our home neighborhood, 1.89 square miles of apartments, condos and houses
West Hollywood is where we are based, and most chimneys here belong to a building rather than a house. In the 2020 census about 80 percent of homes in the city were rented, so the person who calls is often a tenant, an owner of one unit, or a manager looking after the whole building. We write a separate note for each fireplace and send the building's part to whoever runs it.

Beverly Hills shares a border with West Hollywood, so it is often a same-day booking for us. South of Wilshire the work looks like ours at home: duplexes and small apartment buildings with one fireplace per unit. North of Sunset a single house can have three or four, and every one gets its own page.

Brentwood splits two ways for us. South of Sunset there are condo and apartment buildings much like ours in West Hollywood, with gas fireplaces and shared vents. North of Sunset the houses are bigger and often have two or three fireplaces, so each one gets its own line in the report.

Malibu is the far end of our map from West Hollywood, so we plan those days ahead and fit the full visit into one trip. Beach condos along PCH can share a stack, much like our home buildings, and we note each unit on its own. Canyon houses get a close look at the cap and spark arrestor first.

The Palisades Fire in January 2025 destroyed thousands of buildings here, so a Pacific Palisades call is often about a house that survived next to lots that did not, or a new house with a factory-built fireplace that has never been lit. Either way we write down what we saw before anyone lights the first fire.
