From classic brownstones to modern high-rise condos, Manhattan residences rely on vertical trash and linen chutes to keep daily life tidy. When those chutes clog, leak, or corrode, odors spread fast and fire codes are put at risk. CountBricks has turned this high-stakes niche into a streamlined residential service, pairing on-site field expertise with AI-driven estimating to deliver precise, disruption-free solutions.
• Health: Unclean chutes harbor bacteria, mold, and pests that threaten indoor air quality.
• Safety: Grease and lint build-up create fire hazards that violate NYC residential codes.
• Property value: Well-maintained chutes protect walls, shafts, and compactors from costly structural damage.
1. Corroded galvanized panels that allow leaks into adjacent units

If more than 30 % of a chute shows metal loss greater than 1/16″, patchwork fixes fail fast. CountBricks engineers can generate side-by-side replacement versus repair budgets so boards can make data-driven decisions.
• Schedule a light brushing every six months instead of a heavy annual clean
• Install ozone deodorizing fans at the chute base for continuous odor control
• Replace door gaskets the moment they stiffen to maintain fire-rated integrity

A 12-story prewar co-op contacted CountBricks after recurring hallway odors and two failed annual inspections. Within eight minutes of the board president’s call, our AI engine produced a 14-line estimate outlining:
• 120 linear feet of chute descaling and sanitizing
• Replacement of 24 fire-rated hopper doors
• Installation of an ozone deodorizer at the compactor
The board approved online, and technicians arrived the next morning. All work finished in 11 hours—one full business day—without disturbing residents. Post-service testing showed airborne bacteria counts down 87 %, and the building passed its FDNY re-inspection the same week.
• Rapid voice-driven estimating eliminated scheduling delays typical of multi-bid processes.
• Pre-fabricated door kits, sourced automatically through CountBricks supply APIs, cut material wait times from two weeks to 48 hours.
• Digital documentation attached to the CountBricks.com/client-hub now serves as compliance evidence for future audits.
