Septic Systems will affect your Home Sale or Purchase

Current septic system (underground disposal systems) laws were adopted in 1991.

Therefore, if your septic system is older than that and you are trying to sell your house or buy a new one with an older system, it will not meet the current codes?

Hire CREST to conduct a Septic system inspection and make recommendations for expansion or replacement.

Do You Need a Plot Plan for an Addition?

If you wish to put an addition on your home that you WILL need a plot plan. What is a plot plan, it is a plan for your plot of land!

A plot plan is a small site plan of your lot showing what physical features are on your lot. An engineer will add the proposed addition based upon a plan by an architect. The way the lands slopes are shown. Modifications may need to be made to provide proper drainage. Dimensions to the property lines are shown to make sure the addition is not too close to the property line.

This plan is submitted with your architectural plans for a building permit. Hire CREST to prepare your plot plan.

NJ’s Coastal Permitting Program – Buy, Build or Add On?

Are you considering buying property near tidal water? Building a waterfront home, a retail center, or marina? Do you want to put in a bulkhead or a dock? Or maybe an addition to an existing house in a coastal town? In each of these cases, New Jersey’s coastal permitting program may affect where and whether you buy, build, or add on.

New Jersey protect coastal water and the land adjacent to them under a variety of laws including the Waterfront Development Law (N.J.S.A. 12:5-3), the Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA N.J.S.A. 13:19), and the Wetlands Act of 1970 (N.J. S.A. 13:9A)

Crest Engineering can help navigate New Jersey’s extensive Coastal regulations to obtain the proper permits for your proposed projects

Location, Location, Location…remember to check the zoning first.

If you are looking for a home for your business and you find the perfect location, you need to check the zoning to see if your business is permitted.

Many towns require a cert of occupancy for a tenant or a new owner.

Is the new Use for the location permitted in your town? if not you may need a use variance. Is there adequate parking? If not, you may need a minor site plan.

Before you lease, buy, hire CREST to conduct a regulatory investigation.

A good referral is Realtor or Land Use Attorney.

Buyer Beware

New Jersey has a buyer beware policy – it is up to the buyer to determine if there are issues, i.e. due diligence, home inspections, etc.

    • When purchasing a piece of property you also buy the liability of any contamination
    • Phase one environmental audit
    • Non invasive audit of published data and a site visit to determine if there is a possibility of contamination from: 
        • Asbestos
        • Lead paint
        • Historic pesticides
      • Fuel tanks
  • Banks usually require same for purchase of commercial property
