About the Business
The Jersey City Historic District, located at 30 Montgomery Street in Jersey City, New Jersey, is overseen by the Historic Preservation Commission. This commission works to identify, record, and protect buildings, sites, structures, and objects of historical, architectural, social, and archaeological significance. The commission aims to educate the public on the importance of these resources and encourages appropriate development and rehabilitation in accordance with preservation standards.
The commission is supported by preservation staff and accepts comments and applications related to historic preservation projects. All applications must be submitted through the Jersey City Licensing and Permitting website, and communication with the staff should be done via email. Meetings are held monthly to review applications for Certificates of Appropriateness for projects within the historic districts.
Property owners within the historic districts must secure a Certificate of No Effect or a Certificate of Appropriateness from the commission before undertaking any development, construction, alterations, or repairs. The commission reviews applications for new construction, additions, demolitions, and other projects to ensure they align with preservation standards.
Those interested in submitting an application or learning more about the Historic Preservation Commission can visit the public data portal or contact the commission via email. Meetings are open to the public, and homeowners, architects, contractors, and applicants are encouraged to discuss their projects with the commission's staff before submitting an application.

Reviews
"Jersey City, a historical town, holds a special place in my heart and remains one of my favorite destinations in the NYC area. Van Vorst Park, though modest in size, captivates with its historic charm, offering glimpses into the early immigrant establishments that shaped this vibrant city. The rich history and unique character of Jersey City make it a must-visit, providing a delightful escape within the proximity of NYC."
"No person to talk to directly in historic preservation office. I was referred to click-fix but when I put in my email it read “we already have this email.” Then I couldn’t continue. Two vacant homes in the Bergen Hill historic area are being covered in vinyl siding. I thought that vinyl was not allowed. One building looks like no insulation is being used other than thin black sheeting under the vinyl. In addition, one house, a small Victorian with partial vinyl siding so far, also had the entire front yard paved over in cement. Is this allowed? No green space to absorb run off water nor trees to contribute to healthier air quality. Other homeowners in this area had construction stopped because of unauthorized vinyl siding. One had to tear it down and the other house has been vacant a few years due to an unauthorized vinyl siding purchase. What are the laws about acceptable siding in Jersey City’s historic areas?"
