Twenty neighborhoods, five boroughs, one kind of building stock

Empire City Air Care works where New York's owner-occupied and small-building stock concentrates: prewar co-ops, brownstones, garden apartments, and the one to four family houses at the city's edges. The map below is the launch map. If your neighborhood is not listed, call Call for same-day help and ask; the honest answer depends on your building and your system, and expansion follows the month-by-month read of where calls actually come from.

Manhattan

  • Upper West Side: prewar co-ops and condos, steam heat, PTAC and sleeve cooling in the classic stock off Central Park West and Broadway.
  • Upper East Side: co-ops and condos east of the park, doorman buildings with strict access, through-wall cooling and building steam.
  • Harlem: brownstones and prewar co-ops, owner-occupied floors over rentals, boilers that serve both.
  • Washington Heights: the founder's home turf, prewar co-ops on the avenues and small buildings on the side streets.
  • Inwood: the workshop's own neighborhood, prewar stock and small multifamily at Manhattan's northern tip.

Queens

  • Astoria: two and three family houses, small apartment buildings, and a sleeve unit in nearly every window bay.
  • Jackson Heights: historic garden co-ops with shared boiler rooms and owners who know their buildings well.
  • Forest Hills: garden apartments, attached houses, and central systems in the Gardens.
  • Ridgewood: rowhouse blocks of two and three family homes straddling the Brooklyn line.
  • Flushing: houses, condos, and small buildings, with mini-splits multiplying across every block.

Brooklyn

  • Park Slope: brownstones and limestones, owner duplexes, hydronic heat and ductless cooling threaded through landmarked walls.
  • Williamsburg: rowhouses, converted industrial buildings, and new condos sharing the same old sewers and steam habits.
  • Greenpoint: frame and brick small buildings, owner-occupied two families, and waterfront condos.
  • Bay Ridge: one and two family houses, small apartment buildings, and furnaces that work alone.
  • Flatbush: Victorian houses in the historic districts, prewar co-ops, and limestone rows.
  • Crown Heights: brownstones and grand prewar co-ops along Eastern Parkway.

The Bronx

  • Riverdale: houses, co-ops, and condos where the Bronx turns almost suburban.
  • Fordham: the Grand Concourse co-op corridor and the small buildings behind it.
  • Pelham Parkway: co-ops and small multifamily along the parkway's green spine.
