What SoHo does
to a refrigerator.

Those buildings were put up for manufacturing and converted to living space later, so a home here is often one open floor rather than a set of rooms.

Kitchens were added into that open floor during conversion, which means the plumbing and power runs were routed to suit the building rather than the plan.

Many of the buildings have one freight elevator and narrow stairs, and the streets outside are cobbled and narrow.

Older housing stock

What is installed here was chosen by a doorway, a stair turn and a cabinet run that were all fixed generations ago. That produces appliances no showroom would recommend and every technician recognizes: narrow, shallow, older than they look, and entirely repairable as long as the part still exists.

Tower living

Water for an icemaker or dispenser has to reach the unit through a riser shared by every floor, and shutting it off for a repair means notifying building engineering rather than turning a valve under the sink — a detail that changes how long even a simple water-valve replacement takes.

Small kitchens

Fitted flush into a run of cabinetry with no toe-kick gap to spare, these units are also the ones most often installed a bubble or two out of level — which by itself is enough to keep a door from sealing and to read on the thermostat as a cooling complaint.
