A couple of readers wrote in asking about 1037 Las Alturas Road, “which is rapidly sliding down the steep ravine,” emailed one. “The occupants had to abandon the property without any notice. Sadly, it looks like everything they own is still in the house. It started with some of the heavy rains in January or maybe February. The ground from underneath the garage slid out, and then the garage slid into the house. And now the whole thing is going down the hill.” The other reader said a broken sewer line is to blame and that the owner’s insurance isn’t covering the damage.
