Chimney care in the 213 area
Around Los Angeles, Bell Gardens and South Gate, earthquakes, wildfire risk and local burn rules all shape chimney care. Masonry chimneys can crack in a quake, which is why NFPA 211 calls for a Level 2 inspection after an event like that. Many areas have no-burn days or spark arrestor rules; check with your local air district and fire department.
The Census Bureau counts about 1,075,800 homes and apartments in the 213 territory. 75.5% were built before 1980 and 28% before 1940, higher than the California figure of 57.5% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1950s, and 33% of homes are single-family detached houses.
54.7% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 32.8% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.1% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
With 28% of homes built before 1940, many chimneys here are older masonry. Older flues can be unlined or have clay tile liners that have cracked over the years, which a camera inspection of the flue will show.
