The Atkinson House on the Vallejo Street Crest, built in 1853, is among the oldest houses still standing in San Francisco. ## What Russian Hill does to an ice machine. Lombard Street's switchback block between Hyde and Leavenworth, built in 1922 to tame a 27 percent grade, draws so many visitors that this corner of the hill is often crowded. Visitors also ride the cable car along Hyde Street, which is lined with restaurants and shops. NOAA's normals for downtown San Francisco count about 18 days a year at 80°F or warmer, roughly half of them in September and October. [All of San Francisco Bay Area](https://icemachinerepair.center/locations/bay-area/) ### Tower living Building rules usually send an ice machine's drain to a floor sink or a standpipe through a long run of pipe, so a slow drain in a tower is found by following that line and its air gap, not by pulling the machine out of its opening. ### Small cafes and back bars Behind a narrow bar the undercounter ice machine is boxed in by coolers and a sink, and an air-cooled unit forced to breathe its own warm exhaust runs long cycles and drops thin cubes, so the clearance at its front grille is checked before the sealed system. ### Older housing stock Older wiring may put an ice machine's compressor on a circuit shared with other bar equipment, and a breaker that trips each time the harvest starts is left off and reported rather than reset again and again; at a burning smell, switch the breaker off. ## A visit in Russian Hill.
