Home rebuilds and renovations in Westbury
Settled in 1658, built out by the 1950s
Westbury’s first settlers arrived in 1658, on the Hempstead Plains. New Cassel, founded in the mid-1700s by formerly enslaved farmers, was one of the first free African American communities on Long Island, and it stayed an unincorporated hamlet when Westbury became a village in 1932. By the mid-1950s Westbury had all but run out of open land, and the building boom ended. Salisbury, once known as South Westbury, has many Levitt-style homes beside Eisenhower Park.
Census figures put the median year built at 1955, with roughly seven in ten homes from before 1960. Owners of houses that age compare a deep renovation with a knockdown and a new build on the same footprint.
How a project works in Westbury
Village, Town of North Hempstead or Town of Hempstead
The Village of Westbury, mostly in the southeastern part of the Town of North Hempstead, runs its own Buildings Department and says no work may begin before a permit is obtained. New Cassel is a hamlet governed directly by the Town of North Hempstead, so its permits go through the Town’s Buildings Department and MyToNH. Salisbury belongs to the Town of Hempstead, whose Building Department works through its Online Permit Center. Three places, three offices: the address settles which one.

Westbury permit paperwork, village and Town
Paperwork by jurisdiction
The Village of Westbury lists demolition and retaining walls among the work that needs a building permit. Its application is notarized and comes with two sets of scaled drawings carrying the original seal of a licensed engineer or registered architect, two copies of the survey and the contractor’s insurance certificate naming the village. Plumbing and electrical work goes to professionals the village licenses.
For a Salisbury teardown, the Town of Hempstead’s October 2025 instructions start with a plumbing permit to cut off sewer and water, then want a survey with a plot plan, utility letters from PSEG and National Grid, an 811 ticket, an asbestos affidavit from a licensed inspector and a County extermination certificate, plus affidavits on voids and tree preservation.

Does Westbury's village code cover flood areas?
It has a Flood Damage Prevention chapter, Chapter 127. Its definitions count work costing 50% or more of a building’s market value before construction as a substantial improvement. The definitions themselves don’t say which lots, if any, sit in a mapped flood area. Westbury Chapter 127
What does the village need before a certificate of occupancy?
A final updated survey, a final electrical certificate and a final inspection by the Buildings Department. A certificate of completion goes through the same three steps. Village Buildings Department
