The South Carthay Neighborhood Association was founded
in 1980 to help to preserve South Carthay’s
enclave of housing as originally designed, and to maintain the quality
of life established in the community. To further preserve the
originality and quality of our community's architecture, members of
the Association worked vigorously with the City's Planning Department
to have South Carthay declared a
Historical Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ ). This designation,
received in 1984, provides specific guidelines for all exterior
architectural design and renovation projects that are initiated
within our community. Please refer to additional information
regarding the HPOZ included within the "Welcome" packet.
Over the years, the Association and its numerous
committees have worked extremely hard to promote and support many
community projects, including local tree planting, graffiti removal
and mitigation of traffic and parking problems.
The South Carthay Neighborhood Association
Communications Committee produces and distributes a periodic
newsletter to all residents ( renters and owners ) to help keep
everyone informed of important localized issues, concerns, and
projects which influence each one of us and our community as a whole.
E-mail notices are also sent to those residents requesting them. To
be included on the e-mail distribution list, send your e-mail address
to Brad S. Kane (KaneLawFirm@aol.com).
To further promote and enhance the safety and security
of our neighborhood, an armed patrol service is available to all
residents for a nominal monthly fee. Please note that the more people
who subscribe to the service, the more hours of patrol we receive.
Contact Security Service Systems for further information (310)
477-2095.
The South Carthay Neighborhood Association is open to
both renters and home owners alike, and we invite you to join.
(See link to membership form on events page) The Association holds
six meetings per year, which are open to all residents. Look for date
and location announcements in the newsletter or on signs in the
neighborhood. Your membership and volunteer participation are vital
elements in the continued success and enhancement of our community.
With your support, South Carthay
will continue to be a special place in which to live.
