Local housing stock
About three quarters of the housing here predates 1990 — 75 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1956. A 1956 median of frame and brick on full basements, stacked up West Hill and Fall Creek and down onto Titus Flats, where the same year means a hillside cut on one block and a clay-flat cellar on the next.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 38.29 inches that arrive in an average year, 3.98 fall in June; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 2.8 miles away at ITHACA CORNELL UNIV. June's 3.98 inches falls on steep shale and clay. What the hills cannot hold runs the gorges; what the flats cannot shed sits on glacial lake clay that Cayuga already holds wet. Houses cut into the hills keep the uphill side wet long after the lake itself has dropped.
Common moisture and mold problems in Ithaca
- Hillside cuts into glacial lake clay retaining a saturated uphill wall after every June storm
- Titus Flats cellars sitting on clay whose water table moves with Cayuga
- Gorge streets acting as torrents that overwhelm inlets and fill the lowest openings on the way down
- A 1956 stock built into slopes and flats with the same foundation detail for two different grounds
