Local housing stock
Building in Schenectady clusters in the early 1940s: the median unit dates to 1941, with 88.9 percent finished before 1990. Pre-war frame and brick on full basements, median 1941, with 89 percent predating 1990 — Stockade rubble on the floodplain, triple-deckers on Hamilton Hill, and the GE Realty Plot on the terrace.
Climate & seasonal risk
Schenectady averages 40.68 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at ALBANY AP 7.3 miles away, with July the wettest month at 4.55 inches. July's 4.55 inches is a summer cell peak, but the Mohawk's local trick is winter ice. Jams at the Stockade bend hold the river up against the lowest cellars, and the same water that did not fall in July arrives as a jam in January.
Common moisture and mold problems in Schenectady
- Mohawk ice jams at the Stockade bend holding river water against the oldest cellars
- Hamilton Hill and Vale seeps discharging into 1940s basements cut into the terrace
- GE-era triple-deckers sharing porches and leaders, so one clog is three addresses
- A 1941-median stock with coal cellars still below grade and no original perimeter drain
