What Forest Hills does
to an ice machine.

The West Side Tennis Club built the Forest Hills Stadium, with about 13,000 seats, in 1923, and the U.S. Open was played in the neighborhood through 1977.

Austin Street, the main commercial street in Forest Hills, has many restaurants and chain stores.

After a 2006 blackout in Queens, public officials criticized Con Edison for its record in restoring service to customers.

August's record for 90°F days at Central Park is 15, set in 1980.

Mixed housing

On a mixed street storefronts change hands, and an ice machine left behind by a past tenant may have gone years without cleaning, so a new owner's first visit covers a full sanitize, a new filter and a check of the drain.

Family houses

Children reaching into the bin with a cup instead of the scoop is how an ice machine at home picks up germs and slime, so households with kids keep the scoop outside the bin and clean the machine on the schedule its maker sets.

Small cafes and back bars

Small cafes and studio apartments often set an ice machine beside other equipment that throws heat, an espresso machine or a bottle cooler, and the warmth those neighbors add can cut a small machine's daily ice by a noticeable share.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Forest Hills.

In Forest Hills as anywhere, these four call for the ice machine to be shut down and left that way for our visit: water spreading from it or its drain across a walkway or toward an outlet, a burning or hot electrical smell, a breaker that trips when it starts, or a hiss or gas smell at a machine charged with flammable R-290.
