What drying runs into in Hoboken
Serving Hoboken and the surrounding area, including Uptown, Downtown, The Shades, Lincoln Harbor.
Local housing stock
Only 40.8 percent of Hoboken's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1977 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1977 with about six in ten buildings older, a great many of the buildings have a garden level whose floor is below the sidewalk outside, reached down a few steps, so the lowest occupied rooms are under the level of the street.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 4.6 of the 49.52 inches Hoboken sees in a normal year, and July averages 77.5 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at NEW YORK CNTRL PK TWR, 3.9 miles away. July is the wettest month at under five inches of a fifty inch year with two months averaging a low below freezing; that peak matters here because a floor below the street takes the summer rain from the road rather than from the sky above the building.
How water losses tend to end in Hoboken
- An occupied floor below street level, so the road drains toward the building rather than away from it
- Entrances down a few steps, so the doorway is a low point that collects
- Finished rooms rather than storage at that level, so a loss there is living space rather than a basement
