Stange kitchen layout

I’m with Dave – lazy, thoughtless and cheap renovation. What catches my eye more than the stove is the countertop was not measured correctly, and the reversible hinge on the fridge was not reversed!

​The kitchen layout of this small property looks a little strange to me. I was just wondering if it is okay to have a gas range at the very end of the kitchen. I’ve never seen this layout before, and would think that there should be some buffer if a boiling pot of water spills over. Was wondering if anyone knows if there are any building code violations here. [20180901_112006](//muut.com/u/brownstoner/s3/:brownstoner:9wOW:20180901_112006.jpg.jpg)

I don’t know about building code, but it would drive me nuts not to have a place to put things down next to each side of the stove.

My understanding is that there needs to be 6 inches of counter between the side of the stove and any wall – a previous renovation we did that came up and the architect shot it down. I don’t think you can just have the stove like that, for good reason.

hmm. that’s interesting. the stove in my apartment is right up against a wall… any thoughts on where in the code you might find that?

It looks like there’s enough wall space there to add another cabinet and counter. Just looks like a cheap reno job.
