San Francisco Board of Appeals adopts minutes, reduces penalty and rules on jurisdiction requests
Summary
At its August meeting the Board of Appeals unanimously adopted prior minutes, reduced a penalty for unpermitted work to the statutory minimum, denied a late-jurisdiction request and adopted planning findings on several items; several contested appeals were continued for inspection or denied.
The San Francisco Board of Appeals met and handled a mix of procedural and contested matters. President Frank Fung called the meeting to order and the board adopted the August 5 minutes by a 5–0 vote.
On appeal number O9–O78 (657 Huron Avenue), Department of Building Inspection staff recommended a reduction of a penalty assessed for construction without a permit. The board voted 5–0 to reduce the penalty to the lowest amount permitted by law (two times the regular fee).
On a jurisdiction request concerning 1760 Filbert Street, a neighboring property owner asked the board to take late jurisdiction over an interior-remodel permit. Planning staff and the permit holder said no special notification was required; after discussion the board denied the late-jurisdiction request 5–0.
The board also handled procedural business including the adoption of findings on earlier matters and scheduling: several contested items were continued for follow-up inspections and additional submittals where staff requested site visits (for example to verify outstanding violations or necessary plan revisions). The meeting ended after decisions and continuances were recorded.
