A few people ran up the narrow passageway from the ground floor to flee the flames downstairs, hampering a much larger group trying to crowd-surf down. Not far from the mass, Aaron Marin scanned the second floor of the warehouse. “We all just looked at each other and knew we were trapped,” said Marin, 45, one of the last people to escape the Oakland building as it was consumed by flames.

A few people ran up the narrow passageway from the ground floor to flee the flames downstairs, hampering a much larger group trying to crowd-surf down. Not far from the mass, Aaron Marin scanned the second floor of the warehouse. “We all just looked at each other and knew we were trapped,” said Marin, 45, one of the last people to escape the Oakland building as it was consumed by flames.

But in the March 2015 case, city officials were well aware that people were living in the two-story brick building — even though it was not approved for residential use.

He should not be made a scapegoat,” said attorneys Tony Serra, Jeffrey Krasnoff and Kyndra Miller in a joint statement.

Townley wants them to stay around, and he says cities like Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco will need laws like \u003ca href=\"http://nyclofttenants.org/loft-law-101/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York City’s 2010 Loft Law\u003c/a> in order for that to happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to stop people from being afraid of code enforcement, afraid of fire marshals,” Townley said. “Right now it’s basically a quick jump from fire marshals visiting to an eviction, and that’s incredibly scary because it’s impossible to find affordable places.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed law is scheduled to be discussed at a meeting of Berkeley’s 4×4 Committee on Monday, Dec. 12 at 10 am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both San Francisco and Oakland are former industrial hubs, and the glut of commercial properties left over from the manufacturing heyday has provided large, inexpensive spaces to enterprising artists.

In the early 1970s, avant weirdos the Residents rented an old print shop on Sycamore Street in San Francisco, in which they set up a recording studio. The group recorded some of their most celebrated albums at that location (\u003ci>Third Reich and Roll,\u003c/i> \u003ci>Fingerprince\u003c/i>) and filmed their first music videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1980s, a collective of artists and punks, including hardcore legends MDC, worked together to turn the massive beer vats in the old Hamm’s Brewery on Bryant Street in San Francisco’s Mission into rooms where bands could practice and struggling artists could live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was at an age of 22, 23, 24,” MDC singer Dave Dictor says. “I’d moved here from Austin, Texas with my band, and we wanted to focus on our art, you know, 70 hours a week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The steel tanks in the former brewery were lined with a rubber coating and otherwise completely empty. Once they were wired for electricity, bands and artists could use them for any kind of creative pursuit, or simply to bed down for the night. While staying in the Vats, MDC developed the songs that would make up their \u003cem>Multi-Death Corporations\u003c/em> EP. That release saw the band pushing its technical abilities to play at breakneck speeds, as well as address much larger political topics, such as the impact of unrestrained capitalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8yFTnKujXI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many other stories of Bay Area alternative spaces that enabled bands to take their music to the next level, such as the Oakland hardcore band Neurosis, which morphed into the tribal-tinged doom metal juggernaut while the members lived at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cvltnation.com/cvlt-nation-interviews-scott-kelly-of-neurosis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Method warehouse in Emeryville\u003c/a> during the late ’80s and early ’90s. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Oakland warehouse fire, landlords were looking for opportunities to shut down underground arts spaces. In the wake of last weekend’s devastating blaze, artists’ fear of eviction from these venues seems even more real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent months, landlods have already shut down long-running DIY venues such as Sugar Mountain, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/an-open-letter-to-our-community-from-the-former-residents-of-the-recently-closed-lobot-gallery-in-west-oakland/Content?oid=5053320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lobot Gallery,\u003c/a> and the Creamery, later called Ghost Town, which came into existence in 1999 when then-Mayor Jerry Brown was calling for \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/a-portrait-of-the-artist-as-a-young-landlord/Content?oid=1069821\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">artists to come to Oakland\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghost Town was \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/05/31/oakland-ghost-town-gallery-becomes-a-ghost-town/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shut down earlier this year \u003c/a>after the landlord evicted its dozen-or-so tenants.

In the early 1970s, avant weirdos the Residents rented an old print shop on Sycamore Street in San Francisco, in which they set up a recording studio. The group recorded some of their most celebrated albums at that location (\u003ci>Third Reich and Roll,\u003c/i> \u003ci>Fingerprince\u003c/i>) and filmed their first music videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1980s, a collective of artists and punks, including hardcore legends MDC, worked together to turn the massive beer vats in the old Hamm’s Brewery on Bryant Street in San Francisco’s Mission into rooms where bands could practice and struggling artists could live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was at an age of 22, 23, 24,” MDC singer Dave Dictor says. “I’d moved here from Austin, Texas with my band, and we wanted to focus on our art, you know, 70 hours a week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The steel tanks in the former brewery were lined with a rubber coating and otherwise completely empty. Once they were wired for electricity, bands and artists could use them for any kind of creative pursuit, or simply to bed down for the night. While staying in the Vats, MDC developed the songs that would make up their \u003cem>Multi-Death Corporations\u003c/em> EP. That release saw the band pushing its technical abilities to play at breakneck speeds, as well as address much larger political topics, such as the impact of unrestrained capitalism.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/o8yFTnKujXI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/o8yFTnKujXI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>There are many other stories of Bay Area alternative spaces that enabled bands to take their music to the next level, such as the Oakland hardcore band Neurosis, which morphed into the tribal-tinged doom metal juggernaut while the members lived at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cvltnation.com/cvlt-nation-interviews-scott-kelly-of-neurosis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Method warehouse in Emeryville\u003c/a> during the late ’80s and early ’90s. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Oakland warehouse fire, landlords were looking for opportunities to shut down underground arts spaces.

Those pictures became part of a notice of violation sent to Chor Ng, who owns both the lot and the warehouse. A reinspection of the lot was set for Jan. 16, 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been widely reported that the inspector did not gain access to the Ghost Ship building at 1315 31st Ave. to verify the illegal structure complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But city records released late Tuesday show the inspector believed the reported illegal structure was somewhere on the vacant lot and made no attempt to visit the warehouse next door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the only detailed note on the inspection, recorded the morning after his Nov. 17 visit to 31st Avenue, the inspector wrote: \"Complainant needs to provide access, cannot see if there is an illegal building from the sidewalk (property has a chain link fence in the front).\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mention of the complainant and the attempt to view the reported illegal structure from a sidewalk location suggest the inspector was attempting to locate something he believed was on the cluttered vacant lot, not in the warehouse building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Darin Ranelletti, the interim chief of the Planning and Building Department, confirmed during the Wednesday press conference that both complaints filed last month were against 1305 31st Ave. and that the inspector was never tasked with checking on the warehouse building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When the inspector went out there, he confirmed the presence of blight,\" Ranelletti said, adding the inspector \"was unable to get visual access into the lot to confirm if anyone was living there or if there was any illegal construction on the lot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The records released Tuesday show no indication that the inspector attempted to contact the complainant further or scheduled a new visit to verify the existence of an illegal structure. Ranelletti said that the scheduled January 2017 visit would afford inspectors a chance to look for the reported structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ranelletti said repeatedly that the inspector would have taken action on the warehouse only if he had seen a \"physical, obvious violation\" of city building codes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you look at the warehouse building from the outside, absent the blight on the street, we have many similar-looking buildings in this city,\" Ranelletti said in describing the exterior of the Ghost Ship building. \"There isn't the kind of physical, obvious sign that inspectors are required to note before they take a proactive step to investigate a building.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The planning chief also said a review of records showed that no inspector from the department had been inside the warehouse for 30 years or more. He said that's because there had been no building permits filed or complaints about interior work attributed to the warehouse's street address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separately, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/Fire-Department-Had-Not-Inspected-Oakland-Warehouse-in-Over-a-Decade-Records-405351415.html\" target=\"_blank\">NBC Bay Area reported\u003c/a> late Wednesday that the Oakland Fire Department's Fire Prevention Bureau, which is responsible for making safety inspections of the city's commercial buildings, had not been in the warehouse for at least a decade.\u003c/p>\n\n",

We've so far received no response. The Police Department, City and Mayor's office did not respond to a request for comment on Acevedo's statements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acevedo, who moved in April 2015, said he understood that there was little the police officers who showed up hours after he called could do, but they encouraged him to continue reporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The beat cops were really nice about it,\" he said. \"They were like 'Keep calling, keep making a record about this.

But others did, several times in 2014 and then again last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2014, a city inspector found no violations after the department got a complaint about construction taking place at the warehouse without permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, a city inspector responded to two complaints: one concerning an accumulation of garbage in the vacant lot adjacent to the warehouse building and a second concerning an \"illegal interior building structure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspector visited the property on Nov. 17 and verified the garbage complaint. But the inspector, who reportedly knocked on the warehouse door and got no answer, did not enter the building to check on the illegal structure complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It blows my mind that city inspectors went there four times and never stepped into the building,\" Acevedo said. \"It was like my worst fears living in that house for years were realized, all over the TV, all over social media. It was devastating that nothing was done and these people died horrifically.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acevedo wasn't the only one concerned about the conditions of the Ghost Ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A neighbor and former friend of Almena and Allison, Danielle Boudreaux, said it was part of the reason she contacted the couples' families and facilitated getting Allison away from Almena and into rehab and the couples' three children out of the Ghost Ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She described the warehouse as chaotic and \"constantly in flux\" when she visited -- from its inception in early 2013 until she intervened with concern for the children in 2015. Dozens of people made their homes in a darkened \"indoor RV park\" on the first floor, among piles of collected wood and other junk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena and Allison lived on the second floor on a mezzanine accessed most often by a shoddy homemade staircase. Sections were sloped planks with pieces of wood nailed onto them for footholds, Boudreaux said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You could not have multiple people on there,\" Boudreaux said. \"It was held up by ropes, you know.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she didn't notice a safer staircase in the back of the building until her third or fourth visit, and people unfamiliar with the \"Ghost Ship\" also likely would not have known about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having been the one who spoke out and said this is dangerous, this is not safe and then did what I could for the kids, I feel a tremendous weight of responsibility and guilt that I didn’t push my efforts further,\" Boudreaux said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison's split from Almena in early 2015 was short-lived. Their children stayed with Almena's family until June 2016, Boudreaux said. She said she spoke to their youngest child shortly after the split.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He got on the phone and he said 'I love you,' and I said 'I love you too,' and he said, 'Thank you for getting us out of the scary warehouse.' I’ll take those words to my grave. That kid knew, at 3 years old, he knew that that was not, it wasn’t OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he wouldn't get out of the place permanently and was reunited with his parents in the warehouse last June. Boudreaux says she believes the building's owner, Chor Nar Siu Ng, must have known people were living in the warehouse building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11209654\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11209654\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/20150130-bathroom-ghost-ship-800x1422.jpg\" alt=\"A photo from former Ghost Ship tenant Shelley Mack of a bathroom with propane heating source for showering.

Keep doing this,'\" Acevedo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Early into 2014 we said that it was an illegal residence in talking with the police and whatnot,\" he recalled. \"Their response was, 'Well, because you say that -- are you the building owner? Do you know that for a fact?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the fire, the building's intended use has become clear. It was permitted as a warehouse, and received no city permit for either living spaces or events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it became, according to the Satya Yuga Facebook page:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>An unprecedented fusion of earth home bomb bunker helter skelter spelunker shelters and indonesian straw huts rolling into valleys and down alleys ... Seeking all shamanic rattlesnake sexy jungle jazz hobo gunslingers looking for a space to house gear, use studio, develop next level Shaolin discipline after driving your taxi cab late at night, build fusion earth home bomb bunker spelunker shelters, and plant herbaceous colonies in the open sun & air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are a collective of musicians, painters, woodworkers, hot dog vendors, scrappers, boutique designers and lingerie models.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Acevedo says he never called the Planning and Building Department about the warehouse. But others did, several times in 2014 and then again last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2014, a city inspector found no violations after the department got a complaint about construction taking place at the warehouse without permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, a city inspector responded to two complaints: one concerning an accumulation of garbage in the vacant lot adjacent to the warehouse building and a second concerning an \"illegal interior building structure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspector visited the property on Nov. 17 and verified the garbage complaint. But the inspector, who reportedly knocked on the warehouse door and got no answer, did not enter the building to check on the illegal structure complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It blows my mind that city inspectors went there four times and never stepped into the building,\" Acevedo said. \"It was like my worst fears living in that house for years were realized, all over the TV, all over social media. It was devastating that nothing was done and these people died horrifically.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acevedo wasn't the only one concerned about the conditions of the Ghost Ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A neighbor and former friend of Almena and Allison, Danielle Boudreaux, said it was part of the reason she contacted the couples' families and facilitated getting Allison away from Almena and into rehab and the couples' three children out of the Ghost Ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She described the warehouse as chaotic and \"constantly in flux\" when she visited -- from its inception in early 2013 until she intervened with concern for the children in 2015. Dozens of people made their homes in a darkened \"indoor RV park\" on the first floor, among piles of collected wood and other junk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena and Allison lived on the second floor on a mezzanine accessed most often by a shoddy homemade staircase. Sections were sloped planks with pieces of wood nailed onto them for footholds, Boudreaux said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You could not have multiple people on there,\" Boudreaux said. \"It was held up by ropes, you know.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she didn't notice a safer staircase in the back of the building until her third or fourth visit, and people unfamiliar with the \"Ghost Ship\" also likely would not have known about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having been the one who spoke out and said this is dangerous, this is not safe and then did what I could for the kids, I feel a tremendous weight of responsibility and guilt that I didn’t push my efforts further,\" Boudreaux said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison's split from Almena in early 2015 was short-lived. Their children stayed with Almena's family until June 2016, Boudreaux said. She said she spoke to their youngest child shortly after the split.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He got on the phone and he said 'I love you,' and I said 'I love you too,' and he said, 'Thank you for getting us out of the scary warehouse.' I’ll take those words to my grave. That kid knew, at 3 years old, he knew that that was not, it wasn’t OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he wouldn't get out of the place permanently and was reunited with his parents in the warehouse last June. Boudreaux says she believes the building's owner, Chor Nar Siu Ng, must have known people were living in the warehouse building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11209654\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11209654\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/20150130-bathroom-ghost-ship-800x1422.jpg\" alt=\"A photo from former Ghost Ship tenant Shelley Mack of a bathroom with propane heating source for showering.

For example, locked exit doors trapped many workers in the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York City that killed 145 people; 31 years later, locked exits also trapped many people in the 1942 Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire in Boston where 492 people lost their lives.

They require specific parameters including size limitations, occupancy compatibility, egress capacity, fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems, as well as structural, ventilation and accessibility requirements.

The investigation is ongoing, but he says everyone needs to take individual responsibility. Every time he enters a new space he scans for danger. He scouts for exits, blocked areas or debris piled up in the corner. If a building is unsafe, he recommends immediately retreating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of the equation is the complacency that people have around fire,” he stresses. “People believe a fire will never happen to me. It won’t occur in the building that I’m in. But as we see -- when a fire does occur, tragic circumstances result. So, it really is in everyone’s best interest to talk about fire safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An NFPA \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfpa.org/news-and-research/fire-statistics-and-reports/fire-statistics/fires-in-the-us/multiple-death-fires/catastrophic-multiple-death-fires\" target=\"_blank\">review\u003c/a> of fires over the past 10 years showed that smoke alarms were missing or inoperable in more than two-thirds of the catastrophic multiple-death fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note to self: \"Do not leave the fire alarm disassembled on the kitchen counter for several days when it runs out of batteries!\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

One victim was 17; the others ranged in age from 22 to 35.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past three years, Almena leased the building in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood and in turn offered smaller leases to residents. He ran an artists' collective out of the structure, which wasn't zoned for residential use. The AP reports that the warehouse had been under investigation by local building inspectors starting last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An artist who survived the fire told NPR that Almena and his partner, Micah Allison, were supportive of her work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were family.

It was a village,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/12/05/504467106/oakland-warehouse-fire-survivor-we-were-a-family\">she said\u003c/a>. \"It was a community of people. We looked out for each other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Almena has been sharply criticized by others. After the catastrophic fire, he posted a message on Facebook that read in part, \"Everything I worked so hard for is gone. Blessed that my children and Micah were at a hotel safe and sound.\" It didn't mention fatalities or injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some have accused Almena of having a callous attitude toward the safety of residents of the building. Allison's father, for instance, recalled the couple laughing at a story about a fire-breather accidentally setting himself ablaze during a party at the Ghost Ship, while a former Ghost Ship resident told the AP that Almena and Allison knew the building was dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They profited on this,\" Shelley Mack told the wire service. \"And never spent a dime on anything but partying.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Profit?\" Almena asked on \"Today.\" \"This is not profit, this is loss. This is a mass grave. I'm only here to say one thing, that I am incredibly sorry and that everything I did was to make this a stronger, more beautiful community and to bring people together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also defended his creation, and implied he never thought it would be dangerous, noting that he and his children slept there most nights.

One victim was 17; the others ranged in age from 22 to 35.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past three years, Almena leased the building in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood and in turn offered smaller leases to residents. He ran an artists' collective out of the structure, which wasn't zoned for residential use. The AP reports that the warehouse had been under investigation by local building inspectors starting last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An artist who survived the fire told NPR that Almena and his partner, Micah Allison, were supportive of her work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were family. It wasn't just a place for cheap rent or a place that you could make art. It was a village,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/12/05/504467106/oakland-warehouse-fire-survivor-we-were-a-family\">she said\u003c/a>. \"It was a community of people. We looked out for each other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Almena has been sharply criticized by others. After the catastrophic fire, he posted a message on Facebook that read in part, \"Everything I worked so hard for is gone. Blessed that my children and Micah were at a hotel safe and sound.\" It didn't mention fatalities or injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some have accused Almena of having a callous attitude toward the safety of residents of the building. Allison's father, for instance, recalled the couple laughing at a story about a fire-breather accidentally setting himself ablaze during a party at the Ghost Ship, while a former Ghost Ship resident told the AP that Almena and Allison knew the building was dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They profited on this,\" Shelley Mack told the wire service. \"And never spent a dime on anything but partying.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Profit?\" Almena asked on \"Today.\" \"This is not profit, this is loss. This is a mass grave. I'm only here to say one thing, that I am incredibly sorry and that everything I did was to make this a stronger, more beautiful community and to bring people together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also defended his creation, and implied he never thought it would be dangerous, noting that he and his children slept there most nights. (They were in a hotel the night of the fire, he says, to get a good night's sleep while \"the young people do what they needed to do.\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I laid my body down there every night,\" he said, adding:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>\"We put our children to bed there every night.
