Based on NOAA readings at Central Park, Manhattan, 4.2 km away, winters 1995/96-2024/25.

New York City sees fewer hard-freeze nights than anywhere else we serve, but most of its buildings are old: about 58% of Manhattan homes were built before 1960. Burst pipes here often start in a vacant unit, a unit with the heat turned off, or a line along an outside wall, and then reach the apartments below. If you are leaving for the holidays, keep the heat on rather than off.

New York City Restoration FAQ

Call the Advanced DRI New York City office at (917) 781-1944. The line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for water, fire, mold and storm emergencies.
The New York City office is at 776A 6th Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10001. On Google Maps it is listed as Advanced Disaster Recovery Inc.
The New York City office serves Manhattan and Queens and nearby communities. In Westchester County it covers Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, White Plains, Rye, Eastchester, Greenburgh, Harrison, Mamaroneck, Pelham, Rye Town, Scarsdale, Bronxville, Tuckahoe, Pelham Manor, Port Chester, Rye Brook, Hartsdale, Larchmont, Mamaroneck Village, Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington and Elmsford.
It depends on where the leak started and who owns that part of the building. In a co-op, the proprietary lease sets the boundary and the corporation is often responsible for building systems. In a condo, the declaration decides, and owners generally cover what is inside their unit. Negligence can shift the cost, and your own insurer can adjust the claim first and then pursue the responsible party.
Report raw sewage backing up to 311; NYC DEP says it will inspect within six hours of the complaint, though heavy rain can cause delays. If DEP finds the cause is your private service line, you get a Notice to Repair and the repair is yours. If you believe the City caused the damage, file a claim with the NYC Comptroller within 90 days.
Queens, by a wide margin. NYC 311 logged about 24,700 sewer backup complaints to DEP in Queens between 2021 and 2025, compared with about 2,200 in Manhattan. Citywide the total was about 60,500. These are reported complaints, not confirmed backups, and they are counted by the borough where the complaint was filed.
Central Park averages about 15 nights per winter at or below 20°F, a range where exposed pipes can start to freeze, and about 2 nights at or below 10°F (NOAA, 30 winters to 2024/25). The first 20°F night typically arrives around December 21, and January is the coldest month. About 58% of homes in New York County were built before 1960, so older plumbing is common. Our Winter Burst Pipe Risk report compares all nine offices: advanceddri.com/risk-report/winter-burst-pipe-risk.
