Reqd distance of sink to riser

no that actually is a long walk. the worst in the terrace really. south or west of that intersection and you would use the fort hailton stop; north of there and you would use the 15th street stop. so pretty much you cant live anywhere in the WT and be further from a stop than you are here...
...its sort of like PPW and 2nd: great area but all trains are equally far away....

I want to love this apt for sure, but I find myself looking for a way to stick in a conventional stair somehow (and at what price)...so assume 50K off for stair replacement, and maybe this baby goes for 400k. this means all in = 450K = 700/sf.....maybe?

There are several units on the market at 916 Union....why so many on the market at once, Im wondering aloud.....I went to look at the one that went into contract; liked the view and the elevator, but couldnt get past the settled sloping floors...i imagine every unit in the building is tilted this way, toward the center of the building. dealbreaker for me...

So on the open kitchen, you do not need to have a duct as long as there is a window within a certain distance right? That presumably includes even the adjacant living room window? And whats the distance? 30 feet?
Thanks, Ive been trying to figure this one out...

Solve all problems.

Hire me. I will undoubtledy improve upon the design of someone who couldnt figure out how to achieve a generous let alone minimal code compliant headheight for a basement. And given every other regard that we will undoubtedly improve upon the original "desgin" we will also end up with a substanitally different design, therey bypassing all legal issues.

After that, you may consider suing the original architect for professional negligence.

Thanks,

woah. that sounds cool.
whats throwing me off is how narrow it is. Otherwise, given the elegant shape and fine finish work, I would have guessed it was an old-school indoor pool? Maybe someone had a carp or koi collection?

pictures would be great to see!

wow.
sorry jp2. didnt know a post on brownstoner would ruin your day so.
or even cause tourettes syndrome.
In any case, your post makes no sense. The difference between moving a sink 2' or 6' is probably going to be driven 1st by my desire to layout a kitchen better, and 2nd by whether code allows this length of piping, but less likely by monetary issues or structural (WTF?) issues. Perhaps you think four linear feet of pipe costs a fortune and is such incredible load on the structure that I should consider underpinning the foundations, but I can assure it is neither. If you were a plumber you would know this, so as CMU guessed, Im thinking you're not. Now put down the beer and go try to find a job young man...

Thanks Dave,

What I and CMU meant is that if you ran a horizontal vent pipe from the vent riser to the sink then the sink-to-vent distance would be minimal. is this not possible?

Also another seperate question, if you know?

I keep reading that kitchen's dont necessarily need a exhaust vent if the back of the kitchen is within 30 feet of an operable window. I cant seem to find this in NYC code though...

are you able to confirm?

Thanks again!!!

Dave,

Thats interesting. So if I want to extend up to 10' off of the vent I could upsize my pipe to a 4" dia. even if code otherwise doesnt require a pipe that wide....

Good point by CMU about just extending the vent as well....

Guess plumbers don't have to have tact. Oh, but you're not even one, so what's with this snarky response?

I've heard that there is a string of houses along Henry St in Cobble Hill that have/had underground tunnels connecting them. In the good ol' days, they were used for escape in the event one of the houses were raided.
