Abatement Appeals Board continues Ashton Avenue appeal after DBI admits filing error
Summary
The San Francisco Abatement Appeals Board continued the appeal for 6925 Ashton Avenue after DBI staff acknowledged that the appellant's brief had not been posted or distributed to commissioners, prompting a unanimous vote to continue to the next hearing so materials can be reviewed.
The Abatement Appeals Board on a unanimous vote continued the appeal for 6925 Ashton Avenue after DBI staff acknowledged it had not properly posted or distributed the appellant’s brief, leaving commissioners without necessary materials to proceed.
DBI staff told the board that the appellant’s submissions were timely but that staff failed to provide the documents to commissioners. At the hearing the appellant said she was aware of the omission and remained present. President Chavez moved to continue the case to the board’s next available hearing; Vice President Newman seconded and the motion carried on a unanimous roll call.
The continuance pauses any further deliberation or enforcement action on the item until commissioners have the opportunity to review the appellant’s filings. The board’s procedural instructions stated that DBI would present first and the appellant would have seven minutes to speak at the resumed hearing. No additional public comment was taken at today’s session.
The board did not decide merits of the underlying abatement or cost assessment; instead it allowed time for the record to be completed before proceeding.
