it was only a few years ago a whole building burned down (the units facing hillside) and they chose not to investigate it, though most people were pretty sure it was deliberately set.. the tenants that were living in the unit at the time were in the process of being evicted.... now we have another fire, in a unit that seems to be a party unit.. and there are already talks about it being a suspicious fire..
though i will say the silver lining seems to be all people in the unit and surrounding units got out safely
