What Jersey City's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
With 56% of homes built before 1980, Jersey City has plenty of older houses. Debris from older homes runs heavy (plaster, lath, tile, cast iron), so tell us what's coming out and we'll match the weight allowance.

54% of homes in Jersey City are in buildings with five or more units. Without a private driveway, a dumpster usually goes in a parking lot with the property manager's OK, or on the street with a city permit.

On a driveway or other private property you usually don't need a permit. Placing a dumpster on a street, sidewalk or alley usually needs a right-of-way or street-use permit; check with Jersey City (public works or transportation) before street placement. HOAs can have their own rules.
