Posted by Void Diver " Siri, google 'Nady Building Emeryville' "
|
Heading your advice, I did The Google, and found out this place is a dump. Including a Google Street View from a year ago. I also found this tasty bit, dated January 1st, 2019:
"Significant progress was made in December towards abatement of the blighted 'Nady Site' at 6701 Shellmound Street. A Compliance Agreement was signed by the developer, property owner, and City, effective December 19. The demolition permit was approved on December 18 and is ready-to-issue. Meanwhile, lead-based paint and asbestos removal activities got underway in preparation for demolition of the buildings on the site."
That, from a link on the first page of results. Granted, The Google was very scary and it was difficult to push the buttons with all the letters on them, but I faced my fears and persevered. I expect The Google Machine will be easier to use next time - as I am no longer a scared.
OP - If you can read through my intended douchy sarcasm, you should have figured this is now ACTIVELY undergoing lead and asbestos abatement. Seeing as you won't know for 30+ years whether the HEPA cartridge in your respirator did its job, I personally would leave this one alone. Besides that, reading all the Google links, it really does sound like a dump and probably not worth the explore.
Stay safe.
