Local housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 85.4 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1944. Older frame housing on raised foundations and hillside footings predominates with a median build year of 1944, stepped up from the flats into steep hills.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — BERKELEY, 2.2 miles out — puts the annual normal at 26.12 inches, with December heaviest at 5.32. December leads at 5.32 inches of a 26.12 inch year, so essentially all the rain arrives between November and March. Hills shed that water quickly toward the flats, where it enters a culverted creek system built for a less developed version of the city.
Common moisture and mold problems in Berkeley
- Culverted creeks carrying hill runoff beneath streets that give no indication they exist
- Rainfall compressed into a few winter months, leaving drainage untested most of the year
- Hill lots benched into the slope, where the cut face behind the pad collects everything above it
- Pre-war stock where more than eight in ten units predate 1990 and much predates 1950
