- weatherlight 3y agothe NYC sewer backed-up into the apt. All the rain water and the sewer go to the same place because NYC's sewer system is from the 1800's. If you do get a house, get one with a sump pump. if it's the bottom floor of an apartment building, get one with a back flow valve going into the building. When buying used, make sure to look over the HOA's minutes to see if they've had issues with flooding in the past and what repairs they've done to address those issues.
