Where Jericho Sits
Jericho sits at the junction of Jericho Turnpike and Route 106/107, with postwar and later homes near the Long Island Expressway. Jericho sits in the middle of the Island, away from the shoreline. Jericho is an unincorporated hamlet, which the Census Bureau counts as a Census-designated place; building permits and inspections run through the Town of Oyster Bay. The Census Bureau measures Jericho at about 3.96 square miles of land.
Communities around Jericho include Brookville, Hicksville, Muttontown, New Cassel, Old Westbury, Syosset and Westbury.
Homes in Jericho
Much of the housing here went up in the decades after World War II: Capes, ranches, split-levels and high-ranches, many expanded with dormers, second stories or rear additions. When an addition built in the 1980s meets an original 1950s framing system, adjusters often argue about where the damage started and how much of the home has to be opened up.
Local Risks That Shape Claims in Jericho
Away from the coast, the most common losses in Jericho are burst and frozen pipes, failed water heaters, appliance leaks and basement water. The remnants of Ida in September 2021 showed how fast heavy rain can flood basements far from the water, and whether a water backup endorsement is on the policy often decides those claims.
