Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Oxnard
Bungalows near Heritage Square and early homes in the Henry T. Oxnard Historic District are the oldest here, and only about half of units are detached. A marine climate keeps that brick damp, so the roof photos go to crown wear and to rust on whatever metal remains. A frequent marine layer and mild year-round temperatures keep metal damp and crowns slow to dry. The soft ground of the Oxnard Plain can shake hard, with faults like the Oak Ridge system in the region.
