A Southern California mansion now sits at the edge of a cliff following a landslide and heavy rain in the region, but officials say the home is not in any immediate danger.

The cliff-top homes in Dana Point, California overlooking the Pacific Ocean were affected by landslides caused from last week's atmospheric river, also known as a "Pineapple Express," which brought heavy rain, wind, rockslides, flooding and more damage to areas across the state.

Dana Point is located along the Pacific coast in Orange County, California, about 60 miles south of Los Angeles.

In a statement Wednesday, the city said Dana Point's building inspector assessed residential structures and a geotechnical engineer observed the slide site.

The house is built on caissons that are anchored to the bedrock, City Manager Mike Killebrew told the Orange County Register. Killebrew recommended the house's owner do their own professional engineering inspection "out of an abundance of caution."

“The house is fine, it’s not threatened and it will not be red-tagged,” the house's owner, Dr. Lewis Bruggeman, told KCAL-TV. “The city agrees that there’s no major structural issue with the house.”

Homes in California can be red-tagged by the city or other government entities if they are deemed unsafe to occupy.

The landslide has not affected the Dana Point Headlands open space or access to the trail, KCAL-TV reported.

Another storm is expected to bring more heavy rain, flooding and snow to the region Sunday-Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles.
