What to Know About Near North / Downtown Properties
High-rise condos, converted lofts, and older mixed-use buildings dominate this area, often with shared mechanical rooms, freight-elevator-only equipment access, and building-management approval requirements for any HVAC or major appliance work.
- Building management or HOA approval often required before scheduling
- Freight elevator reservations may be needed for large equipment
- Loading dock access windows vary by building
- Condo association rules may restrict service hours

ComEd for electric service and Peoples Gas for natural gas are standard across the City of Chicago; building-specific utility metering (individual vs. master-metered) should be confirmed before major equipment changes.
