Electrical Permit
McGinley Square, JC
McGinley Square is the dense, multi-family core of central Jersey City — a grid of 4-, 5-, and 6-unit buildings surrounding St. Peter's University and extending toward NJCU. These older structures are converting fast: gut renovations, common-area upgrades, and unit-by-unit rewires. ClearPath handles the full permit package, F120 to PSE&G ESI, filed in parallel so your project moves without utility delays.
McGinley Square Permits: What You Need to Know
McGinley Square anchors the central section of Jersey City, roughly bounded by Montgomery Street to the north, the light rail corridor to the east, and the approaches to NJCU (New Jersey City University) to the west. St. Peter's University sits at the neighborhood's heart, and the streets radiating out from the square — Montgomery, Communipaw, Bramhall, and the cross-blocks — are lined with the densest concentration of older multifamily buildings in the city.
Four-, five-, and six-unit apartment buildings built between 1910 and 1945 dominate the neighborhood. Many were split into smaller units over the decades, leaving a tangle of sub-panels, shared meters, and common-area electrical systems that were never brought up to code. Landlords renovating individual units often discover that the building-wide panel and feeder wiring need replacement before unit work can be permitted. ClearPath structures these applications to address the building as a system — common area panel, unit sub-panels, and feeder conductors — rather than filing piecemeal permits that generate repeated trips to the building department.
PSE&G is the utility serving McGinley Square, and ESI applications for multi-unit buildings can involve multiple service points on the same property. ClearPath files all ESI requests in parallel with the municipal F120, cutting the typical 4–6 week utility window out of your critical path entirely.
