Hollywood's Blvd6200 project escaped review despite fault threat

L.A. could have required a seismic evaluation of the site near the Hollywood fault but did not do so. The $200-million Blvd6200 project, next to the Pantages Theatre, will include 500 apartments.



A sprawling $200-million commercial and residential development under construction next to the Pantages Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard was approved by Los Angeles city officials without a seismic evaluation, even though it sits next to an active earthquake fault capable of producing a devastating temblor, according to records and interviews.
