Flooding basements?

Looking at an apartment in this area with a basement that the landlord says flooded a few years ago (during Ida I think?), so if we take it and keep anything downstairs they cannot be held liable for damages.

I’ve also read that in the past year or two the city added more drainage around knickerbocker.

So is it a bad idea to take it? Has the extra drainage helped?

How much do basements in this area flood? Is it usually just a couple inches or we talkin feet? If the basement floods will anything plugged in be toast? Does the power usually go out or get turned off if places are flooding?

Would love any and all info about your flooded basement if you’ve dealt with this, don’t want to regret this otherwise amazing apt 🙏
