May 27 - LA County and Pasadena Sued Over Failure to Inspect Homes After Eaton Fire

Two new lawsuits have been filed against Los Angeles County and the city of Pasadena for allegedly failing to inspect and address toxic smoke, ash, and soot damage in rental homes following the Eaton Fire earlier this year. Tenants claim local officials ignored their reports of unsafe living conditions and told them to take legal action against landlords instead. Without proper inspections or orders to clean up the contamination, many renters say they’ve been left in unlivable homes or forced out altogether.
