Why Do NYC Buildings Have Wooden Water Towers on the Roof?

New York City buildings have wooden water towers on their roofs because the city’s street-level water pressure is not always strong enough to reach the upper floors. In a traditional system, a pump lifts water to a tank above the apartments. When someone turns on a faucet or takes a shower, gravity sends that stored water back down through the building’s pipes. The rooftop tank is there to provide a dependable source of water and pressure, not to decorate the skyline.

NYC Rent Freeze Program to Cover More Seniors and Disabled Tenants

NYC Rent Freeze Program to Cover More Seniors and Disabled Tenants. New York City’s Rent Freeze Program lets eligible older tenants and tenants with disabilities lock in their rent, so future increases are covered by a property tax credit to the building owner instead of coming out of their pockets. The state has raised the program’s income limit from $50,000 to $75,000, the first increase since 2014, a change Sen. Liz Krueger says will let thousands more New Yorkers enroll in the NYC rent freeze program. The city still has to finish adopting the new limit, which Krueger expects by the end of November. It covers rent-regulated apartments, including Mitchell-Lama and HDFC housing, and Krueger’s office is offering one-on-one application help at a clinic on Tuesday, Nov. 17. Call 212-490-9535 to book a spot. Slots are limited, and there are no walk-ins.
