Building Inspection Commission swears in Gina Santoni, approves advisory and examiner reappointments

The San Francisco Building Inspection Commission on July 17 unanimously approved a slate of appointments and reappointments to its advisory panels and administered oaths to members present.

The panel voted to appoint Gina Santoni to the Code Advisory Committee’s remodeling‑contractor seat, term to expire Aug. 10, 2022. Commissioner Warshall moved the nomination; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll‑call vote with President McCarthy, Vice President Walker and Commissioners Clinch, Lee, Moss and Warshall voting yes. Santoni repeated the oath of office and told the commission she works “in the field” and is “thrilled to be here.”

The commission also approved reappointments to the Code Advisory Committee for three‑year terms ending Aug. 10, 2022. Commissioner Warshall read the list of seats and names for the record before the body voted to reappoint the members by roll call. The commission then moved to accept reappointments to the Board of Examiners (terms to expire Sept. 15, 2022); names read included Manuel Flores, Ming Su Chin, Patrick Buskovich, Bradley Sugarman, Bamen Gacemzadeh, Sam Alkateeb, Dan Caracciolo, James Reid, Armin Wolske, Michael Cashin, Jeremiah Sharp, Randy Collins and Michael Robbins. The Board of Examiners members present repeated the oath of office.

The actions were procedural votes taken as part of routine commission business. No amendments to the nominations were offered during the meeting, and no public commenters objected to the appointments when the commission called for public comment on the items.

The commission recessed the appointments portion of the agenda and proceeded to other items on the July 17 docket.
