New Haven at a glance
41% of New Haven's homes were built before 1940, so a lot of the concrete work here is replacing what earlier generations poured: front stoops, walks and steps, and new footings for additions beside old foundations.
Most of New Haven's housing is two-family, three-family and apartment buildings (only 20% is single-family detached), which means more entries, stairs, walks and parking per lot.
The median home in New Haven was built in 1952, older than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's older than nearby West Haven, where the median is 1961.
| Median year homes were built | 1952 |
|---|---|
| Homes built before 1960 | 59% |
| Single-family detached homes | 20% |
| Owner-occupied homes | 28% |

From our blog
Building in New Haven
- Shoreline
- Near Long Island Sound, salt air speeds up surface wear, and FEMA flood zones can change what an addition's foundation has to look like.
- Ledge
- Near East Rock and West Rock, rock can sit close to the surface, which changes footing depths and where a patio can go.
- Right-of-way
- Most New Haven streets have public sidewalks and curbs, so aprons and walks usually need a city permit.
- Permits
- Connecticut has one statewide building code, so footings go 42 inches deep in New Haven like everywhere else. What's local is the paperwork: New Haven's building department for structures, public works or engineering for the right-of-way, and the inland wetlands commission near water.
- Utilities
- We call 811 (Call Before You Dig) at least two full business days before every excavation.

For housing like New Haven's (half the homes built before 1952, 20% single-family detached), the jobs that usually come first are concrete repair, concrete sidewalks and concrete steps.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in New Haven?
It depends on the job. Driveways, patios and walks on your own lot usually don't need a building permit. Aprons and public sidewalks are city right-of-way work with a permit; foundations, walls over 4 feet and many new steps need a building permit from New Haven's building department.
