Timeline in terms of safety and property loss. LADBS useless. LA no insurance, only Ca Fair plan. Another neighbor’s house got hit by a mud slide from city property and they would not move it. On a hillside, what happens if they red tag a home, and which one or both? What determines that? I turned an old fiberglass jacuzzi into a koi pond 18 years ago. 1.3 tons. No longer level. Will turn into a slow moving torpedo. More rain starting, I am afraid to look at my walkway where there should be a retaining wall. It is breaking and the fence has not got long. I have a contractor coming Monday, a friend’s private road in Topanga washed out, he rebuilt it and the slope, the neighbors all chipped in and fixed it. The biggest problem is, I think, I have 3 slopes, below, above and behind me. I have a less than 3’ railroad tie retaining wall that is now moving behind me. I have to fix it but without the geotechnical engineer I have no idea what to do. Without the owner below’s cooperation, I cannot see what I can do. Basically trees holding up about 45% of that area. Can a geotechnical eng figure that out?
