Summary

At its Oct. 16 meeting the Board adopted minutes (5–0), denied a rehearing request for 1946 Eighteenth Ave (5–0), and granted an appeal for a Hampshire Street remodel with conditions—removing Unit 821 from the permit, limiting construction hours, and requiring 48-hour notice for utility shutoffs (5–0).

The San Francisco Board of Appeals voted on several procedural and permit matters on Oct. 16.

Minutes: The board adopted the minutes of its Sept. 25 meeting on a voice vote, recorded as 5–0 in favor.

Rehearing request (1946 Eighteenth Ave): Commissioner Daryl Honda moved to deny appellant Zhu Chen’s rehearing request on the grounds there was no manifest injustice in the prior proceedings. The board voted 5–0 to deny the rehearing request.

Hampshire Street permit (appeal 1967, permit 201906062775): After hearing reports from Department of Building Inspection senior inspector Joe Duffy that work exceeded the scope of the original permit and discussion of tenant concerns, the board granted the appellant’s appeal and issued the permit on conditions. The board’s action, recorded as a 5–0 vote, required the permit to be revised to: remove Unit 821 from the scope of work (so the remodel covers two units, not three); limit construction to Monday–Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and require Hampshire to provide 48 hours’ notice to Mr. Castro of any planned utility shutoffs. The motion noted enforcement practicalities discussed by DBI but recorded the parties’ agreement to the conditions.

Continued items: The board continued the variance appeal for 1606 Jones Street to Nov. 13 so Planning can review submitted photos and plans and report back; that continuance was carried 4–0.

Votes recorded in the minutes are consistent with the board’s verbal roll calls during the meeting.
