Not a surprise; a lot of their district heating (steam network) pipes date back to 1920s or earlier. Probably 100-200psig in the pipes. "Black Soot" I don't understand; that is not something that accumulates or flows in steam pipes; it may be dirt and fill entrained with the steam as it escaped to street-level. Asbestos is from the insulation.

It's not just NYC. All the old Northeast cities have crumbling infrastructure under their streets.
