California lawmakers Mark González and María Elena Durazo seek tougher penalties after a June 17 Boyle Heights cold-storage warehouse fire. They propose requiring new facilities to fund emergencies, increasing fines, and shifting certain costs. The warehouse is operated by Lineage, which faces public health and air-quality violations. Lineage said the cause is undetermined and cited $3.3 million committed to the community.

Lineage Logistics and regulators said ammonia from a Lineage cold-storage warehouse fire in Los Angeles was cleared, but UC Irvine and community groups reported elevated ammonia in nearby neighborhoods weeks later. Community monitors found up to 4,300 ppb on Aug. 2 and 108 ppb about a mile away. South Coast AQMD said levels stayed below state health benchmarks and EPA asked Lineage to list released contaminants.

Lineage (LINE) reported Q2 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $320 million, down 1.8% due to a $7 million legal settlement and transportation margin pressure. Total revenue rose 0.8% to $1.361 billion. AFFO was $198 million or $0.76 per share, down 6.2%. Management raised same-store NOI guidance and AFFO per share guidance, and said it targets leverage reduction via divestitures.

South Coast AQMD’s hearing board approved a modified abatement order against Lineage Logistics for its burned Boyle Heights cold storage warehouse after nearly 4,000 odor complaints. The order adds odor-control, monitoring, disinfecting within seven days after food removal, and bilingual outreach. Cleanup follows a June 17 fire; Lineage expects $80m-$100m cleanup.

South Coast AQMD approved an order of abatement for Lineage Logistics after Boyle Heights residents reported odor from a June fire at its cold storage warehouse. The order increases potential fines up to $70,000 per violation. Lineage agreed to a two-week cleanup timeline, says 80% is done, and must meet 90 odor-emission conditions, with monitoring and added community communication requirements.

South Coast AQMD hearing board ordered Lineage Logistics to tighten odor controls, expand air monitoring, and improve resident communications tied to a June Boyle Heights warehouse fire. The order requires daily removal of 10% (about 8.8M pounds) of stored food waste and additional monitoring farther from the site. No fines were imposed. Lineage said cleanup and remediation will cost $80M to $100M.
