What Brooklyn does
to a range hood.

Where range hoods sit in Brooklyn: older housing stock, mixed housing, galley and condo kitchens.

All of New York Metro

Older housing stock

Historic districts often restrict new openings in a street-facing wall, so a range hood in an older house tends to vent through the rear wall or the roof along a run added in some earlier remodel, and that run is checked for grease and blockage.

Mixed housing

A stronger hood bought to replace an old one is often joined to the old, narrower duct, and a hood that roars but moves little air is traced to that duct rather than to the blower.

Galley and condo kitchens

Hemmed in by cabinets on both sides, a compact hood is serviced from below: the filters and the light panel come out, the blower drops through the opening, and the hood stays on its wall unless the mount itself has failed.

Brooklyn Heights

In the city's first historic district a hood duct through the front facade is out of the question, so brownstone kitchens vent toward the back garden or recirculate, often through an under-cabinet hood in a narrow kitchen.

DUMBO

Paint, coffee and sugar, paper boxes and machinery were once made in the 95 contributing buildings of Dumbo's National Register district, listed in 2000.

Park Slope

Floor-through kitchens in Park Slope row houses often vent a hood out the back wall above the garden, and families cooking every night load its grease filters and wear its fan switch faster than the manual expects.

Bay Ridge

Fuel oil still warms roughly 13 in 100 occupied homes in Bay Ridge's 11209 ZIP code, with piped gas in about 70.

Carroll Gardens

Two- to four-unit buildings hold four in ten homes in Carroll Gardens' ZIP code, 11231.

In ZIP code 11201, which includes Cobble Hill, close to six in ten housing units are in structures of 50 or more apartments.

Ditmas Park

Two of every three homes in ZIP code 11226, which takes in Ditmas Park, are in structures of 20 or more apartments.
