San Francisco resident urges commission help after 18 days of persistent loud music at public housing site
Summary
A Randolph Street resident told the Entertainment Commission about repeated loud DJ sets and car stereo noise at a San Francisco Housing Authority building; commission staff said they would follow up and may coordinate with City Attorney and SFPD if activity is an illegal nightclub operation.
Phil Gray, a longtime resident of the 200 block of Randolph Street, told the San Francisco Entertainment Commission in general public comment that neighbors had tracked 18 days of “extraordinarily excessive” noise coming from a San Francisco Housing Authority building’s garage and driveway.
Gray said the disturbances included a full DJ sound system inside the garage and cars with modified speakers that shook the entire building, disrupting sleep and schooling for residents. He said he and other neighbors filed 311 complaints and contacted nonemergency police and the property manager, identified in the record as Corritus Property Management, but that he had not received a satisfactory response.
The commission’s director, identifying herself as the Entertainment Commission director (Wilma in the transcript), said staff had collected a business card for Gray and asked him to speak with staff after the meeting. The director noted that illegal nightclub activity is not always within the commission’s direct regulatory purview, but said the commission has working relationships with the City Attorney’s Office and SFPD for those cases and that staff would follow up directly to learn more about the location and facts before determining next steps.
Gray’s comment was made during the meeting’s general public comment period; the commission did not take a formal enforcement action during the hearing. Staff indicated a follow-up contact with the resident and coordination with partner agencies as appropriate.
