Pros and cons of induction cooktops + NYC listings with state-of-the-art kitchens

By Michelle Merritt | From Future New York Friday, September 26, 2025

NYC kitchen with induction cooktop (One Domino Square, #31E - Two Trees Management Co. | https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/williamsburg/one-domino-square-8-south-4th-street/185391/31E/XFnLUiDtfhBa)

Earlier this summer, New York State Fire Prevention and Building Code Council unanimously approved an all-electric building standard. This prohibits gas and other fossil fuels in new buildings up to seven stories tall, and commercial and industrial buildings up to 100,000 square feet starting December 31, 2025, and is an important step in enforcing the All Electric Buildings Act passed in 2023. Some have worried that the Trump administration could interfere with this effort to reduce planet-warming emissions, but the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York has already rejected efforts by fossil fuel industry groups to get rid of the new law.

The part of the All Electric Buildings Act that may have attracted the most attention is the fact that gas stoves are banned in New York City under the new requirements. Some home cooks prefer gas stoves for the instant heat and quicker cooldown, the compatibility with various cookware materials, and the ability to successfully navigate various temperatures (e.g., bringing pasta water to a boil while sauce simmers on a separate burner).

However, gas stoves are the largest source of exposure to indoor air pollutants, and have been linked to nearly 20% of asthma cases in New York City children. It is important to note that existing gas stoves will not be ripped out of people's apartments; rather, no more of them will appear in new construction.

New construction buildings are now likelier to embrace electric stoves; or better yet, induction cooktops. These are extremely popular features in Passive House buildings for their energy efficiency, but the environmental benefits are not the only ones.

On induction cooktops, the energy created in an electromagnetic field transfers heat directly into compatible cookware, which allows for faster boiling and cooking. Moreover, because the heat is created from the cookware itself, an empty burner turned on by accident won't get hot and cause fires, injuries, or other disasters. They are also easier to clean, though the generation of heat allows for more precise cooking that cuts down on spatters.

However, there is usually a learning curve for people switching from gas or electric stoves to induction cooktops. Materials that aren't magnetic (e.g. copper and aluminum) won't work on them. Even with the right materials, the intense heating can lead to food cooking faster than some recipes indicate. Finally, some cooks appreciate the visual feedback that comes from turning on a gas burner, but some induction cooktop manufacturers include lighting cues to replicate that.

For some New York City apartment-dwellers, the biggest barriers to induction cooktops are the expense of the appliance and the labor intensity of installation. But if one is already in the apartment, the points are moot. Below, we look at new development condos with induction cooktops in every unit, as well as listings in older buildings where the kitchen has been renovated to include one.
