Monday, 50 tenants were evacuated from an SRO hotel at 816 Geary Street due to a gas leak. One man, only identified as "Eddie" was later found dead inside the building.
The gas alarm had been sounding off for up to 24 hours, but was paid no heed. Eight other hotel tenants were injured in this incident.
SRO hotels are home to many challenged and disabled people. This is the kind of preventable tragedy that could have been avoided through proper training and alarm response.
Our condolences to those involved.
