Creating a massive hole dmex to the bay park retirement home in pinole. Now, management says it was more than likely caused by the recent heavy rain, and they brought in engineers to take a look at this and they determined that the building is safe for the most part but have closed off areas near the landslide such as the activity and dining rooms. We did speak to a resident who says shes okay but is worried for her neighbors. There are people with hearing and vision disabilities and mental disabilities and they get frightened very easily, so yes, there are people that are concerned.
