What SoHo does
to a range hood.

New York City has roughly 250 cast-iron buildings left, and SoHo holds the majority of them.

From the 1960s, artists took over SoHo's empty manufacturing lofts for their high ceilings and many windows.

Two of every three housing units in ZIP code 10012 date from before 1940, and fuel oil heats roughly one occupied home in six in census estimates for 2020–2024.

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.

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.

Galley and condo kitchens

In a small kitchen an under-cabinet range hood sits barely above head height and inches over the burners, so its switch, lights and filters take heat and grease that a larger room would spread out.

When a range hood
cannot wait in SoHo.

In SoHo 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.
