What Brooklyn Heights does
to a microwave.

The median housing unit in ZIP code 11201, which covers Brooklyn Heights, was built in 1956.

Most of its brownstone row houses were built before the Civil War, and much of the neighborhood is a National Historic Landmark District.

From the river's edge the ground climbs steeply to a flat-topped bluff, then falls away gently inland.

In ZIP code 11201, 40 percent of housing units predate 1940, while 35 percent were built in 2000 or later.

Older housing stock

Older houses run the kitchen on circuits laid out long before microwaves, and a unit that trips the breaker or dims the lights on start may be healthy on a circuit that is not; the circuit is measured first.

Apartments and walk-ups

Small kitchens have few outlets, and a microwave sharing a power strip with the toaster and the kettle trips breakers and strains its own fuse, so the visit looks at the outlet before the unit.

Mixed housing

Older houses on a mixed street often keep a countertop microwave on the one kitchen outlet, while newer ones give the hood combination its own circuit, and that difference explains many breakfast-time breaker trips.

When a microwave
cannot wait in Brooklyn Heights.

In Brooklyn Heights as anywhere, these five mean the microwave stays switched off until a technician has seen it: sparks or a flame inside, smoke behind the window, a burning smell, a breaker that drops, or a door that no longer seals.
