Pupukea home that erodes into ocean spurs legal action
The state Department of the Attorney General took legal action Wednesday against a North Shore property owner after part of a beachfront home collapsed onto state land and into the ocean. Community members said the property at 59-147 Ke Nui Road in Pupukea had been eroding for several months. During beach cleanups in August, it was clear to them that the home already was showing signs of erosion. However, the more severe damage, where a portion of the home’s porch fell into the ocean, began Tuesday.
