What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in West Hollywood
Detached houses are under 1 in 10 here, and about 8 in 10 households rent. A chimney report often lands with a manager of a courtyard building, so each flue is listed by unit, and the brick's reinforcement, or lack of it, is called out. The Hollywood Fault follows the base of the hills, including right through this city, so unreinforced brick gets the closest read. Fire hit the Hollywood Hills to the east in January 2025. Rain in the wet months turns crown cracks into leaks.
