Read the ruleThe Rulebook in Anaheim
Apartments are plentiful, houses are under half the count, and many from the 1970s have metal flues. Anaheim Hills homes are larger with roofs that need care, and a metal cap there is not something to swap with a hardware store part. Santa Anas blow especially hard through Santa Ana Canyon and into Anaheim Hills, loosening caps quickly. Chino Hills and La Habra both shook the city, so old flues deserve a look before winter rain.
Who Decides Here
Rule 445 exempts wood-only and low-income homes, while a metal fireplace follows its own listing for allowed parts and cap types.
Most Common Flag
A cap torn loose in canyon wind and put back in place with screws that the listing never allowed.
What the Air Does
Santa Ana Canyon funnels wind into the Hills, so a fastener that would last elsewhere fails far sooner here.
Typical Houses
Write-ups in Anaheim usually cover 1970s stucco homes in Anaheim Hills, apartments, tract houses, and 1970s metal fireplaces.
