What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Maywood
Bungalows on tight lots make up most of this nearly built-out city, and many households rent. Old brick is everywhere. Reports keep findings easy to scan, since a landlord may only want to know what cannot wait. Shaking from 1933 and 1987 both reached these streets, so old masonry may have two generations of cracks. Sun and winter moisture take care of the rest, and wood fires can be stopped on alert days from November through February.
