Schenectady sits on the Mohawk River — one of New York's most flood-prone waterways — with large portions of the city within the 100-year floodplain. Tropical storm remnants (Irene 2011, Ida 2021) have produced record Mohawk River crests that flooded the Stockade Historic District and Riverside neighborhoods. Lake-effect precipitation adds winter ice dam and spring snowmelt flooding. Pre-1940 construction with aging cast-iron drain systems is common.
