Where Bayport Sits
Bayport is a South Shore hamlet of older homes on the Great South Bay, between Sayville and Blue Point. Bayport is on Long Island's South Shore; its shoreline faces the Great South Bay. There is no village government in Bayport: it is a hamlet of the Town of Islip, so the town's building department handles permits for post-loss repairs. It covers roughly 3.74 square miles of land, according to the Census Bureau.
Communities around Bayport include Blue Point, Holbrook, North Patchogue and Sayville.
Housing and Claims in Bayport
Older houses define much of Bayport: colonials, Tudors and Victorians with details that are expensive to reproduce. A fair estimate has to reflect plaster and lath, hardwood that must be matched, and the ordinance-or-law costs of meeting today's building code.
What Goes Wrong on Bayport Claims
Storm surge and tidal flooding are the main threat for homes near the Great South Bay. Standard homeowners policies exclude flood, so flood damage usually goes to a separate NFIP or private flood policy, while wind and wind-driven rain stay with the homeowners carrier. After a storm, expect the two insurers to argue over the line between them.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Bayport home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
