Electrician in Florence Graham, California

Florence Graham is unincorporated and very dense, with older housing and heavy multi unit conversion. LA County handles the permit and Edison the service.

Florence and Graham grew as early streetcar and railroad communities south of downtown, and much of the housing dates from the 1900s through the 1930s. Small wood frame bungalows and cottages sit on narrow lots, many now sharing the parcel with a second or third dwelling built later. Along the Alameda Street corridor on the east side, older industrial buildings and warehouses remain. The residential stock is some of the oldest in the southeast part of the county.

Wiring in homes of this age often includes knob and tube, cloth insulated cable and fused services, sometimes still in active use. Owners call about bringing rear units up to code, splitting billing between households, and replacing old wiring before a sale or remodel. Landlords tend to call when tenants report tripping breakers or flickering lights, and insurance renewals often surface panels or wiring that the carrier will no longer accept.
