What 1958 tells you about the pipe in Ho Ho Kus
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel still the norm, with copper appearing towards the end of the decade. A house from these years may have had part of its supply replaced and part left alone, which is why pressure can be fine in one bathroom and poor in another. More on 1950s supply pipe.
91% of occupied homes in Ho Ho Kus are owner-occupied, 28 points above the NJ figure of 63%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

In a town of this vintage the first question in Ho Ho Kus is still how many taps are weak, and the answer usually comes back "all of them" — which points at the supply rather than at any fixture.
