Electrolux Stove Repair in Midtown, NY

Postwar apartment towers are the backbone of residential Midtown. Murray Hill, Kips Bay, Midtown East and the Third and Second Avenue corridors are lined with large white brick and red brick buildings built from the 1950s through the 1970s, with efficient layouts, through wall air conditioner sleeves and small galley kitchens that were designed as compact by intent. These buildings house enormous numbers of people, they are professionally managed, and their apartment kitchens tend to share a handful of standard footprints, which means the same twenty four inch dishwasher and slim depth refrigerator problems recur building after building.

Chelsea and Flatiron bring a completely different stock. Here you find loft conversions in former warehouse and manufacturing buildings, prewar apartment houses, the enormous prewar block of London Terrace, and the wave of architecturally ambitious condominiums built along the High Line in West Chelsea. Gramercy adds low rise nineteenth century townhouses and prewar co-ops around one of the last private parks in the city. Kitchens in these buildings run from beautifully renovated open plans with integrated appliances to original prewar layouts that have been updated in place without ever gaining more square footage.

Hell's Kitchen, the Theater District and Sutton Place round out the range. Hell's Kitchen is still the most mixed part of Midtown, with nineteenth century tenement walk ups and small prewar buildings sitting between newer rental towers and large complexes serving the performing arts community. Sutton Place, at the opposite end, is quiet, residential and dominated by prestigious prewar co-ops with staffed lobbies, service entrances and river views. In one service area we cover walk up apartments with compact ranges, mass produced postwar galley kitchens, and prewar co-ops with butler pantries and built in refrigeration.
