Re: Building Roof Installation Complete
by Paige P
Hi Valerie,
We did see some leaks but perhaps we noticed them before the roofing was
100% done in the Sudo Room area: On 12/16 there were leaks at each
skylight. Books mentioned they would talk to you but I didn't get a report
back.
We will let you know if we see any leaks going forwards. No extensive water
removal was needed this season which was great! Thank you!

Re: Deed to 4799 Shattuck was recorded on 9/9/2024
by Paige P
The 4 leases recorded were Sudo Mesh, Counter Culture Labs, Food Not Bombs,
and Omni Commons.
Sudo Room's and Free Store's leases were included under the Omni Common's
nonprofit, because for now they are still fiscally sponsored projects of
Omni. Jesse and William have been working on filing paperwork to make a new
separate nonprofit for Sudo Room. It is specified in the existing Sudo Room
(under Omni) lease that CALLI will allow the current lease terms to
transfer over to the new Sudo Room nonprofit once formed.
Wood St Commons and Cee Cee's basement media lab will also be signing a new
lease with CALLI, but it was not recorded with the closing documents given
the time constraints.
The only news we have had so far about operations is that CALLI will be
pausing events for a period of time. We haven't gotten any news on access,
but we should expect some changes there. Our lease states we will no longer
have 24/7 for all members (can only access during "open hours" or when
permission granted for events), but after a new access door is created, we
can have 24/7 access when a "designated individual" is around to close the
building. There also may be some change in access times due to roof
repairs, but no news yet on that either.

4799 Shattuck Building Updates_February 2025
by Valerie Jameson
Hello Omni Building Goers,
I hope that this message finds you and all of your relations are healthy,
warm, and resilient during this tumultuous time. Given all the moving parts
with the building, I thought I would send a recap and update email early.
There will likely be a part 2 of this email at the end of the month. Please
note that relevant dates are highlighted in yellow!
*Recaps and Reminders*
1. *Trash protocol*: The bins have been going out full every Monday and
Thursday afternoon/evening. I am anticipating a slow down in the next two
week or so. However, the trash room has been reorganized to support
overflow trash. There is a section above the receptacles as well as below
the electronic waste section in the corner where items can be left. If they
are in those areas they can promptly be added the next time the bins become
available.
1. Please refrain from leaving trash in front of the door
2. Cardboard boxes should be broken down and put inside of the bins.
CALLI has had to take on the task of breaking down other peoples
recycling
on multiple occasions and that takes away from our regular
responsibilities. If access to a box cutter is needed please let me know.
3. Our team has been cleaning up the entryhall to make it a usable
space for meetings and events. Moving forward I want to discourage items
being dumped in the entryhall. Any items that groups wish to
have discarded
should be placed in the trash room. If placement in the trash
room poses an
issue because it is a bulk item, folks should reach out to me directly to
make alternative arrangements.
2. *Leaks*: We have had a few days of heavy rain and a few small leakes
have been reported. All of the locations I have investigated are directly
above a vent which doesn't fall under the new roof installations scope. If
anyone comes across a leak or water dripping, I highly encourage photos of
the location to be taken, and recommend angling the camera to show the
ceiling. If it is a sustained drip, short videos would also be helpful to
see. Thank you to those who have been reporting thus far.
3. *Tool room*: CALLI is encouraging Omni Commons representatives and
individuals that have personal items in the tool room to make arrangements
to remove/relocate the items in the next two weeks. After* February 21st*,
we will be changing the lock on the tool room door. This will make it
easier for us to manage the building, reconfigure and secure the space, and
inventory check/purchase the necessary tools and hardware for ongoing
repairs and maintenance in the building.
1. Throughout the building clearing process, I have/will continue to
relocate items that are clearly labeled to a group in the groups
(lessees)
dedicated space or the back foyer storage.
2. Although we will be changing the locks on the tool room, that
doesn't mean that resources left behind wouldn't be made available to
groups upon request. If there is a need to use the key cutter or a large
vacuum please just let me know. A more formal checkout system can be
implemented, but for now I think it is fine to keep informal.
3. If there are items such as the steel husky storage/workbench that
an owner *wants* to claim, but prefers to let us use for building
purposes, I would still like to be made aware so that I can document
ownership and make arrangements with that person directly. *CALLI
would gladly utilize items currently in the tool room that are
relevant to
building repairs.* We would just like to have some autonomy over the
space and are trying to proactively avoid future disputes and claims over
personal items.
*What's New & Updates:*
1. *Locked storage*: I added a lock for the black cabinet in the back
foyer storage. If groups have costly office supplies, tools, or other
*shared* equipment, I encourage you to place those items in the
locked cabinet vs the open metal storage. I will send out the combination
code to building designees we have on file. However, if others would
like access they can reach out to me directly. If a security/access breach
happens with the cabinet and items go missing or non permitted individuals
are given the combination, let me know as soon as possible and I can
promptly switch out the locks.
2. *Entryhall floor cleaning*: Some of you may have seen or noticed that
our handyperson (Don Luis) cleaned most of the entryhall floor this week.
Next week we would like to do another cleaning and floor polishing of the
entire area. Effective *February 13th*, the Free Store will be
temporarily relocated to the back corner of the entryhall to allow for
proper cleaning of the front of the entryhall and floor polishing. Please
prepare for the free store to be in the alternative location for at least 1
week but possibly 2 weeks depending on further maintenance and repair
issues that arise upon further inspection of the area.
3. *Interior doors project wall inspection: *CALLI will be inspecting
the framing inside the walls of locations where interior doors are being
contemplated. Don Luis will be cutting into wall paneling and
drywall on February
7th. Portions of the wall will be left open for further building
inspection and determinations on next steps. Please anticipate that the
back hallway will be in an active renovation project for the next few
weeks. Steps will be taken to place temporary covering on the opening, but
please discourage anyone from tampering with the opening.
4. *Building exterior siding project*: CALLI has escalated the process
for identifying a company to come and repair/replace the exterior wooden
boards of the building. This is the next large building (capital)
improvement we will be working to address. Some folks may have seen wide
gaps along the back Sudoroom wall just below the ceiling. This does not
have to do with the roof, but instead is a result of the badly damaged wood
boards sticking out from the side of the building that have needed serious
repair for the last 10 years. Don Luis was able to do some temporary patch
work ahead of the heavy rain, but this will be another large project that
will hopefully strengthen the longevity of the building.
As always if questions, thoughts, ideas or concerns come up please do not
hesitate to reach out.
Take care,
--

4799 Shattuck Building Newsletter_July 2025
by Valerie Jameson
July 19th, 2025
Good afternoon building community,
For those of you who noticed my absence this past week I have been due to a
positive covid test result. I anticipate being fully recuperated with a
presence back in the building by Wednesday. I am also long overdue in
sending out a building newsletter. Please review the following information
for updates, next steps, what's to come, and key recaps and reminders.
Updates
1.
Access Control Change: After six months of review and deliberation CALLI
has decided to move forward with changing the access control for the front
entrance of the building. We will be working with Safe & Sound Security to
install the Brivo access control system on the front door. The installation
is currently scheduled for the morning of Thursday, August 21st which
gives us ample time to prepare for the change. We will be focusing on
rolling out mobile pass credentials. (Check out the first minute and 25
seconds of this Brivo Mobile Pass
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9enfG5Przc> video for a sneak peak)
2.
Reasoning: For those with the longest tenure in the building, we
recognize that this will be a significant transition. We have chosen to
keep the side door entrance on the existing system that legacy groups
currently control and administrator. Our decision was motivated by
identifying a cloud-based solution that CALLI could consistently administer
that would meet our current and future needs in the building. We chose
Brivo for it's ease of administration, remote capabilities, and
scalability. For the foreseeable future I will be the primary CALLI
administrator for the access control system. Any and all inquiries can be
directed to me on behalf of CALLI & EBPREC.
3.
Logistics: We are starting out with a set number of 100 mobile pass
credentials and want to encourage each lessee to limit their request for
front door credentials to 10 people.
4.
There will also be a limited number of proximity cards available to
check out if there are credential holders that are not able to utilize
Brivo mobile pass on their phone. These proximity cards will require a $5
security deposit with CALLI and should only be requested as a last resort.
We want to move away from card access control because it adds additional
challenges to access management but recognize the need to have an
alternative option available.
5.
People Management: While the list of people with front door access
control will be slimmer, the Brivo system also enables us to capture a
broader range of building stakeholders, including individuals who get
banned from the building through Brivo user profiles. Profiles will also
make it easy to verify individuals that are members of organizations that
require entry into the building. I will be paying more attention to front
door notifications on the app then I do when the doorbell rings, and have
the capacity to provide remote door access. The remaining set of access
control credentials that are not claimed by lessees can be added to people
on an ad hoc basis if and when they are hosting an event or are doing an
activity that requires direct access to the building for a limited period
of time.
6.
Directory + Membership List: To help prepare for the transition I would
like each of the six groups in the building connected to a lease (CCL,
EBFNB, Free Store, Sudomesh, Sudoroom, Wood Street Commons) to create a
duplicate of the following Google sheets: Directory + membership list
template
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OcAzBWeWUbM71u3MBmaYfHmTRmDUpEZfFtC…>
and ensure that you populate the three tabs. Please plan to resend me
the information by August 8th so that I can start processing and
uploading the information. This will ensure that we have the most updated
contact information and have a seamless access control transition. The
following are some details about the three sheets.
7.
Org contact list: This is an opportunity to update the points of contact
for key leadership roles. If these positions haven't changed in the last
year you can also notify me that the information remains the same as our
current records.
8.
Membership List: The second sheet should capture all the active/current
affiliates or members of your group. Moving forward this will help
streamline front door management with individuals that don't have access
control credentials who will be able to be verified through the membership
list which will be uploaded to Brivo.
9.
Special Ask: I highly encourage us to get as many member photographs as
possible. As the primary administrator of Brivo, this will really help
minimize biased descriptions of individuals when recounting building
events, and ensure that CALLI is familiar with all of the members of the
building community. Photos can also be added later on once the profiles are
created, so I can also revisit this with individuals directly after August
8th.
10.
Hours of Operations: The final sheet aims to capture existing programs
and space use of each lessee. Understanding the building's average
programming will help me structure my schedule, and make more informed
decisions that better support peoples needs.
11.
Points of contact for events and specific activity can also be given
scheduled access control capability in addition to the individuals selected
by each group.
12.
Capturing this information will also get us one step closer to having a
public Google Calendar for the building to keep everyone in the loop.
13.
ADA Automatic Door Opener: Dave's Lock Services
<https://daveslockservice.com> will be working under Safe & Sound
Security to install the front door automatic door opener for better
accessibility in the same timeline as the access control project. Under the
membership list above, I would also encourage a note be written next to
individuals that indicate needing ADA accessibility so we can plan
accordingly.
14.
Security Cameras: After a lot of deliberation I put forward my
recommendation of installing six wireless Tapo cameras at the following
location
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JCiMhQfrCGA8C6_Um5JK9ZCzk8mUXcMi/view?usp=…>.
The goals behind the locations are included in the link. Please note that
the three inside locations are in areas that are not currently being leased
and are under CALLI's direct oversight. We have chosen not to install
commercial cameras that integrate with Brivo and instead opted for a more
cost effective alternative with local storage that only the CALLI team has
access to. The cameras will greatly support my role and capacity as
Stewardship Manager and can easily be amended or removed if they don't work
out. My goal is to install the cameras on or after July 23rd. If anyone
has further comments, concerns, or would like to be involved in the
installation. Please reach out to me directly.
15.
Siding Project: Since the last newsletter we decided to switch general
contractors for the building's South wall siding project. The process
required a City of Oakland permit transfer to GVD Renovations and pushed
the project out by at least a month. While our completion date is uncertain
(anticipated in September) we will be getting a thicker siding material
with a Class A Fire/Flame Spread Rating.
16.
Interior Doors: In the past we shared that we would be working on adding
two interior doors to the building. Last month we submitted the plans to
the City of Oakland and they are processing additional materials requested.
We anticipate purchasing the door hardware and materials and self
performing the work with Don Luis. Our goal is to get this done before our
next fire inspection.
17.
Cease & Desist: After more than a year of the ballroom having an
enforceable C&D in place we were finally able to get the City of Oakland to
lift the Cease and Desist on the ballroom. HOWEVER, the special events
department has not cleared us for events of 50+ people without needing to
get a special events permit which is an additional $50-$200 per event.
While events are allowed in the ballroom it is still impractical under
these circumstances to expect community groups to pay those additional
costs for gatherings. We are continuing to escalate this issue to the next
level of City administration in hopes of getting a favorable zoning
determination that will finally put this reoccurring issue with the City to
rest.
Recaps & Reminders
1.
Infractions: I will continue to populate the infractions reference
document
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dXb452FzR1u0mAi7dS-FuQB4OfpwW4WR2UE2b7G…>
with a new tab for every newsletter to show instances where building rule
violations or infractions occur that have an adverse effect on building
operations. For July, I also want to pull out the following:
2.
Dumping Bulk Items & Mess: Furniture and other unwanted items should not
be left in the entrance hall. The building does not currently have a
dedicated cleaning staff or budget for dumping. Time spent on cleaning,
breaking down bulk items, and organizing things in the building takes away
from Don Luis and I's primary roles and responsibilities. If folks are
interested in donating to the Free Store that needs to be given directly to
Free Store volunteers or left on the Free Store donation table with their
permission. If the Free Store is interested in items, those also need to be
able to be stored in the designated Free Store storage area at the end of
each day they are open.
3.
Unauthorized breaker being turned on: For the second time in the last
few months I have experienced an issue with the electrical breaker
connected to the outside outlet being switched back on without any
communication or approval. This is a very serious issue that cannot
continue.
4.
High electrical bill: This past month alone there was a $500 increase in
electrical use for the building despite very few approved event activity.
We cannot afford these volatile spikes in utility costs. Please be mindful
to turn off lights and electrical equipment that is not in use. I also want
to request that the lights in the entrance hall be turned off throughout
the day and remain turned off after the free store is closed or standard
building hours.
5.
Space use: Any type of request for space use big or small, short term or
long term, pro-bono or paid will be reviewed on a case by case basis via
this form: https://forms.gle/x4CRcpoCYNRFcQrs5 until we say otherwise.
6.
Engagement: Since May many have done a great job with keeping walkways
unobstructed and paths of egress clear. There have been a lot of proactive
steps taken by groups in leased spaces. I appreciate seeing the sustained
engagement and positive improvements in different spaces. Cheers to
everyone who has played a proactive and supportive role in the building,
please continue to keep the momentum going.
What's New
1.
Volunteer & Collaboration Opportunities:
2.
I have been really grateful to the members of the Omni Commons who have
helped me on my journey to becoming a building whisperer. There are a ton
of skills and experiences across the six groups in the building, and I am
fortunate that folks have extended a helping hand. If you are interested in
supporting building improvements, safety upgrades, and operating procedures
please email me directly to indicate your interest. Topics that I am
actively soliciting input and support for are:
3.
Design ideas for outdoor beautification and what to plant in place of
the Italian Cypress that were removed alongside the building.
4.
Assistance with increasing internet speed in the CALLI office and
creating an additional password protected internet network to house
access control and security cameras.
5.
Design and/or installation of a wireless fire alarm system.
6.
Interest in helping plan a Fall season follow up to our April 1st
gathering. Something to culminate a year with CALLI?
7.
Strategies and ideas for greening the building and incorporating more indoor
plants.
8.
Property Condition Assessment: While we have been planning, scheduling,
and executing on $500,000 worth of improvements to the building for this
first year, we also want to make sure that we determine a process for
implementing future building improvements. Last month we started working
with Basis - architecture and consulting firm to assess the building and
help us plan for future improvements.
On the Horizon:
1.
Reoccurring Payment Option: We have gotten some requests for monthly
reoccurring bills so that rent and utilities can be scheduled on auto pay.
Due to the fluctuation of the utility bills, we were not able to set this
up. After several months of capturing utility information we are confident
that we can roll out an auto-pay program where we populate an average
utility bill amount based on the organization's average and set up a
tracking system to either reimburse or bill for any amount owed at the end
of the year. We have piloted this with one organization, and want to move
in the direction of doing this with the other groups. If there are concerns
with transitioning to reoccurring payments please let me know by the end
of the month. We hope to initiate this for August billing.
2.
Welfare Tax Exemption Application: We are still in the process of
getting the welfare tax exemption and have received comments and additional
requests on our submitted application that are due in September. One of the
concerns is that CALLI does not have signed leases with all of the groups.
Most were assumed in the purchase with Omni Commons. We are talking to
lawyers to determine the best way to go about this. We are hopeful that an
addendum amending the leases will suffice, but there is a chance we may
need to reach out to get leases resigned to appease the County. The terms
of the lease would be identical, it would just be about having CALLI named
and signing as the Lessor. The target date for any changes would be in
August so that either the amendment or resigned leases can go into effect
for the August billing period.
3.
We are doing our best to minimize the impact on everyone, but please
designate and prepare a signatory for this type of request. I encourage
groups to review Section 14 of your leases that references this kind of
situation.
4.
Upcoming Building Rules Implementation: Since receiving feedback on the
V1 building rules and the release of the last newsletter, I have shifted
away from creating responses to comments toward developing additional
training material on aspects of the building rules. Be on the lookout for
future updates. Specific topics to look out for in notices or communication
are guidance on building signage, tripping hazards mitigation,
encapsulation, appliances, and other safety processes.
5.
Connecting with the 44th St building: Since I came back from the Social
Purpose Summit in LA in May I have been in communication with Alex the
Stewardship Manager of the future Critical Resistance owned building on
44th street (Building People Power (BPP) building. We have been talking
about ways to support each other and how to maintain continuity of services
when they break ground on their project. We will be rescheduling a visit to
each other's space in the upcoming week.
I hope this newsletter provided helpful details. Due to changes in my son's
summer schedule, my time in the building has shifted. For the next few
weeks I will be in the space daily until ~2:30 pm. If we need to schedule a
time to meet outside of 9:30-2:30 pm that can be arranged upon request.
Thank you and take care,

Re: [sudo-members] You're Invited: May 20 • Meet-n-Greet
by Ajay Tallam
Technically correct, EBPREC has a nonprofit called CALLI that owns Omni.
I'll also plan to at least make an appearance (I have a call in the middle
of it :/ )
This meeting says its for investors but probably everyone is welcome to
join. It would be good practice for more sudo/omni peeps to attend EBPREC
events, i agree with that!
much love, ajay

Re: Building Roof Installation Complete
by Valerie Jameson
Hey Paige,
We are still in communication with the roofing company and they are
determining if there is anything left that falls within their scope to
cure. Books reached out on 12/13 but we were not able to connect. I did
relay an extensive report to the crew based on my findings and discussions
with folks on site on 12/17 which led to their visit on 12/23. They may
also be stopping by tomorrow 12/27 to address the small leaks along the
parapet wall which is primarily what they were testing on 12/23. With the
exception of an out of scope issue that affects the second floor conference
room, there wasn't much else that they were able to do.
There is a possibility that based on the high winds that some leaks may
come in through the vents which are openings in the building that cannot be
weatherproofed. The first and last picture I attached shows the vent on top
of the sudoroom skylight. The roofing company was able to install the TPO
roof membrane along the edges of the skylights and over the curbs, but they
did not touch the vent that is affixed to the glass that is shown on the
close up picture. The second picture of a roof vent shows a brown colored
streak where there has been water intrusion in the past, and could continue
to pose minor water intrusion risks in the future. This has nothing to do
with vent defects or lack of proper sealant which is visible further down
the vent shaft but is simply a function of the vents design.
The end of this week will be extremely telling. If anyone witnesses new
leaks anywhere in the building please report it to me ASAP.
Thank you!

4799 Shattuck Building Updates_March 2025
by Valerie Jameson
Hello 4799 Shattuck Building Enthusiasts,
It's a beautiful sunny afternoon and I hope you all have had a chance to
feel the sun's warmth today or have made plans to do so this weekend. Below
is our early March addition to the Building newsletter. Please read through
it to the end as there are some important items I don't want you to miss. I
also highlighted key dates for you to keep on your radar.
*Recap & Reminders*
- *Trash Maintenance: *Please remember to utilize the proper bins for
general trash, recycling, and compost waste. The trash room has additional
bins that can be used for your events or meetings. I encourage everyone to
put a liner on every bin (regardless if whether it's recycling or compost)
to reduce the chances of food particles or liquid sticking to the bottom of
the trash cans when they are transferred to the bigger receptacles to go
out.
- *Foyer storage: I have given at least one person in the six lessee
groups the passcode to the Black filing cabinet. I encourage everyone to
continue to organize that space and make it functional as a shared storage
which may include both decluttering and adding items. I will be revisiting
the space in the coming weeks to evaluate its maneuverability and hazard
levels. *
- *Leaks: *The three roof leaks that were reported on 2/13/25 (two in
the Entry hall and one in CLL) were addressed by Sierra Roofing that made
two back to back visits to the building to properly seal a loose seam, and
caulk around a vent. Thank goodness for that warranty! Additionally, during
the atmospheric river in late February, CALLI identified leaks in the
basement that are a direct result from the deteriorated siding on the
Southside wall. We are currently reviewing the bids for that project and
hope to initiate work in the Spring.
- *Office Location*: If someone needs to speak with me regarding a time
sensitive matter I am usually available to address immediate concerns
Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons after 2 pm. Feel free to walk into
the ballroom and knock on the door behind the bar. That is usually the best
location to start if you are looking for me.
*Updates, What's New, & Next Steps*
- *Building Rules: *The long awaited Version 1 4799 Shattuck Ave.
Building Rules is [HERE!!!
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p7yyRqEKfvKxrhcFOBhWbQDMaVKRD1GVYmcAjVY…>]
We highly encourage as many representatives in your groups to review it and
complete our FEEDBACK FORM <https://forms.gle/hEJhREnduWD4im8L8>. I am
able to provide physical copies of the document upon request and I have set
up office hours [SIGN UP HERE
<https://calendly.com/valerie-thecalli/30min>.] in case that is an
easier way for you to comment and engage with the document. I want to
emphasize that this is our first draft (hence version 1) of the building
rules which is likely to change and improve over time. Your participation
in the feedback process can strengthen this document and help us become
more accountable to one another and the space. While I will always welcome
your suggestions, the priority deadline for submitting feedback is
Monday, March 24th. The V1 Building Rules will begin to be enforced in
the next lease period effective March 25th, 2025.
- *Facility Repairs & Improvements*: Don Luis has been out for two weeks
and will return next week! We will also have a plumber on site next Tuesday
to examine the water pressure issue in the back restroom as well as address
other building projects.
- *WATER SHUT OFF NOTICE*: Tuesday, March 11th from 12:3-2:30 the
building may experience water interruptions while we test the water
pressure and troubleshoot various plumbing issues. Please plan
accordingly
and let me know ASAP if this is a concern.
- *Gathering & Brainstorm Session: *As winter winds down and CALLI gets
more settled into the building, we can finally set our sights on what we
want to manifest in the future. We would like to host an informal
gatherings where we can have conversations, brainstorm, and vision
together. The tentative date based on CALLI team members
availability is Tuesday,
March 25th, 2025. Please use this When2Met link [HERE
<https://www.when2meet.com/?29443452-IJ9r5>] by Friday, March 14th to
indicate your availability on that day so we can confirm the time and begin
outreaching.
- *Entryhall floor cleaning*: On Thursday, March 13th Wynd and I will be
relocating the Free Store back to the other side of the Entryhall so that
Don Luis can finish the floor cleaning and polishing process. This will
likely take place on March 18 between 10-2 pm. If you see walkways
blocked off and signage posted please honor the request and go around. I
would encourage everyone to plan ahead by scheduling entrance/exit and
packages to the side door and avoiding the ADA restroom until after the
timeframe allotted.
That concludes my reminders and updates for now. As always please do not
hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
Take care,
--

Re: Looking for a network rack for Omni - second floor
by Valerie Jameson
I should also add that it will be mounted close to a design on the top
mural painted section of the wall behind the beam so I wouldn't want the
rack to interfere with the art if it can be avoided. Nothing bigger
than 12U and 6-9U is probably the sweet spot.
I only saw two on Craigslist that could be considered although they are
pretty far away so not sure that they are worth the drive:
-
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/sop/d/saratoga-kenuco-black-6u-wall-mount/…
-
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/sys/d/sacramento-heavy-duty-wall-mount/78…
<https://sacramento.craigslist.org/sys/d/sacramento-heavy-duty-wall-mount/78…>
Or on Facebook marketplace if it comes with the racks or cyber power its a
plus:
