Miramar Business Owner Says Party Site Warehouse NYE Has Previously Hosted Events – NBC 7 San Diego

A business owner near a warehouse in Miramar that hosted a New Years party that defied public health orders said Thursday night’s event was not an isolated incident.

“The guys next to us are constantly having parties here, I imagine ignoring the COVID rules and regulations and just doing their own thing and not adhering to any stipulations,” said Sydney Rosin, owner of City Signs. , at NBC 7.

At least three revelers were injured in the rebellious New Years Eve bash when a stage collapsed under the weight of a crowd, according to the San Diego Police Department. Shortly after, dozens of people were seen fleeing the warehouse, located on Trade Street off Camino Santa Fe, north of Miramar Road.

Rosin said several parties took place at his company’s warehouse next door. Next to City Signs are two vacant suites – one right next door and another above. Both warehouses are rented by the same person and were used for parties. It is not known if the person renting the units is the person responsible for organizing the events or if they sublet the space.

Cigarette butts, red solo goblets and empty beer cans and liquor bottles littered outside the area indicate a social gathering was held nearby, and Rosin said he was concerned that Thursday’s event has an impact on his business.

He told NBC 7 he was concerned the public would mistakenly assume that City Signs has something to do with the parties. Rosin said he reported the events about “three or four times” to 211 but saw no action taken.

“We felt that we could never call a number to act immediately. They would just go over it, write the documentation, and say, “OK, we’ll take a look at it,” which I think is very wrong. “

NBC 7’s Dave Summers arrived at the warehouse as guests were sorting out.

The property manager was also made aware of the incidents and said a board meeting would be held on the matter. However, nothing was done, according to Rosin.

While having another party hosted next to his business isn’t the perfect way to end the year, Rosin said he was “relieved” that the incidents were happening.

“The reason is that I’m hoping something will be done about it now, instead of being upset about it for months and months,” he said. “I just felt like my hands were tied so hopefully now something can be done about it and people can move on and do what they’re supposed to do.”
