National Flood Insurance Program
Community
Rating System - Substantial Improvement Requirements The National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requires that if the cost of
reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition or other improvements to a
building equals or exceeds 50% of the building’s assessed value, the
building must meet the same construction requirements as a new building.
Substantially damaged buildings must also be brought up to the same
standards. If a residence is damaged so that the cost of repairs equals
or exceeds 50% of the building’s value (before it was damaged), it must
be elevated above the base flood elevation. You may get this elevation
from the Construction Office in Borough Hall or call (609) 967-4220

expensive zip codes in New Jersey. The Princeton and Whitebrier
Block, as the property is called in the listing, spans from Dune Drive
to Ocean Drive and 20th to 21st Streets in Avalon. It is at the
intersection of the borough’s main commercial district and high-end
residential neighborhoods.
