The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The county records describe a new 52,987-square-foot supervised residential facility at 410-420 Straight St in Paterson. It would house 17 or more people and has a reported construction cost of about $15.1 million. "Supervised residential" means people live on site with staff oversight.
The address matches the site of Straight & Narrow, a Paterson substance-abuse treatment provider. News search results say a 2019 fire destroyed its residence and that a rebuild was planned on the same site. A later report says the center is reopening under a new name. The search results did not give an opening date, and the articles could not be opened to check details. That means a firm link between this county filing and the rebuild is likely but not confirmed.
No opposition or city hearing coverage was found.
What it could mean nearby
- The site appears to be a rebuild of an existing treatment campus, so the use may not be new to the neighborhood.
- A facility of this size would likely bring staff jobs and some visitor and delivery traffic, but no traffic study was found.
