Stone Harbor Bridge

A structural crack was discovered late yesterday on the 96th Street draw bridge.  The bridge is closed until repairs made- likely after the weekend.

Fortunately, the Ocean Drive bridge via North Wildwood Boulevard is no longer charging tolls (closed for the winter).

UPDATE 11/1/16- the repairs are expected to take at least 1 week.

Tax Evaluations

Both Avalon and Stone Harbor have scheduled a tax re-evaluation for all properties within the municipality.

Property owners will receive notice, and a request for inspection.  It’s always in your best interest for the tax assessor to see the interior so that you are credited with the correct amenities.

Once the evaluations are complete, the tax rate will be adjusted accordingly.

The communities are required to maintain tax assessments within a close percentage of fair market value.

Ready for Winter?

Hard to imagine on a day like today…but it WILL eventually turn colder!

Is your shore house prepared for winter?

frozenpipesThe combination of cold temperatures and high winds causes exposed pipes to freeze.  Outside showers and non-frost proof hose nozzles must be shut off and drained.  Disconnect all hoses (water in the hose will expand and crack even the frost proof nozzle).

If you leave your inside water on, set the heat between 55 and 60 degrees, and open the cabinet doors under all sinks to allow warm air to circulate around the pipes.

Close the crawl space vents and access doors (re-open in the spring to allow air flow under the house).

Purchase a “watchman” red light from the local hardware store (a thermostat connected to the light will indicate if the inside temperature falls below 45 degrees).  And, provide the police with your contact information.

Or, hire someone to regularly inspect your property to make sure the heat is functioning.  Based on last winter…this is money well spent.
