Grill repair in SoHo.

What SoHo does
to a grill.

Its buildings filled with textile firms and dry-goods trade in the 1880s and 1890s, and artists moved into the tall-ceilinged, many-windowed floors in the 1960s.

The city bans barbecuing on sidewalks, streets and commercial property, so a SoHo grill belongs on a residential terrace or yard that meets the Fire Code.

A built-in natural gas grill anywhere in SoHo must be piped by a New York City Licensed Master Plumber under Fuel Gas Code Section 623 and filed by a registered design professional.

Older housing stock

Older neighborhoods often ran gas to the backyard long after the house was built, and a grill on one of those branches can starve when the pipe is too small for its burners, so low flames there are traced back along the supply.

Tower living

Many fire codes and condo rules keep gas and charcoal grills off apartment balconies, so grilling in a tower usually happens at shared amenity-deck grills piped to natural gas, and with so many users their knobs, igniters and grates wear out on a short cycle.

Balconies and small yards

Where a small patio or balcony allows grilling at all, a compact cart grill often stands close to a wall or a railing, and the maker's clearances to walls and overhangs are checked first, since heat on siding does more harm than any failed part.

When a grill
cannot wait in SoHo.

In SoHo as anywhere, these four put the people at the grill in danger and mean the gas stays closed until we come: a gas smell at the grill, the hose or the tank, a grease fire that keeps burning with the knobs down, flame curling out behind the control panel, or a knob that turns to off while the burner stays lit.
