What Hancock Park does
to an ice maker.

Hancock Park has been under a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone since the City Council approved one in 2008, and HPOZ signs are posted in the neighborhood.

Just over half of Hancock Park's housing units, 52.7 percent, are rented, among them apartment houses like the El Royale and the Ravenswood from around 1930.

Central Los Angeles communities such as Hancock Park receive LADWP water from three sources: the aqueduct, the State Water Project and local groundwater.

Older housing stock

Older houses often feed the ice maker through a saddle valve clamped onto a copper pipe, a fitting plumbers no longer recommend, and its rubber seal hardens with age until a slow drip at the clamp soaks the subfloor behind the unit.

Designed kitchens and bars

Where the undercounter ice maker's drain was taken to a hidden standpipe to keep the cabinetry clean, the trap and the air gap are easy to forget, and a smell from the bin or a slow drain after a remodel often comes from a hose sagging behind the panel.

Mixed housing

When an old kitchen is updated but its plumbing is not, a new ice maker is hooked to an old shutoff that may not close fully, so the valve is tested before any work starts and replaced if it cannot stop the flow.
