Lineage Food Removal Process at Boyle Heights Warehouse Is Completed
Regulators say Lineage faces 38 air-quality violations and more than 30 health citations as crews remove rotting food and disinfect the fire-damaged site.
- On Saturday, the South Coast Air Quality Management District confirmed that Lineage Logistics finished removing bulk food waste from its burned-out Boyle Heights warehouse, marking a major milestone after more than two months of cleanup efforts.
- The fire erupted June 17, leaving more than 85 million pounds of food to rot inside the facility, which subsequently generated nearly 5,000 odor complaints from residents reporting "persistent rotting, sour and garbage-like odors."
- Enforcement records show 38 violation notices against Lineage for public nuisance, and with bulk waste removed, the company must complete final debris removal, power washing, and disinfecting within a mandatory 7-day clock.
- On Friday, community groups filed a 60-day notice of intent to sue, while Los Angeles City Councilmember Ysabel Jurado stated the cleanup is "overdue progress" and does not "erase two months of odors, pests, and disruption."
- The Los Angeles City Council is considering measures to block reconstruction permits and increase violation fines to $1 million, as local officials press for accountability regarding the ongoing disaster response.
