What Manhattan does
to a range hood.

Where range hoods sit in Manhattan: tower living, older housing stock, galley and condo kitchens.

All of New York Metro

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.

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.

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.

Battery Park City

Battery Park City is built on landfill completed in 1976, and some of that fill came from the construction of the World Trade Center.

Greenwich Village

Across the landmarked blocks of Greenwich Village, more than 50 of them north and west up to 14th Street, a renovation has to leave a building's main façade and character intact.

SoHo

Some 500 buildings on 26 blocks make up the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District, which the city designated in 1973 and enlarged in 2010.

Tribeca

Tribeca loft kitchens with long islands and tall ceilings hang an island range hood on a long chimney or use a downdraft vent, and a duct through a former warehouse to the outside is rarely short or straight.

Upper East Side

Prewar apartments here renovate their galleys under building rules that rarely allow a new hole in the facade, so the range hood often recirculates or joins an old shaft, and the co-op's alteration agreement governs any change to the duct.

Upper West Side

A typical Upper West Side side street is a row of brownstones four and five stories tall.
