Brooklyn Heights row houses bring appliances in through a front stoop or a garden-level door, and an installation there measures both routes, since a heavy unit that cannot turn inside the narrow hall above may go in more easily from below. ## What Brooklyn Heights does to an appliance. Brooklyn Heights is known for low-rise architecture and brownstone rowhouses, most of them built before the Civil War, much of it inside the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District. The neighborhood sits on a plateau atop a high bluff that rises sharply from the East River's edge, once called Ihpetonga, "the high sandy bank," by the Lenape before Dutch settlement. Ferry service to Manhattan starting in 1814 turned Brooklyn Heights into one of the city's premier residential addresses within decades, and several of its streets are still named for the early real-estate developers who laid them out.

In Brooklyn Heights as anywhere, these five signs follow a connection that is not safe to run on, so the new appliance stays off until the hookup is put right: gas in the air after the gas connector went on, water on the floor after a supply or drain connection, a burning smell or a tripped breaker on the very first run, and a laundry exhaust that is crushed, pulled loose or blowing lint into the room.
