They are on the Jersey side. No industrial plant I know of in New York has sirens.

Other than fire sirens (which many volunteer FDs have) and the aforementioned Orthodox sirens, the only sizeable systems I know of in the state that aren't for a college campus are as follows:

- Indian Point: Well over 100 ATI HPSS32s and a few HPSS16s throughout Westchester, Putnam, Orange and Rockland Counties
- Schoharie County: 17 Whelen Vortexes and 3 WPS4000s downstream of NYC's Schoharie Reservoir for dam warnings
- Saratoga/Warren Counties: Several dam sirens downstream of the Conklingville Dam. Installation in progress, I think they're Federal Signal DSAs but cannot confirm.
- Oswego County: ASC T-128s that recently replaced Thunderbolt 1003s. Nuclear plant sirens.
- Monroe/Wayne Counties: 96 sirens around Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, mostly ACA Howlers, but a few Banshees and ASC T-128s in there as well.

As you can probably ascertain, only one is in the NYC metro area and one other has something to do with NYC's water supply system, but is over 100 miles from the city itself.

That unknown Bed-Stuy siren appears to be an ASC T-112.

I was in New York for a long weekend to visit my brother and his wife, as well as my new nephew for the first time! On our drive in, I saw one of the 2905s in Brooklyn. This one is located right along I-278.

This is a great topic, I wondered what NYC might have. I wonder why there's a Noise law prohibiting civil defense sirens? I don't think the city is known for being a very quiet, tranquil place to begin with.
sincerely yours, a weird siren obsessed deer 🦌

Leaving NY today. I thought it was a 2805 when I went past, but I am glad to see I'm corrected!

Surely there has to be some old CD sirens on buildings throughout town?
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.
