New landslide forces evacuation of Pittsburgh home

PITTSBURGH — Another landslide has forced the evacuation of a Pittsburgh home.

The city said the new slide in Perry North was reported after noon Tuesday and threatens a home on Semicir Street.

The Department of Permits, Licenses and Inspections ordered the evacuation until the home can be stabilized.

Neighbors told Channel 11 the home dropped 3 to 4 feet overnight and the back of the house started to collapse.

Geotechnical engineers will now be called in to figure out how to stabilize the hillside and the home.
