Getting to Know Patchogue
The Village of Patchogue has a revitalized Main Street downtown and runs ferries to Davis Park and Watch Hill on Fire Island from the Patchogue River. Patchogue is on Long Island's South Shore, along the Patchogue River and the Great South Bay. Patchogue is an incorporated village inside the Town of Brookhaven, so repair permits and inspections after a loss generally go through the village's own building department. Census figures put Patchogue at roughly 2.26 square miles of land, with another 0.26 square miles of water inside its boundary.
Neighboring communities include Blue Point, East Patchogue and North Patchogue.
Storm, Water and Fire Risk in Patchogue
Being close to the Patchogue River and the Great South Bay means flood exposure. Low-lying streets near the water may fall in FEMA-mapped flood zones, and a mortgage lender may require flood insurance there. When a storm causes both wind and flood damage, documenting each part separately protects both claims.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Patchogue home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
What Homes in Patchogue Are Like
Many homes in Patchogue predate the 1940s. On older houses, insurers often argue that damage was pre-existing or the result of deterioration, so photos, maintenance records and a contractor's opinion on cause carry real weight.
