Chimneys and homes in the 201 area
The 201/551 territory covers Bergen and Hudson counties in northeastern New Jersey (with the 551 overlay), from Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne and Union City on the Hudson River to Hackensack, Fort Lee, Teaneck, Paramus and Ridgewood. It is an old housing stock: of about 582,000 homes and apartments, roughly 70% were built before 1980 and 26% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1960s. About 31% are single-family detached houses.
Jersey City is the second most populous city in New Jersey, after Newark, and the seat of Hudson County. It had 292,449 people at the 2020 census, up 18.1% from 2010, and more than 40 languages are spoken in over half of its households.
Winters are moderate. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Newark Liberty International Airport, NJ show about 4,701 heating degree days a year, a January average of 32.8°F, and about 31.5 inches of snow. Rain and the occasional freeze still work on brick and mortar over the years, so a cracked crown or a missing cap is worth fixing early.
Census figures put utility gas as the main heating fuel in about 72% of occupied homes and electricity in about 20%. Wood is the main heat in fewer than 2 in 100 homes, so most fireplaces here are for cool evenings, and gas fireplaces and inserts are common. The area falls in IECC climate zone 5A (51%), 4A (49%). Whatever the fuel, NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents, calls for a yearly inspection.
