The buildings and the wiring
Lakewood-Balmoral, Chicago is organized around the small pocket between Foster and Bryn Mawr, from Clark Street west toward Ashland. The buildings are tight two-flats and courtyard blocks, with rear porches and basement panels that were never meant for central air. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for laundry-room circuit splits, porch and stair lighting, and panel labeling after years of landlord additions.
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 few storefronts; most calls are the buildings themselves, plus the Clark Street edge shared with Andersonville.
Failures we open the same day
A porch circuit that dies, or a dryer that trips the upstairs kitchen, is the call we get from this pocket. 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. On a two-flat, the owner and the tenant often disagree about which meter feeds the stair lights. We map that before we open the panel.
Bordering areas
Jobs here often sit next to work in Andersonville and Edgewater. One dispatch number covers them: (773) 721-1111. Crews leave from 939 W North Ave.
