Overview
- The partial hillside collapse occurred Friday after a privately maintained pool overflowed and water saturated the slope below the pool.
- Fire officials said an unattended garden hose had been running into the pool for an unknown amount of time before the overflow caused the slide.
- LAFD and LAPD evacuated eight apartment units on Grace Avenue while crews drained the pool and stabilized the area.
- The L.A. Department of Building and Safety red-tagged the drained pool and portions of a vacated commercial building at the hill’s base as unsafe to occupy.
- Authorities declared the collapse 'static,' allowed residents to return, reported no injuries, and warned that red-tagged structures will face further inspections and enforcement.
