What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Cudahy
Cudahy's long, narrow lots came from small farm plots, and more than one building may share a parcel today. With about 1 in 7 homes owner occupied, the report labels which structure each flue belongs to, so a landlord cannot mix them up. The 1933 Long Beach quake hit unreinforced masonry around here, while rain from November through April tests what is left of old joints. Dry fall gusts add one more line to check: whether the cap is fastened properly.
