Roofs and buildings in Corona
Corona's blocks hold wood-frame and brick two- and three-family houses, many dating from the early twentieth century, with flat, low-slope and pitched roofs. Attached rowhouses and small apartment buildings fill other streets, and Roosevelt Avenue and Junction Boulevard have storefronts with apartments above under flat roofs. Near the park, larger commercial and institutional buildings add bigger membrane roofs.

What wears out roofs in Corona
Aging wood-frame multi-family roofs
Many two- and three-family houses have older roofs with multiple layers. Worn flashing, sagging sections and failing seams cause leaks that can affect several apartments, so thorough inspections are worthwhile.
Elevated-train and traffic grime
Roofs near the 7 train and Roosevelt Avenue collect soot and take vibration. Loose flashing, vents and signage mounts need periodic checks, and drains should be kept clear of debris.
Rooftop additions and illegal conversions
Rooftop sheds, bulkheads and additions create extra penetrations and unpredictable drainage. Proper flashing and honest assessment of existing structures help avoid leaks and code problems.
Hot summers bake flat roofs, and winter freeze-thaw cycles open cracks in older seams, so spring and fall checks are a practical way to head off leaks.
