Neighbors Have Rights

When it comes to San Francisco building permits, neighbors have many options to voice their opinions and seek changes to construction projects. Neighbors and real estate developers will often try to resolve disagreements informally, and our attorneys have had great success reaching win-win agreements. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to file a formal appeal or complaint to protect your rights.

The Government Can Make Mistakes

Sometimes the government denies applications that should be granted, and sometimes it grants applications that should be denied. The San Francisco Board of Appeals has the power to overturn the Planning Department and Department of Building Inspection’s building permit decisions. If you believe the City made the wrong decision, then time is of the essence to file an appeal. If you have missed the deadline to file an appeal, then “late jurisdiction” may be available.
