What Brooklyn does
to a dishwasher.

Where dishwashers sit in Brooklyn: older housing stock, mixed housing, small kitchens.

All of New York Metro

Older housing stock

Older houses were never plumbed for dishwashers. The one here was added later, often draining into a sink trap and an old galvanized or cast iron line that narrows with age, so a slow drain can live in the house as easily as in the machine.

Mixed housing

Older dishwashers here tend to have mechanical timers and simpler parts that are still worth fixing, while newer ones rely on sensors and electronic controls, so the diagnosis changes from one door to the next.

Small kitchens

A compact or ADA-height dishwasher squeezed into an older cabinet run has little room for its door to swing or its brackets to grip, and a door that will not latch cleanly is often about the opening as much as the latch.

Brooklyn Heights

Row houses this old were plumbed long before dishwashers existed, so the machine usually drains into lines that were adapted rather than designed for it.

DUMBO

The Landmarks Preservation Commission designated DUMBO the city's 90th historic district in December 2007.

Park Slope

Row houses converted to flats often have kitchens stacked one above another, so a dishwasher leak on an upper floor can surface in a ceiling below.

Bay Ridge

The announcement of the subway line set off a wave of row house building in Bay Ridge, with houses sold before they were even finished.

Carroll Gardens

Carroll Park, a block-long green between Court, Smith, Carroll and President Streets built in the late 1840s, is Brooklyn's third-oldest park.

Cobble Hill

Cobble Hill covers about 40 blocks, and none of the farmhouses from its rural period survived the building boom that was nearly complete by 1860.

Ditmas Park

The houses of the Ditmas Park Historic District were built between 1902 and 1914 in styles from Colonial Revival and Craftsman to Queen Anne and Japanese Cottage.
