What Russian Hill does
to a stove.

The Vallejo Street Crest Historic District, in the southeast part of the hill, is enclosed by a retaining wall and a natural bluff.

In the 94109 ZIP code, which takes in much of Russian Hill, about 61 percent of homes are in buildings of 20 or more units and about 83 percent of households rent.

In the neighboring 94133 ZIP code on the hill's northern slopes, electricity heats about half of occupied homes and utility gas about 37 percent.

Tower living

Moving in or out of a tower is when a stove gets slid forward for cleaning, and one pushed back without its anti-tip bracket engaged is corrected before the technician leaves, since a child leaning on the open oven door can tip it.

Small kitchens

In a tight kitchen the gap beside the stove collects crumbs, grease and the odd dropped spoon, so when the stove must be pulled for a repair it is pulled once, gets cleaned behind and goes back square to the counter.

Older housing stock

An electric stove in an older house may plug into a receptacle that has seen several stoves come and go, and a cord end that runs warm or shows scorch marks at its prongs is a reason to stop cooking until the receptacle has been checked.

When a stove
cannot wait in Russian Hill.

In Russian Hill as anywhere, these five can put gas into the air of the house, start a fire on the stovetop, or leave a burner blazing that its own knob no longer shuts down.
