That question doesn't seem great. People who've spent more time in NYC will likely perform better, since they'll immediately start describing classes of buildings where they've spent time and generalizing, but how familiar you are with NYC is irrelevant to the job.

Depending on your applicant pool, that might be correlated with a protected class, like race, gender, or national origin.

I don't think classes of buildings are that imporant. Just multiply the resident population by the number of windows per person. Just throwing a number out there, I'd estimate something like 10 windows per resident, counting residential and commercial.
