What public records show for food service in Paterson
Past emergency
FEMA's 2021 declaration for Passaic County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4614, remnants of hurricane ida, on September 5, 2021 for Passaic County, which includes Paterson, for an incident that began September 1, 2021. It is one of 11 major disaster declarations covering Passaic County since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. For a school, care home, or shelter in Paterson, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Paterson
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Dam, Spillway, Retaining Wall" (water control facilities, about $2.2 million) in Passaic County after DR-4614, a tropical storm declared September 5, 2021; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Passaic County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Building Damages, 100%" (buildings and equipment, about $2.1 million) in Passaic County after DR-4614, a tropical storm declared September 5, 2021; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When a public building is repaired after a disaster, its kitchen can be out of service for months. A temporary kitchen on site covers meal service at a school, shelter, or government building in Paterson until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access

Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. New Jersey is on the East Coast within reach of our Virginia operations, and projects here are quoted case by case. Equipment for Paterson would travel I-95 (New Jersey Turnpike) and local routes, as it would for nearby Prospect Park and Haledon. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Paterson
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Paterson's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Suppose a public high school cafeteria in Paterson schedules a 2-month renovation, replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-95 (New Jersey Turnpike) corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 2 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.5. Estimated rental cost
40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $43,970 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
