What Brooklyn does
to a wine cellar cooling unit.

Where wine cellar cooling units sit in Brooklyn: older housing stock, mixed housing, closet and stair cellars.

All of New York Metro

Older housing stock

Older houses with stone or brick basements make natural cellars that stay cool, but old masonry wicks moisture from the ground, so a cooling unit there often battles damp and mold more than heat, and the room's vapor barrier is checked first.

Mixed housing

Where the older half of a mixed block keeps its cellars downstairs, a basement cellar may share air with a furnace room, and a path left open around ducts and pipes lets warm air in, so the room check looks for gaps wherever something crosses the cellar wall.

Closet and stair cellars

Every opening of a small cellar's door swaps a large share of its air, and a door without a sealed threshold lets the house's warmth in all day, so weatherstripping and a door sweep come before anything inside the unit.

Brooklyn Heights

Brownstones with basement rooms that already stay cool, where a small through-the-wall unit tops up the cooling in summer, and the unit's exhaust into an old boiler room or laundry is what most often goes wrong.

DUMBO

Warehouses and factory lofts from the 1800s and early 1900s grew up around what had been a ferry landing on the East River.

Park Slope

Brownstones and limestones where families dig out the cellar level, and a wine room down there shares space with the boiler and old stone foundation walls that let moisture in unless the vapor barrier is done with care.

Bay Ridge

In 1848 Third Avenue through Yellow Hook, the future Bay Ridge, was widened, and two years later artists founded a colony there called Ovington Village.

Carroll Gardens

Draining the Gowanus Creek marshes in the late 1860s set off a building boom in Carroll Gardens, and the city created its historic district in 1973.

Cobble Hill

Cobble Hill’s rowhouses are mostly Greek Revival and Italianate, and its brownstones were being restored again by about 1950.

Ditmas Park

The Ditmas family’s land stayed rural until the 1890s, and the Ditmas Park Historic District joined the National Register in 1983.

Greenpoint

Greenpoint’s shipyards built the ironclad USS Monitor, and by 1875 the neighborhood held some 50 oil refineries.

Williamsburg

Cornelius Vanderbilt and Jim Fisk built shore-side mansions in Williamsburg during its industrial heyday in Brooklyn’s Eastern District.
