Our zone, LOS-0767-L was finally open to residents on Jan. 25.

According to CalFire, the Palisades fire covered 23,448 acres and destroyed 6,833 structures including over 5,000 homes.

The Army Corps of Engineers did its first debris removal on a residential lot in the Palisades on Feb. 21. The county's processing of right of entry (ROE) forms, which will allow the ACE to proceed with debris removal, seemed to be taking a lot of time; county officials said that the processing was proceeding at a record pace and that they had to verify ownership.

The eligible parcels figure includes debris removal from the Eaton fire.

Note: The L.A. County Assessor overview presents our house as 3 beds, 2 baths, 1,573 sq ft on a 8,131 sq ft lot. According to LADBS, the building permit for our house was issued on June 22, 1948, and the certificate of occupancy issued on Feb. 4, 1949. The certificate of occupancy for the addition was issued in Nov. 17, 1959. We moved in in 1967, and our parents made many renovations over the years, most notably adding the covered deck, which was finished June 1992. Zillow listed an estimated market value of $3.17 million, but Realtor.com showed a huge drop in the latter part of 2023 and put the estimated value at $2.41 million. Divided among three brothers and given current housing costs that is a limited amount, and for me this is not about numbers—it is about home.
