Getting to Know Nissequogue
The Village of Nissequogue covers the neck between the Nissequogue River and Stony Brook Harbor, with large wooded properties and Sound bluffs. Nissequogue is on Long Island's North Shore, with frontage on Long Island Sound and the Nissequogue River. As an incorporated village, Nissequogue has its own village government, and building permits and code enforcement usually run through the village rather than the Town of Smithtown. By Census Bureau measurements, the village covers about 3.81 square miles of land plus 0.22 square miles of water.
Neighboring communities include Fort Salonga, Head of the Harbor, Kings Park, Smithtown (hamlet) and Stony Brook.
How Local Conditions Affect Nissequogue Claims
Homes near the bluffs face strong winds off Long Island Sound and erosion during nor'easters. Erosion itself is usually excluded, which makes it important to separate covered wind and water damage from the earth-movement arguments an insurer may raise.
With heavy tree cover in Nissequogue, fallen trees and limbs are a common source of roof, siding and fence damage. Insurers may argue a tree was diseased or that damage to landscaping is capped by a low sublimit, so photos of the tree and the break point help.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Nissequogue home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
Homes in Nissequogue
