Well, legal and zoning issues aside, didn’t they own that property? Did they collect an insurance settlement? can they not collect on insurance because of their illegally running an apartment/artist colony residence place???

Even if insurance and lawsuits are headaches for them, can’t they sell; doesn’t the property have some residual value?
They should be in jail/ And if they do own the property it should be sold and the proceeds distributed to the families of the deceased.
I don’t think they own the property. They rented it and sublet it out...while the owners turned a blind eye.
I do believe they rented the property from a Chinese woman maybe? Anyway they were the tendons and then they rented out spaces that were illegal
They held the lease from a slumlord. They in turn sublet and apparently made plenty of money given the outrageous rents in that area.
