Glen Rock is a small borough with a lot of old houses for its size. About two in five homes were built before 1940, and roughly a third more went up between 1940 and 1979, so many houses are on their second or third set of systems. About half are detached, and nearly a third sit in buildings with two or more units.

Renters make up close to half the households, so landlords hire a good share of the work. Most homes heat with gas, and water comes from the Glen Rock Water Authority. When Tropical Storm Lee brought flooding in 2011, FEMA and PEMA paid for borough repairs to the library's basement walls and the Codorus Street retaining wall.

Permits go through Dependable Construction Code Services under a borough contract. Start at the borough office, which asks residents not to call the zoning or building code officer directly, since those calls are billed. The borough's code sets frost depth at 30 inches and ground snow load at 30 pounds per square foot, numbers that matter for footings and roofs.
