East Orange sits along the Second River corridor in Essex County, with aging urban infrastructure contributing to frequent water damage events in its dense multi-family housing stock. The city's predominantly pre-1950 apartment buildings feature deteriorating plumbing and flat-roof construction vulnerable to water pooling. Heavy rainfall from nor'easters and tropical storm remnants often overwhelms the combined sewer system, causing basement backups affecting large numbers of residential units simultaneously.
