The owner of one of the multimillion-dollar mansions left teetering on cliffs in California says he is so terrified it will collapse into the Pacific Ocean that he is forced to make cautious checks “every hour.”
Dramatic photos show Alan Ashavi’s property coming to an abrupt end past his pool in the backyard — which survived last year as several of his neighbors lost chunks of their own homes.
Ashavi said he has been building his dream home there for 12 years, with the abrupt cliff now part of it after an atmospheric river caused a landslide last month.
“Well, it is nerve-wracking because you deal with it on a daily basis and you come in here and check every day or every hour sometimes,” Ashavi said.
“I know this is an El Niño year as far as the rain, so I’ve had it in the back of my mind about being involved with the construction,” the 66-year-old homeowner said.
