Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Glendale
Only about a third of units are detached, but those that are often carry real age, with nearly 3 of every 10 homes dating before 1950. Brick from those years needs its mortar read carefully, while the 1950s and 1960s stacks may hide gas logs. Damage from the 1971 San Fernando quake reached these foothills, and shaken flues do not always show it. Verdugo hillside streets are mapped very high fire hazard, and the dry, sunny summers here get hotter toward the northern end.
Ages on These Streets
Prewar houses on older blocks, then postwar brick and block, with apartments making up most of the units.
What Wears Out First
Old joints and flue tile on prewar brick, with caps and crowns on hillside homes exposed to sun and dry air.
How We Sort It
Quake-related flue damage heads the page, and sun-faded crowns that still shed water are listed below it to plan around.
