What Manhattan does
to a cooktop.

Where cooktops sit in Manhattan: tower living, older housing stock, small kitchens.

All of New York Metro

Tower living

Without a gas line in most towers, the cooktop is radiant glass or induction, and a top that goes completely dark is often a tripped double-pole breaker in the apartment's panel rather than a failed board.

Older housing stock

Gas to an old kitchen may still run through black iron laid long ago, ending at a shutoff deep in a base cabinet, and the connector between that valve and the cooktop is inspected whenever the top is lifted.

Small kitchens

A compact cooktop often sits beside the sink with barely a hand's width between them, and water splashed onto the glass edge or into the knob openings is a common cause of switches and touch keys that act up.

Construction of Battery Park City's first residential building began in June 1980.

Greenwich Village

Tribeca

Converted warehouse lofts whose open kitchens put an island cooktop or a pro rangetop at the center, with induction in the recent conversions, and the building's freight schedule decides when a part can come up.

Upper East Side

Pre-war co-ops where any kitchen change needs the board's approval, so a gas cooktop on the building's supply, set above a compact oven or drawers, tends to be repaired rather than moved.

Upper West Side

About 76 percent of owner-occupied homes in 10024, an Upper West Side ZIP code, are in buildings put up before 1940.
