Almost exactly two years since a neighbor accidentally discovered the Corralitas Pits of Doom, work began to backfill and compact soil and finish the retaining walls at 2463 & 2467 Corralitas Drive. While construction of the homes began in August 2006, the Corralitas Pits of Doom had no protective covering since spring 2008. The neighbor discovered his dog in the bottom of a pit in October 2008. Luckily the dog was unhurt.

For the past two years, we documented the lack of action on the Pits of Doom, sending routine updates to CD13. This was an enormous failing of Building & Safety to do their job and protect the public from falling into the Pits of Doom from the uneven Corralitas Public Staircase.

Now, if Building & Safety would only enforce the rule on shielding rooftop equipment in Hillside Areas...see Ugly Rooftop Watch.
