What Brooklyn does
to a microwave.

Where microwaves sit in Brooklyn: older housing stock, mixed housing, apartments and walk-ups.

All of New York Metro

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.

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.

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.

Brooklyn Heights

Small kitchens in brownstones and prewar co-ops set a countertop microwave beside the toaster on the one outlet, and a tripped breaker is a common start to a call here.

DUMBO

Dumbo grew around a ferry landing and is lined with 19th- and early-20th-century factory and warehouse buildings on Belgian block streets.

Park Slope

Park Slope floor-throughs full of families warm food in the microwave all day, and a turntable motor, a worn latch or a sticky touchpad are the calls that come in.

Bay Ridge

Bay Ridge went from summer resort to residential neighborhood after the Fourth Avenue subway line arrived in 1916.

Carroll Gardens

Carroll Gardens owes its look to surveyor Richard Butt's 1846 plan, which set its brownstones back behind deep front gardens.

Cobble Hill

Cobble Hill's row houses began going up as early as 1835, and by 1860 none of the neighborhood's farmhouses were left.

Ditmas Park

Most houses in the Ditmas Park Historic District, built between 1902 and 1914, are large free-standing homes with gables and front porches, rare in a borough of row houses.

Greenpoint

Greenpoint is the northernmost neighborhood in Brooklyn, with Newtown Creek between it and Long Island City in Queens.

Williamsburg

Williamsburg's East River waterfront was a vital industrial district until the mid-20th century.
