Ennis House was damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and by the massive rainstorms in the winter of 2004, and then was red-tagged by City of Los Angeles inspectors in March 2005 when the main retaining wall failed.  Parts of Black Rain and Day of the Locust (1974) were also filmed here, so that fits.  Now the place has been yellow-tagged, with limited access from repairs only.  In any event there's a new foundation to save the place - The Ennis House - working with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the LA Conservancy and the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy.  They have a plan to save the structure.
