The buildings and the wiring
Hyde Park, Chicago is organized around 53rd Street, Harper, Hyde Park Boulevard, and the University of Chicago campus edge. The buildings are greystones, courtyard buildings, and mid-rises, with a mix of owner-occupants and rentals. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for greystone rewires, campus-edge rental repairs, and 53rd Street restaurant or retail circuits.
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 53rd Street’s commercial strip, including cafes and shops in older mixed-use buildings.
Failures we open the same day
A rental with a missing cover and a scorched receptacle should be off until the device and the box are replaced. 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. Courtyard buildings near the campus often have a locked meter room and a management company in another state. We get access before we promise a panel date.
Bordering areas
