Bogota homeowners: get your ductwork cleaned without surprises on the bill.
Bogota's older housing
Bogota's typical home dates to the late 1930s, and about 72% predate 1960. About 6% of homes still use propane, which is more than most nearby towns.
Inside Bogota's duct systems
Pre-1960 houses make up about 72% of Bogota's housing, per the Census (median build year 1938). Older homes often got their ducts in stages: original heat runs, then a central-air retrofit, then additions. Dust collects at the joints between those stages.
Of roughly 3,493 homes in Bogota, most are detached houses.
Bogota was formed in 1894 from part of Ridgefield Township.
Bogota was named in honor of the Bogert family, which had been the first European settlers to occupy the area, and may also be a blend of Bogert and Banta, another early family, with an "O" added to ease pronunciation.
Several bridges, including the Court Street Bridge and the Midtown Bridge, cross the Hackensack River from Bogota.
