Learn MoreWhat we look after in Cudahy
Cudahy lots were carved long and thin for small farm plots, and now they often carry several rentals. Only about 1 in 7 households owns, and whoever does should know which units have working fireplaces. We give a separate answer for each. Early-summer low cloud and warm weather with almost no frost go easy on brick here. The real question is structural, since the 1933 Long Beach quake showed what shaking does to old unreinforced stacks around the southeast basin.
The Houses
Around Cudahy the stock runs to narrow, deep lots with an older house up front and added rental units behind.
Before the First Fire
If a fireplace in a rear unit has gone unused for years, treat it as unknown and have the flue looked at before any fire.
Care of the Room
Tenants may have a whole household in one room, so we shift as little as possible and keep covers tight against the hearth.
Close By
Cudahy stops sometimes fall alongside Florence, Walnut Park, South Gate.
