The buildings and the wiring
Humboldt Park, Chicago is organized around the park itself, North Avenue, Division Street, California, and Kedzie. The buildings are graystones, frame two-flats, and bungalows, with a mix of long-time owners and full gut rehabs. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for service upgrades on Division and North Avenue rehabs, basement apartment circuits, and porch lighting that failed years ago.
How this job is scoped
Two-flats and courtyard buildings need every meter labeled to a unit or to the house lights before new circuits are added. A basement apartment tapped from the upstairs kitchen creates a billing dispute and an illegal load. We map the meters with the owner on site.
Storefronts, commons, and the rest of the block
Beyond the houses, the calls are North and Division storefronts, including grocers and restaurants with compressors and hoods.
Failures we open the same day
Bootleg grounds on old two-prong outlets, and panels with open knockouts in a damp basement, are the hazards we correct first. Call (773) 721-1111.
Before the truck rolls
On a two-flat, both unit owners or the landlord should be there when we label meters. Guessing which meter feeds the stairs is how the wrong unit gets shut off.
Who inspects this address
City of Chicago permits. Multi-unit rehabs need each meter labeled to a unit before inspection, not after the tenants move in.
Bordering areas
Jobs here often sit next to work in Ukrainian Village and Hermosa. One dispatch number covers them: (773) 721-1111. Crews leave from 939 W North Ave.
