Local conditions in Cohoes
Serving Cohoes and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 25.4 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1954. Three quarters predates 1990, dense mill-era stock on stone cellars stepped down a slope. The gradients here are severe and the streets act accordingly during a heavy cell.
Climate & seasonal risk
Cohoes averages 42.09 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at TROY L&D 1.9 miles away, with July the wettest month at 4.64 inches. July tops the year at under five inches out of forty-two. What sets the level beside the town is rain across the country upstream rather than anything falling on the streets here.
Common water damage problems in Cohoes
- A meeting of two rivers where the larger decides what the smaller can do
- Severe gradients that turn streets into channels during a heavy cell
- Stone cellars cut into a slope, where the wall rather than the floor lets water in
- Ice on a controlled reach, which collects at the structures rather than passing on
