What Upper East Side does
to a cooktop.

In ZIP code 10021 on the Upper East Side, about 73 percent of owner-occupied homes are in buildings of 50 or more units.

About 42 percent of the homes their owners live in there were built in the 1960s, more than in any other decade.

Fuel oil is still the main heating fuel for about 16 percent of owner households in 10021, with utility gas at about 57 percent.

Renters in the ZIP code are likelier than owners to live in prewar buildings: about 35 percent of renter-occupied homes date from before 1940, against about 21 percent of owner-occupied ones.

Tower living

Many condo kitchens recirculate their air rather than vent it outdoors, so grease stays in the room and collects in an induction top's cooling intake under the counter, one reason these tops overheat and shut down mid-cook.

Small kitchens

Small kitchens often fit a 24-inch or two-zone cooktop, and those narrow tops rarely share glass or elements with full-size models, so their parts come through the maker by model number.

Older housing stock

A cooktop set into an older counter often sits in a cutout no current model matches, so repairing the existing top, rather than replacing it, can spare the counter from being recut.
