Superstorm Sandy caused unprecedented damage throughout the New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County areas, as well as in parts of New Jersey and Connecticut. On Long Island alone, the storm’s high winds and resultant storm surge and flooding destroyed over 2,000 homes, with about 100,000 others severely flooded or damaged.1
Property owners who are seeking to rebuild or repair their homes and other structures are facing a significant number of hurdles, including the need to comply with a host of local zoning and permit rules. These requirements range from the flood protection mandates contained in local community laws that have been passed as a condition of participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to the standards contained in various state and local codes.
