What drying runs into in Allentown

Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Allentown were built and the answer is 1952 at the median, 87 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1952 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the row stock was built with a continuous front porch, so the roof over it spans a dozen properties as one structure rather than stopping at each house.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 5.3 of the 47.36 inches Allentown sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at ALLENTOWN INTL AP, 4.2 miles away. July is the wettest month at 5.3 inches of a 47-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the porch roof takes heavy summer rain and then carries snow; nothing about it stops at a property line in either season.
How water losses tend to end in Allentown
- A roof shared by a dozen households, so a failure anywhere along it is everybody's
- No division at the party walls, so water travels the length of the structure inside it
- Repairs done house by house, so the covering is a patchwork of ages and materials
