## The borough is a starting point. The building determines the work.

Old wiring can survive behind renovated rooms, whether the property is a house or an apartment. The electrical assessment needs to establish what is still connected. Its condition matters more than the age of the facade or the neighborhood name.

Each borough page develops a different planning question using local housing evidence. Those are useful contexts, not claims that all buildings in one borough share the same wiring. NYC electrical requirements apply citywide.

## What if your neighborhood is not listed?

We cover the whole of each borough. The neighborhood examples explain why property context matters; they are not the edge of the service area. Tell us the property ZIP code and what prompted the wiring recommendation.

The local research uses construction-age and residential-unit data to choose relevant examples. It does not measure how much active K&T remains in a neighborhood. Only an assessment of the property can establish that installation.

## Having trouble finding someone willing to take it on?

Tell us what another electrician declined. A small repair to retained old wiring can be a different job from replacing the circuit. Sometimes the unresolved issue is access beyond the room where the problem appeared.

Licensed and insured contractors perform the electrical work. We manage the project around the assessed installation, with the responsible contractor and applicable approvals identified before work begins.
