Authorities say Almena illegally sublet space in the building for artists to live and work. He's also accused of hosting for-profit concerts at the warehouse without a license.

The Alameda County District Attorney's Office is expected to announce the charges sometime today. That fire killed 36 people during a dance party back in December.
