All agree the sinkhole damage was an emergency situation.
Repair or addition? As soon as the Inn at Sunset Cliffs got permission from the city to repair the two huge sinkholes that collapsed its ocean-front deck in December, the owners admit they rushed to get it done. They were concerned opponents — including the Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation and the owners of a nearby home — would try to block the repairs. “We knew they would fight it and we were trying
to save the inn and the street from collapsing down the bluff,” said Paul Robinson, a lawyer who represents the inn. “We barely won their appeal before the city council.” Though the work is done, the opponents are still
considering suing the city and the inn over the deck, built after the sinkholes were filled in, according to Livia Borak, the Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation lawyer. For nearly six years, the foundation has been suing
the Inn at Sunset Cliffs over compliance with the Coastal Act — a state law passed in the 1970s, about 20 years
after the inn was built. The inn’s new owners are working with
the city to get retroactive permits for the whole property — including the disputed deck. As long as they are making progress on it, the litigation is on hold, according to court records.
