City building inspectors closed a dance club in the 4700 block of Lankershim Boulevard last week because of widespread cracking and 13-inch ground subsidence near the bar. Eight other area businesses also have filed claims against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, charging that excavation machines have sent cracks shooting through their buildings, transit officials say.

In a press briefing Monday, however, MTA officials said they believe the structure's foundation was undermined by water from a broken drain pipe at an adjacent Winston tire store.

El Sombrero owner Isabel Lopez said this week that she has no doubts the damage at her business was caused by Metro Rail work - not a ruptured water pipe or unnoticed damage from the Northridge Earthquake The Northridge earthquake occurred on January 17, 1994 at 4:31 AM Pacific Standard Time in the city of Los Angeles, California. The earthquake had a "strong" moment magnitude of 6. , as MTA officials have speculated. "It's only common sense it's the tunneling," Lopez said. As a precautionary measure, subway workers have been injecting earth-stabilizing material in the ground below Lankershim. A year ago they were forced to use that material widely after an area north of the El Sombrero sank up to five inches. |
