Inwood's casement windows never agreed to hold an air conditioner.
Inwood's Art Deco co-ops are the neighborhood's pride — and their crank-out casement windows are the reason so many of those apartments still face summer with fans.
The casement problem, solved properly.
A casement window cannot hold a conventional window unit, and the improvised answers — portable units venting through contorted panels, sashes compromised with filler — insult both the apartment and the architecture. The clean solution is ductless: a quiet head high on the wall, a compact outdoor unit in the position the co-op designates, and the casements left to do what they were designed for. We run these projects through Inwood's boards with full alteration paperwork, and in buildings where several shareholders want the same work, we coordinate the installations so the building reviews one well-documented approach instead of five improvisations.
The neighborhood's buildings.
Inwood's co-ops also need their owner-side care — steam plants serviced for the heat season, common equipment maintained — and the hillside's walk-ups and small buildings get the same scheduled attention, planned in advance from Clifton with proposals in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Inwood questions, where the casement windows never agreed to hold an air conditioner.
What cooling works in an Inwood apartment with casement windows?
Ductless, almost always. It needs no window at all — a wall head inside, a small outdoor unit where the building allows, and a modest wall penetration the board reviews in the alteration package. The casements stay intact and operable.
Can neighbors in the same building coordinate installations?
Yes, and buildings prefer it. A shared specification — same equipment family, same routing logic, same exterior treatment — gives the board one standard to approve and keeps the facade coherent.
