Illegal Living Space in the Long Beach Island NJ Real Estate Market
Long Beach Island Real Estate Illegal Living Space
Since Hurricane Sandy impacted Long Beach Island at the end of 2012, there has been a considerable amount of new construction taking place. While the advantages of building a new home are indisputable, several local codes must be followed. One of the most significant (and tempting to ignore) is the building of Illegal Space in the LBI Real Estate Market. First, some background:
- All homes have a base flood elevation associated with them
- Building codes vary but generally state your first floor has to be at least 1-3 feet above this base flood elevation.
- Building living space below base flood elevation is not permitted
- Many towns on Long Beach Island require a particular deed restriction to be filed stating that no living space will be developed below base flood elevation
