What 1955 tells you about the pipe in Hawthorne
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel still the norm, with copper appearing towards the end of the decade. A house from these years may have had part of its supply replaced and part left alone, which is why pressure can be fine in one bathroom and poor in another. More on 1950s supply pipe.
87% of occupied homes in Hawthorne are owner-occupied, 5 points above the NY figure of 82%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
