What Cook County does
to a stove.

Where stoves sit in Cook County: older housing stock, specified kitchens, mixed housing.

All of Chicago

Older housing stock

Buyers of an older house often inherit the stove that came with it and ask one thing first: is it worth keeping? A visit answers by lighting every burner, heating the oven and looking at the gas connector before any money goes to a new stove.

Specified kitchens

A slide-in stove between custom cabinets overlaps the counter at its edges, so it is drawn out with care and pushed back with the gaps kept tight, and a stove that rocks or sits proud of the counter afterward is leveled on its feet.

Mixed housing

Mixed neighborhoods set rentals beside owner-occupied houses, so a stove repair may be booked by a landlord for a tenant one day and by an owner who has cooked on the same stove for decades the next.
