Senior inspector issues notice of violation to Sacred Taco for unpermitted DJ
Summary
Inspectors issued a notice of violation to Sacred Taco (1875 Union Street) after a late‑night DJ performance on Feb. 1; staff say the business previously held a one‑time event permit but has not maintained required permitting and staff contact with the owner.
San Francisco Entertainment Commission staff reported on Feb. 4 that inspectors issued a notice of violation to Sacred Taco, 1875 Union Street, for hosting entertainment without an Entertainment Commission permit.
According to the senior inspector’s report, a 3‑1‑1 complaint was filed Feb. 1 at 12:05 a.m. and inspectors (identified in the report as Young Rice and Adams) arrived at about 12:25 a.m., finding a DJ performing at high volume in the restaurant’s rear area. Staff said the on‑site manager reduced music volume and ended the DJ performance before inspectors left. A notice of violation was issued on Feb. 3.
Inspectors told the commission that Sacred Taco does not currently hold active permits from the Entertainment Commission and that the business had previously taken out a one‑time event permit in September 2024; staff said the manager who applied for that permit is no longer with the business. Staff are attempting to contact the owner, whom inspectors said they have not yet met, to assist with the permitting process if the business wishes to continue hosting entertainment.
The senior inspector characterized this as the only enforcement action on the night’s report; commissioners asked no follow‑up questions and there was no public comment on the report. Staff noted they have received 74 3‑1‑1 complaints since the Jan. 7 hearing and invited commissioners to ask questions about enforcement patterns.
Commissioners and staff did not announce any additional penalties or license suspensions during the meeting; the notice of violation was the formal action documented in the packet.
