ON INITIAL CLIMB, AT 400 FT AGL, THE ACFT'S RT ENGINE LOST FUEL PRESSURE. THEN ALL RIGHT ENGIE POWER WAS LOST. THE LT ENG CONTINUED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE PLT FAILED TO FEATHER THE RT PROP & ALLOWED THE ACFT TO SLOW TO THE POINT WHERE A MVC ROLL COMMENCED. HE THEN LOST CONTROL OF THE ACFT AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING & A PARKING LOT. A POST-CRASH FIRE OCCURRED WHICH DESTROYED PORTIONS OF THE ACFT INCLUDING PORTIONS OF ITS FUEL SYSTEM THE STRUCTURES WHICH REMAINED WERE EXAMINED & NO DESCREPANCIES WERE NOTED. THE REASON FOR THE LOW RT ENGINE FUEL PRESSURE & ITS EVENTUAL TOTAL LOSS OF PWR WAS NOT DETERMINED.
