Connie, what sort of building are you talking about?
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Today, in the Tour de France, one of the riders was HIT by a car (carrying a camera). Unreal.

If you need a referral for the machine and/or installer, I can dig up the information tomorrow.
yes, I would appreciate it. I can deal with not having a disposal, but its draining super slow, and I can't deal with that.

Brownstones, primarily.

If it's a big enough building, then the garbage is in the basement. Maybe your building has a garbage chute. Your building's super or porter leaves the garbage out front. If you're in a brownstone, and there is a basement apartment, then the garbage cans are out front, in some sort of rat-proof container. In any case, the garbage is always left on the street in plastic bags, never cans.

Vortex, my landlord gets in after 1 on Mondays. I'll get the plumber's number and model info to you after that.
I was without a working disposer for a couple of months. It was bad for me on a bunch of levels. I found it really hard to cook. I know that is a 1st world problem of the highest order, but eh, it's a thing.
In dinner news, I'm making a shepherd's pie with mashed cauliflower and ground turkey. It features olives, shredded carrots, peppers and much more. It is smelling reeeaaaallly good.

Do the brownstones butt up against each other or is there an alley of some sort? Or greenspace? I've seen lots of pictures of New York brownstones with gardens.

Brownstones are almost always attached. The garden is in the back yard.

Yeah, generally, the front steps of the brownstone go right to the sidewalk, as do the steps from the basement apartment.

In Brooklyn, a brownstone might be far enough from the curb for a garden out front, but that is never the case in Manhattan.
