Background
GENERAL SERVICES
ADMINISTRATION
The Project is located at 630 Sansome
Street (Appraisers Building) and 555
Battery Street (U.S. Custom House), San
Francisco, California. The Project
involves two adjacent historical
buildings in Downtown San Francisco,
California—the Appraisers Building
located at 630 Sansome Street, and the
U.S. Custom House located at 555
Battery Street. The Project is proposed
in order to improve certain systems of
the Appraisers Building and U.S.
Custom House up to current building
code, safety standards and serviceable
condition and to prolong their useful
life. Both buildings contain certain
building elements and building systems
that, due to age, advancement in
technologies, failure, or need for
operational upgrades, must be
addressed.
Alternatives Under Consideration
The Draft EA analyzes an Action
Alternative and a No Action Alternative.
The Action Alternative would repair,
modify, or replace certain building
improvements and systems to improve
certain building systems to current
building code and safety standards, as
well as to prolong their useful life. The
limited scope repairs would address
deficiencies in the following categories:
Electrical; Fire Protection; Architectural
Barriers Act Accessibility Standard
(ABAAS) Compliance; Curtain Walls;
Windows; Roofing; Overhang Canopy;
Elevators; Exterior Cladding; Subbasement Water Intrusion; Building
Systems—Mechanical & Plumbing; and
Window Washing System.
Under the No Action Alternative, the
limited scope repairs and alterations to
the existing Appraisers Building and
U.S. Custom House would not occur.
