Baltimore arts building shuttered days after Oakland fire
BALTIMORE — Baltimore officials have shut down an arts building for safety violations and evicted dozens of tenants three days after a fire at a California warehouse-turned artists’ enclave killed three dozen people.
The Baltimore Sun reports (http://bsun.md/2h11FWs ) officials boarded up the two-story Bell Foundry arts building on Monday.
Fire department spokesman Roman Clark says inspectors responding to a complaint found no valid permit, unsafe conditions and other violations.
City housing department spokeswoman Tania Baker says tenants may not use the building again until the building is up to code.
