St. Petersburg has some of the oldest housing on the bay. The Old Northeast, Kenwood, Roser Park and Historic Uptown are full of 1910s to 1930s bungalows, and the wiring in them ranges from fully updated to knob-and-tube that was extended rather than replaced. Disston Heights, Crescent Lake and Pinellas Point add mid-century block houses, often still on their original 100-amp service.

Helene in 2024 set a water record at St. Petersburg, and Shore Acres, Snell Isle, Coquina Key and the bay-side streets flooded in houses that had never taken water. Panels, meter cans and outlets that sat in that water were replaced, and the rebuilt equipment had to meet the city's flood elevation. Power here is Duke Energy Florida.
