Realistically, older Culver City buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one. That is as true in Culver City as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Put simply, streets in Culver City that were built out together tend to require roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block.
