About Upper West Side
The Upper West Side falls within Manhattan Community District 7, with primary ZIP codes 10023, 10024, 10025 and 10069.
The townhouses on the side streets between Amsterdam Avenue and Riverside Drive, like the tall apartment blocks on West End Avenue, went up in the years before the Great Depression.
Riverside Park, laid out from a Frederick Law Olmsted design starting in the 1870s, runs along the neighborhood's Hudson River side next to Riverside Drive.
Parts of Upper West Side are in landmark districts (Riverside Drive-West 80th-81st Streets Historic District, Riverside-West 105th Street Historic District, West 73rd-74th Street Historic District, West 76th Street Historic District). Exterior masonry work on a landmarked building can need approval from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, so we check your address before the work is planned.
We serve Upper West Side homes in ZIP codes 10023, 10024, 10025, 10069.
What This Means for Your Upper West Side Chimney
Shared walls and party chimneys
Attached houses often share a chimney stack with the neighbor, with one flue per home. Smoke or water from next door, a blocked shared cap or a leaning stack affects both houses, so we check the whole stack and every flue before we plan a repair. Read: How Does Repair Work on a Shared Chimney?
