This weekend, a fire at an apartment complex in San Bernardino left seven people without a place to live.
Officials said the cause of the fire is undetermined.
It came to my attention because the buildings are part of a vast rental empire I wrote about in an investigation we published last week: Deceit, Disrepair and Death Inside a Southern California Rental Empire.
I went out today to talk to tenants about conditions at the 22-unit property, which public records show has been cited by the city for numerous violations.
