into the subfloor and around any drain, and the report should say plainly whether water is arriving from the ground or from above.
Send the street, not the township
A Weehawken address answers most of this before anybody has to visit.
