SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Six-hundred tenants were displaced from the 33
Tehama building in San Francisco after a water main broke and flooded much
of the building two years ago.
It just reopened with a new name and a new address.
"I literally felt like I was in a Godzilla movie. There was water dripping
down from everywhere," said Ankur Sharma, a former tenant.
Ankur Sharma shudders at the memory of what he and hundreds of other
tenants went through at 33 Tehama.

In June 2022, tenants were forced from their homes after a massive flood.
Thousands of gallons of water poured down through the entire building.
Hines, the real estate development and management firm that owns the
building, said a water main that is part of the building's fire sprinkler
system failed at the top of the building.

Now, two years later the building has reopened.
Tenants have moved into the newly renamed Spera SF which even has a new
address -- 39 Tehama.
A spokesperson for Hines released this statement saying:
"As of last month, approximately one-third of the original residents from
2022 have returned to the property, and of those who elected to retain
their leases throughout the extensive restoration, nearly 75% returned to
the property."
Sharma decided not to return after he learned that his rent would increase
by 50%.
He now lives in San Diego.
"I wouldn't feel comfortable living there given anymore the false promises
they made so far," said Sharma.

As for the new name and address?
Suzanne Phan: "What do you think about that?
Ankur Sharma: "Absolutely, it's a sham. They are basically just fooling
people so that the previous results don't pop up on Google search. That's
why they changed the name, change the address."
Attorney Nazy Fahimi represents 90 of the tenants who used to live at 33
Tehama in a lawsuit.

"We're going to continue to pursue that. We are hoping for a resolution.
It's clear that Hines defendants are liable. These folks should not be
delayed anymore for compensation for what they've suffered through," said
Fahmi.
Hines says they've done restoration and renovation work inside and out at
Spera SF.
"They are trying to cover up what has happened and try and erase what has
happened," said Sharma.
