Building decks in Massapequa Park
Massapequa Park is an incorporated village, not a hamlet, which matters practically: it runs its own building department with its own permit process and inspection schedule, separate from the Town of Oyster Bay. It also has among the highest homeownership rates on Long Island — these are long-tenure family homes, mostly capes and colonials, where owners tend to build once and build properly rather than for a quick resale.
