Local housing stock
Only 14.1 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1949. Attached construction means shared party walls and roofs running continuously across several addresses, so a failure at one is a failure at all of them. Stone and brick cellars sit beneath, built when relief drainage was not part of the specification.
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 is the wettest month near five inches, but the difficult season is late winter, when a thaw releases the snow on those long roofs faster than the drainage on them can carry it.
Common water damage problems in Albany
- Roofs running continuously across attached addresses, where one failure wets several houses
- Gutters and downspouts built into the fabric rather than hung outside it
- Stone cellars set into a hillside with soil in direct contact
- Deep frost and thaw cycles opening masonry joints a little further every year
