What fails in Opa-locka
Serving Opa-locka and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
1969 is the median build year in Opa-locka, and 71.7 percent of the stock went up before 1990, an age that tends to settle whether the ductwork runs overhead through the attic or below the floor. In a ground-floor apartment of the late 1960s that keeps its terrazzo floor, the stone holds the slab's coolness, so humid air let in through an open door beads on it like a cold glass, and the floor near the door turns slick.
Climate & seasonal risk
Opa-locka spends four months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from June through September; of 62.65 inches in a normal year, 8.92 fall in June, rain recorded 1.6 miles away and dewpoint 8.5 miles away. Through the rainy months the rough, textured stucco on Opa-locka's Moorish Revival buildings holds each storm's water in its surface, and the concrete block behind it, once soaked, gives that water back only slowly to air already carrying all it can.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Rough-textured stucco over concrete block on the 1920s Moorish Revival buildings, holding rainy-season water in the surface and the block behind it
- Terrazzo floors on ground-floor slabs in apartment buildings of the late 1960s, more than two in five homes here, beading with water when humid air comes through an open door
- Wooden casement windows set in stuccoed block walls, whose painted sash and sill take up the rainy season's water and swell until the sash no longer closes tight
