Lakeview
Dense three-flats and courtyard buildings a few blocks off the lake. Shared risers, older gas service and a lot of hoods ducted through a long horizontal run before they ever reach outside air.
What a visit here usually involves
Burner work dominates here. Older service and long internal runs mean supply pressure is worth measuring rather than assuming, and orifices in these kitchens see more spill and more scale than the same burner five miles out. Where a building has multiple units on one riser, we will say so and put the pressure reading in writing, because that is the document an association actually acts on.
