Repairs
A study commissioned by the Department of General Services estimates the cost needed for repairs right away could top $10 million. The Unruh building, at 915 Capitol Avenue, is the fifth worst state building in Sacramento, the state’s survey says. Among other things, the report says the state should install a fire sprinkler system right away, and that asbestos and lead paint need to be removed. Safety issues: Lacks fire sprinkler system; asbestos in ceilings, walls, roof; lead paint throughout building. Accessibility issues: Elevators need Braille signage and gongs to indicate floor changes; other signs in building need replaced. Other urgent repairs needed: Historic wood windows need to be repaired; various repairs needed to brick and other masonry. [2]
