Local housing stock
Of roughly 12,500 housing units, about 11,425 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1953. Post-war housing on small lots covers nearly all of the borough, most of it over full basements. The river bends around the low edge of the town, so a relatively small share of the housing carries river exposure while the rest deals with a high seasonal table and a storm system with nowhere quick to discharge.
Climate & seasonal risk
Fair Lawn averages 49.25 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at GLEN ROCK 0.7 SSE 1.1 miles away, with July the wettest month at 4.79 inches. July brings the wettest month, and the river drains a basin with very little fall, so water leaves the area slowly under any conditions. A large storm produces flooding that lasts for days and recedes on the river's schedule rather than the weather's.
Common water damage problems in Fair Lawn
- A river with so little fall that emptying the basin takes days at the best of times
- Long-duration flooding measured in days rather than hours
- A small share of the borough carrying river exposure and the rest carrying groundwater
- Cellars sitting at or under a table that stays up for days in a basin like this
