What SoHo does
to a commercial appliance.

By the 1950s the district was nicknamed Hell's Hundred Acres, crowded with sweatshops and small factories by day and deserted at night.

Cast iron cost less than stone or brick for a facade, and some SoHo buildings went up in as little as four months.

Since the 1970s SoHo's shops have run from upscale boutiques to branches of national and international chains.

Older housing stock

Restaurants in old buildings often run modern equipment on electrical service and gas piping sized for another era, and a combi oven or a booster heater that trips breakers there is checked against the building's capacity before a part is blamed.

Tower living

A restaurant at the foot of a tower often has its walk-in's condensing unit on a setback roof or a garage level far from the box, and with a line run that long, a slow pull-down on a hot evening is a question for the whole system rather than one part.

Cramped lines and basement kitchens

In a small kitchen a reach-in, a prep table and a fryer often stand shoulder to shoulder, and a cold cabinet boxed in by its neighbors recycles its own hot exhaust until it warms, so clearances and clean coils come first on a visit.

When a commercial appliance
cannot wait in SoHo.

In SoHo as anywhere, these five put the crew, the guests or the product in the building at risk, and they mean the unit stays off, or the food moves, until we arrive: a gas smell on the cooking line, a fryer or grease fire, a walk-in or reach-in above 41°F with food inside, water on the floor near cords or a panel, and a hot electrical or burning smell.

All 17 problems

Gas, fire, food at risk or water near power
