What's different about window cleaning in New York City

New York City’s weather gives window cleaning a practical seasonal rhythm. Central Park’s 1991–2020 normal winter average is 36.2°F, with a 42.0°F high and 30.4°F low, while annual normal precipitation is 49.52 inches and snowfall is 29.8 inches. In the Upper West Side, Harlem, and Greenwich Village, plan exterior work around conditions that affect access and glass, especially for upper-floor windows.

Older construction and small-building access deserve attention when arranging window cleaning. NYC’s 2023 HVS estimates that 54% of housing units were built before 1947, and 37% are in buildings with fewer than six units. Window cleaning is generally unlicensed, but an insured provider is especially important for ladder or high-rise work. The New York City Department of Buildings handles permits; state rules address code-regulated construction work rather than routine cleaning.
