Los Angeles building inspectors have opened an investigation into alleged unpermitted construction at a 500,000-square-foot cold storage warehouse in Boyle Heights, following a massive fire that began on June 17, 2026. The blaze, which involved solar panels on the roof, took eight days to extinguish and prompted a shelter-in-place order and a state of emergency declaration by Governor Gavin Newsom. City records indicate a claim of "construction done without permits or inspections" is under review, raising questions about the building's compliance with safety regulations.
