Board of Appeals: permits and appeals roundup — Cole Street, late‑filing request denied, Moffett site permit continued/upheld
Summary
At a single meeting the Board of Appeals resolved multiple procedural and permit items: it upheld a permit for a Cole Street railing (5–0), denied a late‑filing jurisdiction request for a Trotter Court appeal (5–0), and upheld a site permit for 197 Moffett Street after neighbor concerns were addressed and a continuation for transcript review was agreed.
The San Francisco Board of Appeals addressed several assorted items on its calendar, taking votes on appeals and procedural motions.
On a joint recommendation from the Department of Building Inspection, the board upheld a permit for an alteration at 500–508 Cole Street conditional on showing a noncombustible open railing at the property line. DBI staff reported the department’s plan‑check review supports the material; the board voted to deny the appeal and uphold the permit 5–0.
The board denied jurisdiction for a late filing on a permit at 60 Trotter Court, where Hayes Miles sought relief citing family illness and bereavement; after questioning the timing and criteria the board voted 5–0 to deny the request to allow a late appeal.
In another matter, a site permit appeal for 197 Moffett Street raised concerns about adjacent excavation and foundation impacts. The board encouraged the parties to coordinate engineering reviews, recommended the neighbor hire a consulting engineer if concerned, and ultimately upheld the site permit 5–0 while agreeing to provide the neighbor a written transcript and continue the matter as needed to ensure he can review the record before final construction steps.
Other calendar items — including penalty appeals and smaller permit motions — were addressed or continued as noted on the record.
