SFPUC seeks emergency repairs at Potrero Terrace after heating system failures
Summary
The SFPUC requested and the committee recommended emergency replacement of a leaking space-heating boiler and piping at Potrero Terrace to address health and safety risks; budget analyst reported the emergency cost is about $403,984 and asked the board to fund repairs.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Budget & Finance Committee recommended that the full board approve emergency public-works funding to replace a failing space-heating boiler and distribution piping at the Potrero Terrace Housing Authority facility.
A PUC representative identified in the record as Michelle said the Potrero Terrace heating and distribution piping were "leaking profusely," leaving ground- and second-level apartments without heat and prompting the housing authority to vacate impacted units. The speaker said the broken boiler and piping posed threats to public health and welfare from loss of heat, water damage and electrical hazards and that the SFPUC stepped in because its power enterprise provides electricity to the property.
Mr. Rose, the committee budget analyst, reported the emergency work cost is approximately $403,984 (table referenced in the report) and recommended approval of the resolution to allow the repairs to proceed. The committee closed public comment and recommended the item to the full board without objection so the repairs could be fully funded and completed.
The item on the full board agenda will include the emergency funding authorization and the committee—s recommendation.
