What Brooklyn does
to a freezer.

Where freezers sit in Brooklyn: older housing stock, mixed housing, apartments and small homes.

All of New York Metro

Older housing stock

Older houses put the freezer wherever there was room, often a cellar with a floor that slopes toward a drain, and a cabinet standing out of level holds its door slightly open at one corner, a ridge of frost along that edge being the first sign.

Mixed housing

Older freezers are usually manual-defrost and newer ones defrost themselves, so neighbors comparing notes may hear opposite advice about the same frost, and the first question on a visit is which kind of freezer the owner has.

Apartments and small homes

Owners of small homes stock a compact upright to the top shelf, and food packed flat against the back wall blocks the air that should reach the temperature sensor, so a freezer that reads cold while the food softens is checked for airflow before the control is replaced.

Brooklyn Heights

Row houses with a cellar where an upright or chest freezer sits near the boiler and the water meter, and where Sandy's flooding in 2012 left many cellar freezers standing in water.

DUMBO

DUMBO began as a ferry landing, and its East River blocks under the Manhattan Bridge are lined with 19th- and early 20th-century industrial and warehouse buildings.

Park Slope

Brownstones with a garden floor where a family keeps a chest freezer for bulk shopping, and a slow warm-up is noticed only when someone goes down for a package and finds it soft.

Bay Ridge

Bay Ridge runs along the Narrows at the southwest corner of Brooklyn and ends at Fort Hamilton and the Verrazzano–Narrows Bridge.

Carroll Gardens

Carroll Gardens covers about 40 city blocks and takes its name from the unusually deep front gardens of its brownstones, among them the houses on Second Place laid out in 1846.

Cobble Hill

Cobble Hill is a 40-block Brooklyn neighborhood between Brooklyn Heights and Carroll Gardens, and much of its stock of nineteenth-century row houses falls inside the Cobble Hill Historic District.

Ditmas Park

Free-standing single-family houses, many with gables and front porches and most dating from 1902 to 1914, make up the bulk of Ditmas Park's historic district.

Greenpoint

Greenpoint fills the peninsula between the East River and Newtown Creek, where a 2005 rezoning opened the waterfront to high-density residential buildings.
