南洛杉矶废弃教堂第三度起火，市长要求拨款200万美元清理危房
洛杉矶市南区一座废弃教堂10月12日凌晨第三度起火。这座位于东27街与帕洛马街交口的前克劳奇纪念教堂（Crouch Memorial Church of God in Christ）建于1905年，凌晨3时30分过后有人报警，约180名消防员历时一个多小时才将大火扑灭；建筑已被贴上红色危险标记，市府人员开始拆除不稳定的残损结构。此次火灾无人受伤，消防局已展开纵火调查。该建筑此前曾于2013年和2024年两度起火。
附近居民称，13多年来他们不断向市政府投诉这处物业被占用、遭倾倒垃圾和发生小火等问题，一直未获处理。市长巴斯办公室发表声明称，市政府已对业主采取法律行动，并将与市建筑安全局合作在本周内清理该物业；巴斯还要求市议会拨款200万美元，用于清理并围护全市包括该教堂在内的优先危险房产，这项拨款动议将于本周在市议会规划与土地使用管理委员会审议。
Abandoned South LA Church Burns for a Third Time; Mayor Seeks $2 Million to Clean Up Dangerous Properties
An abandoned church in South Los Angeles burned for a third time in the early hours of October 12. The former Crouch Memorial Church of God in Christ, a two-story wooden building dating to 1905 at East 27th and Paloma streets, was reported on fire shortly after 3:30 a.m.; about 180 firefighters took more than an hour and a half to knock down the blaze. No one was injured. The building has been red-tagged, crews have begun removing unstable debris, and the Fire Department has opened an arson investigation. The church previously burned in 2013 and again in 2024.
Neighbors say they have complained to the city about the property for more than 13 years, citing squatters, illegal dumping and small fires, without results. Mayor Karen Bass's office said in a statement that the city has taken legal action against the property owner and will work with the Department of Building and Safety to clean up the site this week. Bass has also asked the City Council to allocate $2 million to clean and secure priority dangerous properties across the city, including this one; the funding motion is scheduled to be heard this week in the Council's Planning and Land Use Management Committee.
