The editor of Downcodes will take you to pay attention to the "adventures" of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's $27 million mansion in San Francisco. Instead of providing comfort, the luxury property has become embroiled in litigation over serious structural issues. A leak from the mansion's infinity pool caused damage to the home's interior, a faulty sewage pipe added to the trouble, and the developer has been accused of misrepresenting the condition of the property. The incident raised concerns about the quality of high-priced properties and the responsibilities of developers, and also added many surprises to Altman's luxury life.
Recently, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (Sam Altman) has encountered some troubles. Instead of bringing him a comfortable life, his $27 million mansion in San Francisco has become the source of a lot of trouble. Located on prestigious Lombard Street, this 9,500-square-foot mansion overlooks the city and bay.
A highlight of the mansion is a four-sided infinity pool that hangs over the edge of the house. However, the pool became a big problem. In August last year, the swimming pool leaked, causing the ground floor of the home to be flooded, the plaster ceiling to collapse, and widespread mold to appear. According to Altman's legal team, the cost to repair the pool could exceed $4 million.
To make matters worse, there is also a problem with the sewage pipes in the mansion. Unconnected bathroom sewer lines dumped raw sewage on the ground, multiple leaking irrigation lines and water seeping through skylights, the lawsuit alleges. These problems not only affect the beauty of the mansion, but may also have a serious impact on the living environment.
This isn't the first time Troon Pacific has run into problems. In May, the company was ordered to pay $50 million to investors after they financed a San Francisco home renovation project that was never completed, while the company allegedly made millions from it.
For now, Altman may have to deal with these inconveniences while the lawsuit proceeds. Maybe he could ask ChatGPT for help with some problems—or, better yet, give him some advice on how to find a new place to live.
Altman's experience once again reminds us that even high-priced luxury homes may have serious quality problems. Consumers should choose carefully when purchasing real estate and conduct adequate investigation and legal protection. The editor of Downcodes will continue to pay attention to the subsequent development of the incident.
