Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Mount Vernon were built and the answer is 1953 at the median, 90.4 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1953 with more than nine in ten buildings older, the multi-family stock carries an iron fire escape on the rear elevation, anchored into the masonry at every landing and at every point where the frame meets the wall.
Climate & seasonal risk
2 months in Mount Vernon have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 27.3 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in August at 4.82 inches of an annual 49.85; both figures recorded at BRONX, 5.4 miles away. August is the wettest month at 4.82 inches of a 50-inch year and two months average a low below freezing, so the wall is wet often and frozen rarely; steel set into damp masonry rusts steadily in those conditions rather than being held dry by cold.
How water losses tend to end in Mount Vernon
- Steel anchored into masonry, so rust expands inside the wall and opens the joint around it
- Anchors at every landing, so the openings run the full height of the rear wall
- Water entering high and traveling down inside, so it appears several floors below
