Corralitas Pits of Doom remain covered with plywood and no fence around the site as required by B & S order to comply. (Click on photos to enlarge.) Three years after breaking ground, 2463 & 2467 Corralitas Drive are still unfinished. The developer obtained a building permit for the retaining wall in January this year. There has been no significant activity on site for the past 16 months. Only after LAFD issued a Red Tag notice, they finally did the brush clearance this past weekend.

(Click on photo to enlarge.)You may remember, the same developer also gave us Ugly Rooftops and an Illegal Billboard. Developers wonder why neighbors get hostile.
