Abatement Appeals Board upholds Third Street order but pauses enforcement pending demolition or permit filings
Summary
The San Francisco Abatement Appeals Board upheld an order of abatement for a fire‑damaged Third Street property but put enforcement in abeyance for up to 90 days, requiring the owner to file an emergency demolition permit within 30 days or a standard permit within 90 days. The motion passed unanimously.
The San Francisco Abatement Appeals Board on an administrative hearing date not specified upheld an order of abatement for a fire‑damaged property on Third Street owned by Alfred McAfee but delayed enforcement to allow the owner a path toward demolition or repair.
Joe Duffy of the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) told the board the case began after a fire reported by the Fire Department on June 9, 2014, that DBI issued consecutive notices of violation and ultimately an order of abatement on Nov. 12, 2014. DBI staff said the department’s file shows prior enforcement dating to 2008, a 2013 permit with no recorded inspections, and no evidence of completed repairs.
