Anyone have info to share about the flood at 485 Marin? I heard it was a burst pipe on the 16th floor. I could hear water pouring down in the electrical room on the 8th floor, pooling water in the hallways on the 5th.

Pipe issues in new buildings is a fairly common occurrence. Unfortunately, it is the nature of high rise construction projects. Not every pipe layer and welder has the same skill set or work ethic, and these issues won't surface or present themselves until someone has moved into a unit with a faulty pipe or weld that craps out under use. I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say almost every building will experience a pipe issue not long after people first start to move into them. I think what really matters is how responsive is the management company and maintenance team. If an issue comes up, but the building handles it quickly, and effectively, while also taking responsibility, I would cut them some slack. What's really fucked is when a building is having a serious issue but management just shrugs its shoulders and tells you to deal with the consequences on your own. THAT is bullshit.
