A team of Los Angeles Building and Safety inspectors and engineers will be at the scene of Monday evening’s mudslide that affected at least three homes in the Hollywood Hills. The mudslide occurred in the 8100 block of West Laurel View Drive, said Erik Scott, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department. “It’s going to take a while to see exactly what the cause was,” said David Lara, a spokesman for the department. Crews are waiting on assessments from other agencies before they fully restore power, according to Albert Rodriguez, a Department of Water and Power spokesman. This month, shifting soil underneath a home in the Hollywood Hills caused a balcony to collapse onto a roadway.
