Damaged Public Property at 143 The Embarcadero

CLOSED Case Resolved. The doors are like this for a safety reason. These are the doors under the arcade by Gott’s. In an actual emergency when the building is in full alarm the exterior first floor doors open automatically for exiting. The one by Gott’s is one of the automatic doors that is tied into the Fire Life Safety system. When the alarm goes off those doors swing wide open. After hours the arcade gates are brought down to keep the building safe. If the building has an after hours emergency and someone is in the arcade area while the gates are down they can get out of the area by going through doors with panic hardware. - almost 6 years ago #9284352
