For a little while, the self-styled punks of Richmond took over the City Council meeting Tuesday.

They were friends, and in some cases inhabitants, of Burnt Ramen, the famed makeshift punk venue in the middle of Richmond that had long billed itself, tongue-in-cheek, as an “unsafe place for all ages” — and, more recently, the home of six people evicted by the city last week for operating without the proper permits.

They met the suits and ties of the Richmond City Council with studded leather jackets and hair dyed every color, propping cardboard “Save Ramen” signs on seats before the standing-room-only crowd filtered in. They at times yelled and interrupted, asking Mayor Tom Butt what he was going to do about the loss of their home.

“We want to raise awareness, for sure, but we also just want them to let us fix our home,” said Brandon Bailey, 29, a former dweller of Burnt Ramen who revved up protesters at a nearby park before a few dozen marched to Richmond City Hall for the meeting. “They’re not letting us fix our home.”

In announcing the red-tagging of Burnt Ramen on Friday, Butt called the warehouse structure his city’s Ghost Ship, referring to the site of the deadly Oakland fire on 31st Avenue that triggered a nationwide wave of scrutiny on such so-called do-it-yourself spaces, often illegal or not up to city building codes, where artists reside.

At the meeting, other City Council members seemed surprised by the onslaught of 29 speakers during the public comment portion, almost all of whom spoke in support of Burnt Ramen.

Councilwoman Gayle McLaughlin noted that “all of this” happened after the last City Council meeting, adding that she hadn’t been informed properly of the situation.

“I personally would like the city to work with these artists so they can stay in their place,” McLaughlin said.

Richmond’s city attorney, Bruce Goodmiller, said his office had received an appeal of the eviction notice from an attorney representing Burnt Ramen’s tenants on Tuesday.

The city manager, Bill Lindsay, said that “clearly there are different definitions of what a safe space is,” adding that Richmond was willing to work with Burnt Ramen’s landlord to resolve the code problems.

“I do hope that things happen expeditiously and responsibly, so we can get this facility back to occupancy,” Lindsay said.

The half-dozen occupants of Burnt Ramen claim the city gave them little to no notice of the inspection that triggered their eviction, and they allege city officials gave them no direction as to what the code violations were — and how they could have fixed them.

Joel Shepard, 23, said he first frequented Burnt Ramen at 15, taking in a show, calling it “my dream place to hang out,” adding that, amidst the pool tables and skate ramps dragged inside the warehouse, he could “do whatever.”

Asked what he hoped to accomplish Tuesday, he said, “it’s kind of just my way of saying goodbye.”
