Chimneys and homes in the 516 area
The 516/363 territory covers Nassau County on Long Island, from Hempstead, Freeport and Long Beach on the South Shore to Garden City, Levittown and Hicksville and the North Shore towns of Great Neck, Glen Cove and Oyster Bay. It is an old housing stock: of about 517,000 homes and apartments, roughly 85% were built before 1980 and 18% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1950s. About 76% are single-family detached houses.
Hempstead is the most populous town in New York State and the largest of the three towns in Nassau County, just east of southern Queens. It had 793,409 people at the 2020 census; its peak was 801,592 in 1970, when it ranked as the ninth largest municipality in the country.
Winters are moderate. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for New York Jfk International Airport, NY show about 4,872 heating degree days a year, a January average of 32.8°F, and about 25.9 inches of snow. Rain and the occasional freeze still work on brick and mortar over the years, so a cracked crown or a missing cap is worth fixing early.
Census figures put utility gas as the main heating fuel in about 60% of occupied homes and heating oil in about 30%. Wood is the main heat in fewer than 2 in 100 homes, so most fireplaces here are for cool evenings, and gas fireplaces and inserts are common. Oil furnaces and boilers vent through a chimney too, and their flues need checking as well. The area falls in IECC climate zone 4A. Whatever the fuel, NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents, calls for a yearly inspection.
