Reporting odors from the Lineage warehouse could have a big impact.

To date, the South Coast Air Quality Management District has issued five air quality violations to Lineage, and penalties can range from $1,000 to $75,000 per day.

The agency recommends residents report bad smells every day they're noticing the issue. Swipe for information on what to do.

Getting worse in Pasadena Hastings Ranch area. Found this post looking for ways to report. Like the smoke, the air just gets trapped over here. Rotting trash smell across the neighborhood for days. Our mayors in LA and Pasadena need to work together to fix this.

Aren’t they already getting like 900 reports a day? More reports will fix it for sure.
