During a recent home inspection in Rosedale Queens, I found the stove was too close to the wall, and even though tile is great as a heat barrier, wiring could exist in this wall and would be subject to intense heat from cooking near the wall - especially with two burners in operation. This is a common mistake that people who want maximum counterspace do, and its obviously not an easy repair. This is one of the many defects found in a home, and is why you need a trained eye to spot issues like this. Don't be ridiculous, call Meticulous at 631 902 6761. Since 2005 we have inspected thousands of homes, and we can do the same for you!
