yes, but old neighborhood, especilly on the east coast have really old tunnels. Tunnels in horse and buggy days joined warehouses and buildings commonly. I put a bunch of that info (videos) in the comments to this post. Older neighborhoods have more likelihood to have tunnels than newer ones.

In NYC I got to explore under warehouse area, of westside Hudson street. It is very old from the tall ship warehouse days. A hole in a basement wall lead to an expansive are that was a partially buried hotel or apartment lobby. It was half full of rubble and bricks with planks across to walk to other tunnels. Staircases going up (sealed off) and ornate ceiling. The street has been elevated about 8 or 10 feet over the years so the place was once a ground floor but is now a basement. When you talk to construction works and sewer workers you hear all kinds of stories about hidden underground passages.
