Partner has a strong presence throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The Oakland team provides Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs), Phase II Subsurface Investigations, Property Condition Assessments (PCAs), Asbestos Surveys, Lead Testing, Seismic Evaluations, and Zoning Services in support of local and nationwide commercial and multifamily real estate transactions. The Partner Oakland office is led by Sau San, who has more than 15 years of environmental consulting.

Partner provides both local and nationwide Phase I Environmental Site Assessments. Our reports are performed to meet the standards of ASTM E1527-21 or customized to meet individual client or agency lenders' (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) requirements. The Oakland staff are familiar with the blend of dense metropolitan areas, industrial areas, suburbs and agricultural areas that make the Bay Area unique.

Partner provides lenders and real estate investors with Property Condition Assessments. Partner architects, engineers, and commercial building inspectors inspect the subject property in order to gain an understanding of the condition of the building. Most Partner reports meet ASTM E2018-08 guidelines.

Partner provides probabilistic, Level 1 Seismic Risk Assessment (SRA) with Probable Maximum Loss Report (PML) estimation in accordance with ASTM E2026-07 (Standard Guide for Seismic Risk Assessment of Buildings) and ASTM E2557-07 (Standard Practice for Probable Maximum Loss (PML) Evaluations for Earthquake Due-Diligence Assessments). While Partner offers PMLs to every seismic zone in the United States, Bay Area residents, or those that do commercial or multifamily transactions in the Bay Area, truly understand the importance of an accurate PML report. Understanding the local geology and correctly reflecting the math in a PML report is most important to those that purchase or lend on a commercial or multifamily property in the Bay Area.

Partner performs Phase II Environmental Testing either in support of a financing decision or to meet the requirements of the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. Most of our reports are performed to meet the standards set by ASTM E1903-97(2002) and may include soil and groundwater assessments, tank removals, soil vapor studies, and geophysical surveys. Our Oakland staff understand the highly variable local geology of the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as regulatory agencies including the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County CUPAs which provide oversight of Phase II assessments and tank removals/cleanup.

As an add-on to a Phase I ESA or Property Condition Report or as a separate service, Partner offers assessments and solutions to address the risks of asbestos, lead paint and mold. While conducting a Phase I ESA, Partner is able to complete a visual evaluation of accessible areas for the presence of Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) and Lead-Based Paint (LBP). If desired, or as part of a property due diligence assessment as required by a lender, sampling of suspect ACM and LBP can be conducted to determine if proper abatement should be conducted as part of project renovation and demolition. Partner offers a variety of Lead-Based Paint services including Inspection, Testing, Risk Assessments and Clearance Inspections. Moisture and Mold issues can escalate quickly if not addressed promptly. We offer mold testing, assessments, and remediation to help owners address and mitigate this concern.

Partner is a coordinator and preparer of ALTA/NSPS Surveys, Boundary Surveys, Topographic Surveys, and Zoning Reports across the United States for use in commercial transactions. We effectively handle and facilitate the coordination of land surveyors, title, ordering, process, product, and delivery. We manage the entire process of acquiring your survey and can effectively manage single-site or multi-site transactions. Our extensive network allows us the flexibility to provide a registered professional land surveyor for any site location—nationwide—with competitive pricing. We will coordinate all questions and comments from all transaction parties with the site surveyor and furnish reliable timely surveys all from one point of contact. A Zoning Report is a necessary part of many real property transactions because the current owner is responsible for existing zoning violations. Partner’s Zoning Reports take usage regulations into consideration, as well as local and municipality provisions and other regulations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
