What Upper West Side does
to a grill.

Urban renewal from 1962 to 1968 brought Lincoln Center and the Lincoln Towers apartments to the neighborhood's southern end.

On an Upper West Side terrace a charcoal grill is legal, yet the same grill is barred from a balcony or roof and needs 10 feet of clearance from the building.

Central Park, the neighborhood's eastern edge, permits barbecuing on only three days a year: Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day.

Tower living

Tower managers usually want the shared grills' gas shutoff tested and their grease trays emptied on a schedule, since a grease fire on an amenity deck affects every resident, and each technician visit is logged with the building.

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.

Older housing stock

Mature trees over older gardens drop leaves and twigs into grill hoods and grease trays, and a tray full of dry debris under a hot firebox is how many grease fires begin, so it is emptied on every visit here.

When a grill
cannot wait in Upper West Side.

In Upper West Side 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.
