RE: [californiadisasters] No Building Inspectors Were in Oakland Warehouse for 30 years
IN California, the State Fire Marshal's office gives the local Fire Official authority to inspect regulated occupancies. These include Assemblies, Educational, Institutional, and Residential Occupancies. The Fire Department also inspects occupancies that require fire permits like the use of flammable liquids, propane, welding and cutting.
If a change in use permit was issued to convert the warehouse to residential with three or more units, the building would be required to be inspected. News reports say the official use was a warehouse which is not a regulated. The owner/operator never submitted plans for the change in occupancy.
If the operator secured a permit for the use of propane, etc, the building would be required to be inspected. I do not think they ever applied for a permit for the use of propane, flammable liquids, etc.
