Learn MoreWhat we look after in Hawthorne
Aviation jobs built Hawthorne's tracts and bungalows, but apartments dominate today and renters far outnumber owners. Any fireplace in a rental needs one person who knows its condition. Our note goes to that person, written so anyone can follow it. Fasteners and steel caps corrode slowly in this damp marine air, while the Newport-Inglewood Fault lies close on the east side. Rain falls mostly from November through April, so a crack left alone in fall tends to show by winter.
The Houses
Around Hawthorne the stock runs to apartment buildings, with some aviation-era bungalows and tract houses in the mix.
Before the First Fire
Managers should settle which units may burn at all, then book each flue for a look before a tenant starts using it.
Care of the Room
Residents stay informed about when we arrive and what gets moved, and floors are covered from the unit door inward.
Close By
Hawthorne stops sometimes fall alongside Alondra Park, Lennox, Inglewood.
