What Upper West Side does
to a freezer.

Its growth picked up after the Ninth Avenue Elevated arrived in the 1870s and Columbia University moved to Morningside Heights in the 1890s.

Between 1962 and 1968 urban renewal replaced tenement blocks with Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and the Lincoln Towers complex.

July 1993 at Central Park, on the neighborhood's eastern side, brought 20 days of 90°F or more and three straight days of 100°F or higher from July 8 to 10.

Tower living

Defrost water from a freezer column in a condo has one route, a tube to a pan above the floor, and if that tube clogs the overflow runs under the cabinets toward the apartment below, so a small puddle at the toe kick is treated as urgent in a tower.

Apartments and small homes

In a small apartment the freezer is often a compact upright in a closet or a hallway nook, where the heat it gives off through its walls or rear coil has nowhere to go, and a closet door kept shut all day turns that nook into a warm box the compressor never catches up with.

Older housing stock

In a cellar the freezer shares the air with a boiler in winter and damp foundation walls in summer, so it meets two different rooms in one year, and a unit that ran fine in January and struggles in July is sorted between the room and the part.
