I worked in the space that Alhambra used to be in, when it was Sabalas, and later "Mt. Tabor Legacy".  The Fire Marshall seemed to have a hard on for us a few times. We had to cut 2 feet off the bar that had been there for 10 years with out an issue.  They made use do an expensive fire retardant treatment on all the curtains, only to later make us take them down. We eventually got them back up. Tons of other smaller things too. Keep in mind that the main room has 4 exits,  the side room had 3. 

In the 5 years i worked in that building Phil Ragaway was our landlord. He was VERY easy to work with. I'd be shocked if Phil used the sprinklers as an excuse for a rent hike. He was nothing but fair to us in my time there.
