  • 1111 Pine St Oakland, California, 94607 - Prescott Oakland Point

    The following description if from Oakland Fire Department Lt. Ryan Munekawa. This closed facility appears to be used for storage purposes and has significant structure alterations with a large floor penetration. According to ALCO Assessor, this is a Light Industrial occupancy. Under section 110 under OMC15.12, this property may pose a potential hazardous condition to the adjacent 4-story residential structure (1195 Pine St).

    Good Afternoon,

    This morning, Engine 3 attempted to do an inspection on 1111 Pine Street. We were able to gain access by the contractors that were working on securing the premise. This is a large, ~60,000 sq. ft., 2 story commercial structure that is currently being used as a storage facility with significant fuel load, no fire suppression systems, multiple blocked exits, and a significant hole cut out in the second floor. Please see photos below:

    This roll up door was used to move vehicles to the second floor. If opened, there will be a sudden drop to the ground.
    Individuals Illegally Accessing the Warehouse

    Image.jpeg
    Per contractors on scene, this building has been broken into multiple times. The owner attempts to fortify the exits, but individuals are still making access.
    Large Basement

    Large basement spanning the entire footprint of the building.
    Although minimal fuel load, only way to access is thorough one small stairwell. All other stairwells are blocked off.

    Conclusion

    Since this is private property only used as storage, I am not sure what the Fire Prevention Bureau can do to make this building safer for firefighters/nearby residents. This building is directly next to 1295 Pine Street which is a 4 story residential apartment building and would pose a significant exposure risk. At the minimum, I would like this building to be put on the radar for neighboring companies so we would have a basic pre-plan in case a fire were to happen. If possible, please send an inspector out to look at this structure.

    Two dead pine trees on property. Mitch Thomson is investigating tree closed to the street, as it may be a hazard to public right of way. Requesting that you investigate tree #2, possible threat to 93 Maggiora Dr.
    Per Mitch Thomson:
    • The tree that is closest to the street may be considered a threat to the public street. I’ll check the tree in the field and confirm whether or not it is considered a threat. If it is a threat, it is a violation of Chapter 12.32 of the Oakland Municipal Code, Street Trees and Shrubs. Tree Services administers 12.32 OMC; we’ll put the owner on notice to remove the tree.
    • The other tree, the one that could fall on private property, is a violation of Chapter 8.24 OMC, Property Blight. Dead trees are included in the definition of blight, and are not allowed on private property. The Blight Ordinance is administered by Building Services. Contact them and it will be assigned to a building inspector for follow-up.
