Construction officials are employing video conferencing technology to safely conduct virtual home inspections in yet another example of the Township’s ongoing effort to offer essential services to residents during this health crisis.

Township Construction Official Frank DeLorenzo said members of his department have been using Zoom – a free, popular program typically used to remotely hold group meetings – to view the insides and outsides of homes.

The technology is important because it has allowed for the sales of homes in the Township to proceed during the pandemic in which stringent social distancing measures have been enacted by state officials.

To date, township officials have conducted 12 home inspections using the remote technology.
