What River Forest does
to a stove.

For a Significant Property the commission has 30 days to review an application, or 7 days for windows, and the owner must meet with it, though it cannot block the work.

The village's house styles run from Gothic Revival and Prairie School to Tudor Revival, bungalows, Buurma-built homes, Art Deco and Moderne.

The village's flooding guide names sewer backup, groundwater seepage and yard flooding as the most common kinds its residents face, and links flood safety tips from Nicor and ComEd.

Older housing stock

In an older house the stove may be the last gas appliance left on a line that once fed a furnace or water heater long since replaced, and a weak flame on every burner at once is traced back along that line before the stove is blamed.

Specified kitchens

Classic European stoves with cast-iron hotplates or a French top are kept for decades in these kitchens, and their owners want them repaired rather than replaced, which means parts ordered from the maker by the stove's serial number.

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.
