Local housing stock
Building in Newington Forest clusters in the mid 1980s: the median unit dates to 1984, with 85.2 percent finished before 1990. Six in seven homes predate 1990, attached construction on sloping ground with the association holding the common areas. Where a roof spans four addresses, so does a leak in it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 47.3 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.95 fall in September; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 5.2 miles away at FRANCONIA 1.3 SSE. September leads at nearly five inches out of forty-seven, with the heaviest events arriving as tropical remnants. Attached roofs shed a large area onto a small number of outlets.
Common water damage problems in Newington Forest
- Roofs and gutters spanning several homes, so one failure affects all of them
- Association-held common ground where the responsibility for drainage is not the owner's
- Sloping sites where the lowest unit in a cluster receives what the others shed
- Below-grade levels in end units taking the hillside that the row is cut into
