Upper East Side apartments run from prewar co-ops to postwar towers, and building rules often limit when a technician may work and whether a dryer can be vented at all, so maintenance there is booked through the building and centers on the filters, seals and screens inside the unit. ## What Upper East Side does to a home appliance. Housing here runs from Gilded Age mansions and townhouses that once lined Fifth Avenue to the apartment towers that only began replacing them after 907 Fifth Avenue went up in 1916, plus later mid-century blocks such as Manhattan House. Five separate city historic districts sit inside the neighborhood, from the small 1967 Treadwell Farm district to the 2014 Park Avenue Historic District, so exterior repair rules can change from one block to the next. Power runs on Con Edison's mixed underground-and-overhead grid, the same system serving the rest of Manhattan, with one of the highest shares of buried line in the country. Central Park's official record high of 106 degrees Fahrenheit applies to this neighborhood too, and summer humidity here runs as high as anywhere in the city.
