Washington Heights' building stock — and what it asks of an electrician
Washington Heights is dominated by large pre-war apartment buildings climbing the hilly terrain, with the Hudson Heights pocket and scattered rowhouses. The work is overwhelmingly pre-war apartment electrical in elevator and walk-up buildings, plus busy ground-floor commercial.
- Pre-war apartment work in-unit rewiring, dedicated circuits, and fuse-to-breaker conversions coordinated with managing agents.
- Riser and building-system work shared electrical infrastructure in the big buildings — multi-family electrical.
- No-neutral switch boxes plaster-walled pre-war boxes needing Lutron Caseta or smart dimmers.
- Storefront and restaurant electrical the dense Broadway and St. Nicholas commercial strips — commercial electrical.
