The board also adopted an attendance policy and set conditions on a contested remodel permit.
The San Francisco Board of Appeals handled a large set of procedural and permit items on Dec. 6, adopting findings and resolving appeals by majority votes.

Separately, the board considered a contested remodeling/remediation permit at 2207–229 Seventh Avenue (PO 06-164) and, after hearing tenant concerns and negotiations, voted to uphold the permit with conditions. The key conditions recorded by the board were: plumbing fixtures restored within two weeks of DBI lifting any suspension, all remaining work completed within 60 days, 48-hour notice to tenants of any utility shutoffs, landlord to provide an alternative parking arrangement for one vehicle during construction, and any rent-control pass-through limited to the DBI valuation schedule for a bathroom remodel ($6,315.21). The motion to uphold the permit with these conditions passed unanimously.
The board also adopted an attendance policy following the mayor’s template with an added line describing total annual meetings; the motion passed 4–1.
