Board reduces DBI penalty in negotiated resolution for 1123 Folsom Street
Summary
The Board overruled the Department of Building Inspection and reduced a penalty for work without a permit at 1123 Folsom Street to two times the fee, reflecting a negotiated settlement between the parties. Vote was 4–0.
The Board of Appeals accepted a negotiated resolution in the Paul Iantorno appeal related to work done without a permit at 1123 Folsom Street. DBI staff told the Board they were willing to reduce the penalty to twice the regular fee and the appellant agreed. On a motion to reduce the penalty to the lowest amount allowable (two times the fee), the Board voted 4–0 to overrule the Department and reduce the penalty accordingly.
Board members noted the reduction reflected the Department’s assessment and the parties’ agreement reached after continued discussions since an earlier hearing. The Board’s action resolved that contested penalty assessment at the hearing.
