Tenants Sue Pasadena and LA County Over Post-Eaton Fire Living Conditions
Residents demand safe housing and accountability amid ongoing hazards and neglect
In the aftermath of the devastating Eaton Fire, tenants in Pasadena and Altadena are taking legal action against the City of Pasadena and Los Angeles County, citing unsafe living conditions and a lack of meaningful response.
According to the lawsuit, residents at an Altadena apartment complex have lived for months without power and surrounded by hazardous debris. Despite repeated complaints, the landlord has allegedly failed to make necessary repairs. The tenants are now suing, saying both the city and the county have neglected their duty to enforce housing codes and provide post-disaster protections.
Support from community organizations like the NAACP and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network continues to grow, as calls for systemic change intensify.
The lawsuits seek not only immediate remediation but long-term accountability to prevent similar failures in the future.
