State Specific Question About: NEW YORK (NY)

I have an older house. There was a leak in the ceiling which seemed to be coming from the window area when it rained. After much thought I had siding put on the house and new windows on the side where the leak seemed to be coming from. I rented the apartment thinking I had solved the problem. By some miracle I really have nice tenants so far but the last rain storm the same leak happened again. Any feed back would be appreciated. There are no pipes upstairs in this area. I cannot figure it out. Thankyou for any ideas anyone may have.. --96.232.xxx.xx

Without pics it's tough to narrow.

Roof leak? , soffit / fascia installed properly?

Are the gutters draining properly? The could be clean on top but clogged underground - had that cause a leak by a window once. Your best bet is to look at it during a pouring rain to see if there's an obvious cause... showing you where the water is going.

Perhaps the window isn't flashed properly? --108.218.xxx.xx
