Local housing stock
Only 14.1 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1949. Older brick and frame rowhouses on full basements predominate with a median build year of 1949, built on clay terraces above the river.
Climate & seasonal risk
Albany averages 43.07 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at ALBANY 0.7 SW 0.7 miles away, with July the wettest month at 4.66 inches. July leads at 4.66 inches, but the ground beneath matters more than the total. Glacial lake clay under much of the city accepts water very slowly and holds it, so a foundation here sits against material that stays loaded long after the rain has stopped.
Common moisture and mold problems in Albany
- Glacial lake clay accepting water slowly and holding it against foundations for weeks
- A tidal river reach keeping groundwater levels high across the lower districts
- Housing where more than eight in ten units predate 1990 and most predate 1960
- Deep winter frost working masonry joints in foundations built without damp-proofing
