Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any West Hollywood building — blocked outlets cause more deterioration here than the storms themselves. Checking the attic after the first heavy rain in West Hollywood finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. Two visits a year keeps a West Hollywood roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings following the first heavy storm. That is as true in West Hollywood as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
