Learn MoreWhat we tell South Pasadena parents
Most of South Pasadena's housing went up between the 1890s and the 1930s, and fewer than half of units are detached. An old apartment or house may keep unreinforced brick, and a family living under it should find out whether it is still sound. Just north, along the edge of the valley, the Raymond Fault is close. Santa Ana gusts can lift a loose cap and bring embers, and rain from November to March shows up failed crowns and flashing as leaks.
Check at Home
If you rent in an old building, ask who may use the fireplace and when it was last looked at, then save the answer.
Kids and Pets
Old hearths often have uneven tile that trips new walkers, so lay a soft rug nearby, well outside the reach of sparks.
What We Look At First
