During this weeks earlier rain showers I noticed some wet spots forming on the basement floor (packed dirt/broken concret) at the lowest point on the basement which is basically just aft of the mid line of the house. During today’s deluge, some standing water has accumulated. I believe the water is seeping up from the ground, but would love some input on the matter. It’s not a
lot of water but is the first time this has happened and am obviously alarmed. Could this be a storm drain issue? Ground water problem? Neighbor drainage issue? Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated as well as remedies.

We live in a connected brownstone in Bed Stuy.

thanks in advance
