Portland is investigating a complaint filed last week claiming an assistant fire marshal allowed a downtown sex club to host an anniversary party in late June even after a safety inspector denied the club a special events permit.
Willamette Week first reported the investigation and incident involving Assistant Fire Marshal Doug Jones.
Anna Kanwit, Human Resources Bureau director, confirmed her bureau is investigating the incident outlined in the story from WWeek’s Nigel Jaquiss.
The city’s Fire Bureau denied a permit for a June anniversary party at Club Sesso, according to Willamette Week, citing a construction project already underway at the club’s historic building in downtown Portland. But Jones reportedly overruled the fire inspector.
A message at the club seeking comment was not immediately returned.
Willamette Week’s story includes transcripts from a conversation between Jones and the manager of porn star Ron Jeremy‘s downtown club.
