Building/Construction Department

Borough of Saddle River

Construction Department

The Construction Department is here to assist residents when they are making construction changes to their houses. Our office has jurisdiction over building, plumbing, electrical, and fire improvements. The Department’s main goal is to ensure that all work is code compliant and that proper techniques and procedures are followed for your safety.

Inspection Requests

All inspection requests must be in writing. Requests are not added to the schedule until confirmed by Building Department staff.

Inspection requests must include the property address, permit number, and three (3) requested inspection dates. If you do not receive confirmation, then you are not on the schedule.

No access to email? A Construction Permit Inspection Request Form can be printed here or obtained from our office.
