What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Laguna Woods
Ross Cortese started this community as Leisure World, and low-rise manors still dominate. A unit with a fireplace most likely has a metal or gas system. Since associations control the exteriors, a report speaks to the unit owner and the association both. Rain and Santa Ana gusts do most of the work here, and winter lows stay mild. Regional quakes are felt, though no named one centers in the city. Reports keep this short, listing the cap and any flue issues a manager should know.
