Harrison at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Newark Intl Ap, NJ station, about 4 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Hudson County in the Mixed-Humid climate region (IECC 2021 zone 4A, PNNL county guide). This region gets both a real summer and a real winter, so a July rental and a January rental need different planning.
Rain and Ground
About 47 inches of precipitation falls in an average year, with about 12 days of an inch or more. Soft ground is the risk: units belong on a firm, level base the service truck can reach without crossing a soggy lawn, and an ADA unit needs a route that does not turn to mud.
Freezing Nights
About 80 nights a year reach 32°F or below, fewer than most U.S. places in our data, mostly between late fall and early spring. Water-carrying units need a plan from late fall into spring: give your dates when you call and ask how hand-wash water and flush tanks are kept from freezing.
Snow and Access
About 32 inches of snow falls in an average year, more than most U.S. places in our data, usually in a handful of storms. After a storm, clear the route from the road to the units before the next service day so the truck can reach them.
Summer Hot Spells
About 28 days a year reach 90°F, close to the U.S. middle in our data; hot spells come and go rather than lasting all summer. If your dates land in a hot spell, ask for an extra service visit on multi-day rentals and keep hand-wash stations topped up.
Job Sites and Home Projects
New Housing
About 38.8% of Harrison's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), roughly 3.4 times the U.S. share of 11.4%. That is a housing-stock figure, not a count of current projects, but it means much of the place was built recently, often as subdivisions where several crews share one site. About 7.6% were built in 2020 or later, in the top tenth of U.S. places in our data.
Older Paint on Renovation Jobs
A large share of Harrison's housing, about 45% of units, was built before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule covers paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978, and OSHA’s lead standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.62) requires adequate hand-washing facilities for workers exposed to lead. If the crew will sand, scrape or demolish old paint, put one of the hand-wash stations next to the toilet.
Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals
The most common housing type is buildings with five or more units, about 52% of units (higher than nine in ten U.S. places in our data), followed by two- to four-unit buildings at about 37% (ACS 2020–2024). Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. In small multi-unit buildings where tenants stay in place during work, put the crew's unit where it does not block a shared entrance. About 79% of occupied homes are renter-occupied (ACS; owner share lower than nine in ten U.S. places in our data), so property managers and landlords often book the units for renovations and decide where they stand.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 scales with headcount: 45 workers on an apartment or condo site need 2 toilet seats and 2 urinals, 210 need 5 of each. More on sizing: construction rentals in New Jersey.
Events, Weddings and Parties
An all-day festival for 5,000 people over six hours needs 38 units on the PSAI event chart, or 42 to 46 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up, and with heavy rain this common the ADA unit needs a route that stays firm when the grass is wet.
Cold, not heat, limits the outdoor season: from late fall into spring, ask for a heated restroom trailer or units that do not depend on running water. For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand. More: event rentals in New Jersey and wedding restrooms in New Jersey.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Harrison is an incorporated town with its own municipal government. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the Harrison town government before you book what applies.
If you rent your home, check with the landlord or property manager before a unit goes on the property. On attached or small multi-unit lots without a driveway, a unit at the curb is a street-use question for the Harrison town government.
