Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in San Marino
Almost 7 in 10 homes predate 1950, the oldest mix on our list by a wide margin. Period Revival houses, some designed by Wallace Neff, have brick that may be lightly reinforced or not reinforced at all, so the stack's connection and flue tile come first. Shaking from Whittier Narrows was hard here in 1987, a real test for unreinforced brick. Hot summers and cool winter nights keep crowns moving, and on No-Burn days, a wood fire has to wait regardless of the chimney's condition.
Ages on These Streets
Period Revival houses dominate; 93 percent of homes predate 1980, and almost all of them are detached.
What Wears Out First
Wall ties and old flue tile on unreinforced stacks, then crowns worn by long summers and sudden winter chills.
How We Sort It
An old Revival stack can have a long list, so we rank it: structure and flue, then water, then finish.
