The Ghost Ship didn't have smoke detectors, a fire alarm, or emergency lighting. It did have blocked staircases and cluttered pathways, and the available staircase was fairly flammable. It had people warning about some of these problems; they were ignored.
It looks cool/arty, and OK to wander through in an afternoon, but it also looks like the last place I'd expect to find a party.
The closest place I can think of for a similar labyrinth of clutter is Camden Stables Market in London [0][1]. But it's a daytime clothing, art and antiques market, not an event space. You can see the green emergency exit signs in some of the photos; doors have notices things like "This door to be open during trading hours".
For your tradeoff, how low do you propose we go?
[0] Camden Town has several markets. If you've been, this is the one you're least likely to have visited, and it's furthest from the station.
