Not Holding Back: The Problem with Reno's Retaining Walls

Rockery and Retaining walls. What are they? How do they work? What happens when they fail? And who pays when they need repairs?

Since at least 2018, Jenny has inquired about current standards regarding community retaining walls, and has asked to have these standards reviewed, to no avail. Now, on the first episode of OFF THE DAIS, Jenny speaks with Ken McNeil, a resident of Sommersett, who has appeared before the Reno City Council many times on the topic, and Brooke Siem, a Ward 4 resident, and HOA president of her townhouse community.

Hear their stories and learn how failing retaining walls in these communities have impacted them and their neighbors now!

Thank you for listening!
