Flood

FEMA maps place 1729 E 23rd St in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 3 flood claims nearby since 1993.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective August 17, 2025 · OpenFEMA NFIP redacted claims and policies, as of September 2026

Values are read at the parcel center point; flood claims are located to the census block group, not this parcel; lenders make the official flood determination.

Wildfire

The area around 1729 E 23rd St has no burnable land within ember reach, so its wildfire risk is not rated.

Values cover an area roughly 900 ft across, not the parcel itself; insurers use their own ratings.
