Mayor Healy  & City Officials to
Break Ground on 100 Steps Project
to Link Jersey City Heights to Hoboken
 

Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy, members of the Municipal Council, and other city officials will break ground at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 18th, 2013, on the 100 Steps Project, at the foot of Mountain Road and Paterson Plank Road.

The 100 Steps project is a restoration of the original “Franklin Street Steps” which were built more than a century ago and torn down in the 1990s.

The new project will be a structural steel stairway descending from Franklin Street to Mountain Road at 100 Paterson Plank road, where the Cliffs Condominium complex is located. The Riverview Neighborhood Association was a key advocate for the project.

“The new stairs will provide easier access between the Jersey City Heights and the Hoboken Light Rail Station,” said Mayor Healy. “We are pleased to break ground on this project and hope to have the stairs open to the public by the early fall.”

Want To Know What Ordinance Your

Look No Further, My
Friend, The Municipal
Code Has The Answers!
The Jersey City Municipal
Code
 (Code) is a compilation
of local laws and legislation adopted by
the governing body of the City.

Over the long course of Jersey City’s history,
the Code has required constant updates,
which are currently being done by the Muni-
cipal Code Corporation.

Extremely user friendly, the Code is organized
alphabetically by subject. It outlines the duties
and responsibilities of all those who live, work,
visit, conduct business and/or provide services
in Jersey City. 

And the noise ordinance, by the way,  is #222
on the Hit Parade! The Snow Removal ordin-
ance is Section 296-1.1 of the City Code. 

Reval Update - Where Are The Reval Inspectors
Now?
2011 11 28 Reval Button 90Identify Your Reval Inspector!
All data collectors for Realty Appraisal
Company, which is conducting the city-
wide property revaluation, carry two forms
of identification. One is a Realty Appraisal
Company Photo ID and the other is a letter signed
by the Tax Assessor. They are all registered with
the Jersey City Police Department.

No data collector will take any photographs inside
the home EVER. Most of the work is done Monday
through Saturday, though a few data collectors do
work on Sunday. If you have any doubts about the
data collector, do not allow them admittance and call
911 immediately.

 Official Government Facebook Page or by

cerns about the inspectors should not hesitate to call
the City's Reval Hotline at 201-547-4538.

Has Your Property Been The Victim Of Graffiti?
Historic House Vandalized buttonThe JCIA Can Help Homeowners
Remove Tags & Repaint!
Many homeowners believe that if their
private property has been tagged or
disfigured by graffiti vandals, it's up to
them to remove it. Depending on how
hard that is, residents may just want to
paint over it themselves. But if it's a
persistent or really large example of
someone's "self expression," the Jersey
City Incinerator Authority will come out and repair the
damage for you. Just sign & send in the JCIA waiver 
and provide the paint, if the building needs to be power
washed. Note: Residents should take photos of the tags
and send them to their local police district with the date
and time the vandals struck. If the culprits are caught,
they could be charged with earlier acts of vandalism.

Abandoned Properties List Published,
Placing Delinquent Owners On Notice!
The city’s worst abandoned properties are now on
public record! Lists of vacant buildings are now published
in the newspaper in an effort to place pressure on owners
to improve properties which are currently a blight to
their neighborhoods.
