What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Covina
Most Covina houses are 1950s and 1960s ranches, with attached housing lining the main corridors. The report is sorted accordingly: a single-flue summary for a detached house, or a per-unit list when a condo or apartment group asks for one. Hard freezes are uncommon on these streets, so frost is a minor player and dry fall gusts matter more for caps. Older masonry in this valley took damage in 1987 at Whittier Narrows, a reason to photograph every joint.
