Homes in 95110: what they're like and what they need

Electrical panel check before an EV charger or heat pump

45% of homes here were built before 1980, when panels were often sized for much less load. Check yours before adding big electric items.

Lead-safe painting and remodeling

About 45% of homes here are older than 1978. Painters and remodelers working on them must follow EPA lead-safe rules (RRP certification).

Older pipes and sewer lines

39% of homes here are from the 1950s or earlier, when galvanized supply pipes and clay or cast-iron sewer lines were common. A camera inspection of the sewer line is cheap insurance.

Original furnace, AC and water heater

40% of homes here were built since 2000. Water heaters usually last 8-12 years and furnaces and AC 15-20, so many original systems are due now.

Roof and gutters before the rains

Half the homes here were built before 1986. Most roofs last 20-30 years, so many are on their second or third. Clean gutters and a roof check before winter storms prevent most leaks.

Rentals: faster repairs for landlords

60% of homes here are rented. Landlords and property managers can give tenants a repair link that goes straight to their go-to pro.
