LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles code enforcement authorities are investigating whether a Hollywood building where a fire broke out Thursday night, leaving one person dead and two injured, was approved for use as recording studios.
City Department of Building and Safety records show a complaint for “building or property converted to another use” was filed Friday and is pending scheduling.
Jeff Napier, chief inspector and spokesperson for the department, told the Los Angeles Times the complaint was filed by the Los Angeles Fire Department after Thursday’s blaze.
