Building decks in Jericho
Jericho is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay, so permits run through the Town, and its lots run larger and more wooded than the Central Nassau average: colonials, expanded ranches and splits set well back from the road. That space is the opportunity: instead of a single platform there is usually room for a dining deck off the kitchen and a separate patio or pergola zone. These are long-tenure family homes in a top-rated school district, so owners tend to build once and build properly rather than for a quick resale.
