Bunny Museum Rubble Cleared, as Owners Pledge to Rebuild Altadena Site
- The Eaton fire destroyed 9,414 structures across Altadena and surrounding areas on January 7, 2025, including Margot Stueber’s home of 18 years.
- The rebuilding pace lags due to a slow permit approval process, with only 18 permits issued from 674 applications, prompting officials to call for faster action.
- In late April, construction began on Stueber’s new home, marking a notable milestone as the county updates rebuilding efforts amid community pressure for progress.
- Kathryn Barger, a county supervisor, admitted that current efforts are falling short and has promoted measures to postpone rebuilding fees to assist families facing obstacles in the recovery process.
- Initiatives like the Dena Care Collective have distributed over $100,000 to more than 50 Black Altadena families, aiming to deliver $1 million in recovery funds to prevent displacement.
