Artists
scramble
as
Detroit
shuts
down
Russell
Industrial
Herald-Whig
DETROIT
- A
sprawling
Detroit
complex
that's
home to
businesses,
artists
and
residential
housing
is being
shut
down due
to
building
violations.
The
city's
building
department
says
Russell
Industrial
Center
failed
to
follow
guidelines
for
several
units,
including
illegally
installing
plumbing
and
heating
systems
without
proper
permits.
In one
case,
inspectors
say they
found
leaking
natural
gas.
Russell
Industrial
marketing
manager
Eric
Novack
says the
gas was
quickly
turned
off. He
says
everyone
should
be
concerned
about
safety
at the
repurposed
factory
complex
but the
scrutiny
lately
seems to
be
higher.
He says
a
meeting
with the
city is
planned
for
Wednesday.
Earlier
this
month,
WDIV-TV
reported
dozens
of
failed
fire
safety
inspections.
The
Detroit
News
reports
the
facility
will be
shut
down
until it
has all
proper
permits
and
inspections.
