Local housing stock
About 73,696 of the 101,691 homes in Fort Lauderdale were finished before 1990, around a median of 1973; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. More than two in five homes here are in buildings of ten or more units, and where a building of the early 1970s leaves its hallways uncooled or feeds them outdoor air, that humid corridor air slips under each unit's entry door and condenses on the cooled wall and floor just inside it.
Climate & seasonal risk
The air over Fort Lauderdale carries the most water in August, when the normal dewpoint reaches 75.6 degrees, and from June through September it does not drop below 70 even overnight; September brings 8.55 of the 62.97 inches a year, rain recorded at OAKLAND PARK 0.3 SE 2 miles away and dewpoint 26.4 miles away. Through September, the wettest month, a seasonal unit left with its thermostat fan set to run constantly blows the water off its wet cooling coil back into the rooms between cycles, so the closed apartment stays damp even though the system is on.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Uncooled or outdoor-fed hallways in buildings of the early 1970s, where humid corridor air passes under unit doors and settles on cooled walls and flooring by the entry
- Seasonal units, about one home in eight, left with the thermostat fan running constantly, which returns water from the wet coil to the rooms between cooling cycles
- Aluminum balcony sliders in towers of that era, where the frame chilled by the room runs wet on its outer face and soaks the slab edge at the door sill
