The North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District has fined the owner of the former Tahoe Biltmore Lodge & Casino for fire code violations.
After undergoing a foreclosure in July and switching hands to Lake Tahoe Partners LLC, the property lender now has a $3,150 bill for multiple violations. Lake Tahoe Partners LLC did not respond to the Tribune’s request for comment.
The enforcement action and resulting fines were triggered when the property’s demolition permits expired, creating uncertainty regarding whether, and when, work on the property would be completed, NLTFPD said.
