Commission approves multiple entertainment permits; inspectors report a recent notice of violation at 433 Clay Street
Summary
Members approved several consent and regular-agenda permits (Noise Pop summer series, Murios, Coswell's parklet speakers, 7 Social/65 Post, Zhoosh at 1548 California). Senior inspector reported a notice of violation issued to Third Floor (433 Clay Street) after measured indoor sound violations and Good Neighbor Policy breaches.
The commission handled a series of consent and regular-agenda permits on June 18 and approved staff-recommended conditions for multiple applicants.
Key approvals included: - Murios (consent agenda) — staff noted an internal sound limit already set and approved the permit with recommended conditions (SEG 376–414). - Noise Pop Industries — approved a multi-week outdoor amplified-sound permit (weekends June–September) with neighborhood-lead monitors and coordination among participating businesses; Charlie Schmitz described on-site neighborhood leads to monitor sound and serve as a point of contact (SEG 416–563). - Illuminate the Arts — approved (see separate article) pending Port permit (SEG 566–955). - Coswell’s FPAS — approved to allow low-level recorded music in the parklet with Sonos speakers and staff conditions; applicant Nathan Sheeran described Sonos installations and licensing compliance (SEG 959–1048). - 7 Social (65 Post Street) — approved POE and EHP items with staff conditions, noting outreach to nearby hotels and property owners (SEG 1051–1188). - Zhoosh/Judge (1548 California Street) — approved POE under the new zoning allowance and internal sound limit (SEG 1190–1313).
Enforcement: Senior inspectors reported 53 311 complaints since June 4 and described the June 8 inspection at Third Floor (433 Clay Street) where a three-piece band — especially the drummer — exceeded indoor limits (13 dBA and 11 dBC above allowable limits); staff issued a notice of violation and followed up with management and the police department (SEG 145–174).
Why it matters: The approvals move multiple neighborhood- and citywide entertainment programs forward while the enforcement action signals active oversight by inspectors and Deputy Director Azevedo.
What’s next: Staff will follow up on conditions, set internal sound limits where required, and continue 311-based enforcement and inspections for compliance; applicants were instructed to coordinate outreach and provide contact information for realtime neighbor communications.
Provenance: Murios consent and Murios approval — SEG 376–414; Noise Pop presentation and approval — SEG 416–563; Coswell’s FPAS presentation and approval — SEG 959–1048; Third Floor notice of violation and inspector details — SEG 145–174.
