What Brooklyn does
to an ice maker.

Where ice makers sit in Brooklyn: older housing stock, mixed housing, small kitchens and bars.

All of New York Metro

Older housing stock

Older houses often feed the ice maker through a saddle valve clamped onto a copper pipe, a fitting plumbers no longer recommend, and its rubber seal hardens with age until a slow drip at the clamp soaks the subfloor behind the unit.

Mixed housing

Tenants in older rentals often live with an ice maker the landlord bought secondhand, and one missing its filter bypass plug, or fitted with a generic cartridge that does not seat, can leak into the filter housing and down the front of the cabinet.

Small kitchens and bars

Small kitchens rarely have a floor drain or a spare sink tailpiece near an undercounter spot, so a compact ice maker there usually lifts its melt water to the sink with a drain pump, and a pump that quits leaves water pooling in the cabinet base.

Brooklyn Heights

Row houses where the ice maker line often taps into old copper through a saddle valve, and the soft city water is gentle on valves, so most leaks start at the old fitting rather than at the unit.

DUMBO

DUMBO was once mainly a manufacturing district of warehouses and factories that made machinery, paper boxes, spices and Brillo soap pads.

Park Slope

Family brownstones and flats where children draw ice from the door dispenser all day, and chute jams, a clumped bin and a filter long past due are the reasons most families call.

Bay Ridge

Bay Ridge was once the western end of the town of New Utrecht, made up of the villages of Yellow Hook and Fort Hamilton.

Carroll Gardens

Carroll Gardens, about 40 city blocks in size, is named after Charles Carroll, the only Roman Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Cobble Hill

Cobble Hill covers about 40 blocks between Atlantic Avenue, Court Street, Degraw Street and the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway, a name revived for the area in 1959.

Ditmas Park

Ditmas Park stayed rural until the 1890s, when developers such as Lewis H. Pounds began building on former Ditmas family land.

Greenpoint

Greenpoint's residential core was built on farm parcels divided in the late 19th century, while rope factories and lumber yards lined its East River shore.
