An attic fire broke out at an apartment complex in Mission Valley Friday morning , sending fire crews rushing to the scene. The fire began just before 6 a.m. at the two- story Centre Point Apartments in the 6500 block of Friars Road. When firefighters arrived, heavy smoke could be seen stemming from the roof of the building. Fire officials said residents had evacuated safely.

The city would use the money to hire inspectors, who would respond to complaints from tenants and neighbors about unsafe or unhealthy conditions. In response to complaints from property owners, Wagner dropped the proposed fee to $25 per building, with a higher re- inspection fee required of landlords who fail to correct problems. “That’s far less stringent than what we see in most areas around the country,” said Ruth Ann Norton , president of Ba...
