Santa Monica homes and water damage
Ocean Park and Sunset Park have 1920s–1950s bungalows and Spanish homes with raised foundations. North of Montana has larger homes, and much of the city has older rent-controlled apartment buildings. Rent-controlled buildings often have decades-old supply lines, water heaters and drain stacks shared by many units, so a single failure can affect several households.
