Why Hollywood faces water damage risk
Hollywood’s transit-hub density growth is changing the plumbing load on infrastructure that predates it.
Hollywood is a MAX light rail transit hub in Northeast Portland.
The neighborhood is home to the historic Hollywood Theatre.
Denser apartment development has grown near the transit corridor in recent years.
Transit-hub-driven density adds fixture load to a neighborhood grid still served by early-1900s residential plumbing nearby, meaning mixed old-and-new construction shares the same aging municipal main.
