What drying runs into in Jersey City

Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Jersey City were built and the answer is 1971 at the median, 63 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1971 with nearly two thirds of the stock older, and a great deal built since, the larger buildings put parking under the structure with a ramp down from the street, so there is occupied building sitting over a sunken concrete box.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 50.42 inches, 4.87 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 77.9 degrees in July; both figures recorded at HARRISON, 5.2 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.87 inches of a 50-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain is summer thunderstorms that arrive faster than any street drain can take; a ramp down from that street collects the surplus.
How water losses tend to end in Jersey City
- A ramp running down from the street, so surface water has a direct route to the lowest point
- Building services in that space, so a flood there reaches equipment serving every home above
- One drain and one pump at the bottom, so everything depends on a single system working
