Irvine homes and what breaks
Irvine was built out by the Irvine Company as a master plan of villages starting in the 1960s, and most neighborhoods are governed by HOAs. Renters occupied 55.3% of Irvine's homes in the 2020 census, so a lot of jobs are small, landlord-approved fixes in apartments and condos rather than big projects. HOA rules usually cover anything visible outside, so exterior work (gates, fixtures, cameras) should match the community's standards.
