What Battery Park City does
to a range hood.

Construction of the first apartment building on the new land started in June 1980.

When Hurricane Sandy struck on October 29, 2012, water covered the neighborhood's ball fields and parts of West Street.

Electric heat serves about 71 in every 100 occupied homes in ZIP code 10282, where some 94 percent of units are in 50-plus-unit structures.

Tower living

Tower apartments seldom let an owner cut a new opening in the facade, so the range hood recirculates through charcoal or ties into the building's own exhaust, and a hood that stopped clearing smoke often has spent charcoal or a closed damper in that shared run.

Newer developments

Newer houses are built tight, and a hood strong enough to clear a big meal can pull against the house itself; the model residential code asks for make-up air once a hood exhausts more than 400 cubic feet per minute.

On the water

Briny air from the ocean or a bay eats the hinge of a hood's wall cap and the flap behind it, and a damper stuck open lets damp, briny air drift back into the kitchen whenever the fan is off.

When a range hood
cannot wait in Battery Park City.

In Battery Park City as anywhere, these five mean nobody cooks beneath the range hood until a technician has looked at it: a grease fire in the pan or the hood, sparks from the blower or the lights, a hot electrical smell, a breaker that trips, or a hood coming away from the wall or the ceiling.
