Board of Appeals denies jurisdiction request for Duncan Street building permit
Summary
The Board of Appeals on Oct. 7 denied a jurisdiction request concerning a building permit at 437 Duncan Street, concluding there was no basis to take jurisdiction over DBI permit 201204188570S; the vote was 5–0.
The San Francisco Board of Appeals unanimously denied a petition to take jurisdiction over a Department of Building Inspection permit for work at 437 Duncan Street. The requester, Georgia Shuttisch, argued that the Planning Commission and staff applied guidelines incorrectly when approving a stair penthouse and that alternatives in the design guidelines were not considered. Counsel and department staff said the project followed the planning findings, had been reviewed multiple times, and that the appellant had opportunities to object earlier in the process.
After exchanges with staff, the board voted 5–0 to deny the jurisdiction request, concluding there was no procedural basis to reopen the permit on the facts presented. The board’s action leaves the DBI permit in place and closes this particular petition for jurisdictional review.
