New York's 1982 Loft Law legalized the artists' living spaces in SoHo's former manufacturing lofts and gave them rent protection. ## What SoHo does to a dryer. Into the late 2010s SoHo's zoning still reflected its industrial past, so any new residential development there needed a special permit. Building new homes on empty lots inside the historic district was first allowed in 2005. Cast-iron facades were often put up over interiors built of wood and other flammable materials, because cast iron was believed to be fire-resistant.

A dryer that trips its breaker or runs without heat is sometimes reporting on the house's circuit rather than on itself. ### Tower living A dryer in a tower rarely vents straight outside. The exhaust may travel a long horizontal duct to an exterior wall or join a shared riser, and every foot of that run adds resistance that shows up as longer cycles and a hotter cabinet. ### Small homes Small homes put the dryer wherever it fits: a hallway closet, a stacked pair in a kitchen corner, or a 24-inch compact model under a counter. A tight closet starves a dryer of make-up air, and a louvered door or a gap at the bottom can change how well it dries. ## A visit in SoHo.
