### Fisker's Former HQ Found in Disarray, Landlord Faces Cleanup Ordeal

A significant mess was left behind as Fisker vacated its previous headquarters, leaving the landlord with a challenging cleanup issue. According to a legal filing in Fisker's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, the once high-flying electric vehicle maker handed back the keys to its La Palma, California facility on September 27, only for the landlord to discover an untidy and potentially hazardous site.

The landlord, Shamrock (La Palma) Properties II, LLC, reported that Tony Lenzini took over the premises and was confronted with the remains of Fisker's departure. The facility, leased in April 2022, was left cluttered with property, including two clay car models, various pieces of furniture, automotive parts, and obvious signs of an attempt at removal that failed. This has left Shamrock facing expensive cleanup and hazardous waste disposal costs.

A walkthrough on September 24 with representatives from Huron Business Advisory, Fisker, and Heritage Global Partners indicated plans to clear the facility. However, Lenzini later observed a chaotic scene on the final day, with unknown individuals removing items haphazardly. Despite assurances from a Fisker representative that the site would be cleaned, substantial waste remained, including drums of oil and coolant, various chemicals, and numerous automotive-sized batteries.

Complicating matters further, Lenzini has been receiving multiple calls from individuals claiming to need access to the facility for parts or equipment. The confusion suggests that one or more third parties might have a vested interest in the items left behind. Until the matter is clarified, the landlord has locked the facility and awaits further instructions.

Fisker's hasty exit highlights the broader issues surrounding its collapse. The landlord now faces an uncertain and costly effort to restore the property to a state that can welcome new tenants.
