OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- ABC7 News is learning that a lawsuit was filed against the property owner of the Oakland apartment building that went up in flames Monday morning.
The previous tenants say the new owners started construction while others still lived in the original building on the property. They say digging exposed gas lines and damaged the home's foundation. Construction worker even allegedly used electricity that they were charged for.
One former tenant, Hillary Jacobs, says she and others are suing the property owner. Their attorney calls this fire "suspicious" considering the current litigation.
