Why is Central Air SO Uncommon in New York City?

Real Talk NYC Real Estate

Whether you’re searching for a rental apartment or looking to buy the perfect home in Manhattan, you may have noticed a surprising trend (especially if you’re not a native or long-time NYC resident). Most New York City apartments don’t have central air!

The lack of central air in most buildings in New York City comes down to when they were built. The NYC Department of Buildings reports roughly 75% of the residential buildings throughout the five boroughs were built before 1960. Central air didn’t become standard until the late 60s/early 70s.

So, that charming pre-war you’ve got your heart set on may not have central air conditioning. But, as usual, New Yorkers have figured out a number of ways to keep cool without central air! Listen to this episode to learn all about air conditioning in NYC.
