WATCH HERE WATCH HEREWhile the permit was not approved as of Tuesday, the food waste rotting away inside the burned warehouse has caused many issues for Boyle Heights neighbors.
When NBCLA asked Mayor Karen Bass about the possibility of rebuilding the Lineage warehouse, she declined to "go there at all in terms of whether or not they rebuild."
Councilmember Ysabel Jurado whose district includes Boyle Heights said that it's "outrageous that Lineage is seeking permits to rebuild while the disaster it created has not even been cleaned up."
“At this time, I have no intention of supporting Lineage rebuilding at this site," Jurado said.
Lineage also emphasized cold storage facilities like the Boyle Heights one are "critical infrastructure" for the community.
