South Bay Home Under Renovation Collapses

A vacant home undergoing remodeling work collapsed in San Pedro, causing a gas leak that was quickly secured, but it was unclear if Sunday’s windy, rainy weather was the cause.

The collapse was reported about 6:30 p.m. at 733 S. Leland St., Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department said.

No one was injured and there was no fire, Humphrey said.

Department of Building and Safety personnel were summoned to the scene, according to Humphrey, who said first responders are not tasked with determining the cause of the collapse.
