The neighborhood's stately West End Avenue apartment blocks and the townhouses between Amsterdam Avenue and Riverside Drive were mostly built before the Great Depression, in the building boom that followed the 1904 opening of the first subway line. ## What Upper West Side does to a home appliance. Five landmarked historic districts protect blocks between West 73rd and West 105th Streets. Luxury prewar towers along Central Park West, including the Dakota and the San Remo, share the same Con Edison electric grid as the rest of Manhattan, mixing underground and overhead lines. Winters here follow the same Central Park record book as the rest of the borough, with an official low of -15 degrees Fahrenheit. [All of New York Metro](https://appliancemaintenance.center/locations/new-york/) ### Tower living A leak in a tower runs downhill through the neighbors' ceilings, so upkeep there puts supply hoses, the ice maker's water line and the dish-care drain connection first, with the shutoff valve for each one located and turned while nothing is wrong. ### Apartments and small homes In a small kitchen the refrigerator often stands with its back to a wall and its sides boxed in by cabinets, and a maintenance visit there measures the air gap the maker calls for and clears whatever has crept into it before cleaning the coil. ### Older housing stock Plaster walls, floors that are no longer quite level and narrow doorways make an old house hard on appliances, so leveling feet are adjusted, doors are checked for an even seal, and a heavy unit is never pulled out farther than the floor can take. ## A visit in Upper West Side.
