It was an apartment but basically you're right. Here are news stories on
it:

Interestingly, the Orthodox can operate a gas stove during yom tov (holiday)
and shabbos as long as there is a pilot light. Electronic igniters are not
to be used. The reason is that Jewish law prohibits starting a fire or
extinguishing one (except to save a life) during these times. If there's a
pilot light the stove can be operated without violating law.
