Newark at a glance
Forest Hill in the North Ward has large early-1900s houses and is a historic district. Weequahic, around Weequahic Park, has many brick and frame houses from the 1920s. Many Newark homes are two- and three-family houses with a separate meter and heating system for each unit.
Newark Liberty International Airport and Port Newark take up the city's eastern edge. Older sections of the city have combined sewers, and heavy storms can flood streets and basements. Vailsburg, on the western edge, has many two-family homes on small lots.
Newark is New Jersey's largest city by population. Summers are hot and humid, and winter storms often bring a mix of snow and ice.

Building permits are handled by the city's Building Division, also called the Office of Uniform Construction Code.
Questions about Newark
Who supplies water in Newark?
Newark's Department of Water and Sewer Utilities draws water from the Pequannock watershed and treats it at the Charlotteburg plant. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from PSE&G and natural gas from PSE&G. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Newark need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the city's Building Division, also called the Office of Uniform Construction Code, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
Does VendorReach do the work?
No. We are a referral service. We connect you with an independent local company, and they quote, schedule and complete the job.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before booking work on the building.
Not in a rush? Say so. Flexible timing can make it easier to find someone with an opening.
