We hear appeals against Orders of Abatement for not fixing building code violations.

Abatement Appeals Board

We manage the Department of Building Inspection and oversee enforcement of the city's building codes.

Building Inspection Commission

As a policy-making and supervisory body mandated by the City Charter, the seven-member citizen Building Inspection Commission will manage the Department of Building Inspection and the bodies subordinate to the Commission by overseeing the effective, efficient, fair and safe enforcement of the City and County’s Building, Housing, Plumbing, Electrical and Mechanical Codes, along with Disability Access Regulations.

Litigation Committee

The Client Services Subcommittee focuses on improving the quality, consistency, and predictability of Department of Building Inspection (DBI) services in three key areas: 1. Plan Check and Permitting 2. Inspections 3. Automation/Technology.

Serving the community of San Francisco, building occupants, individual applicants, and the development community, the goal of the subcommittee is to streamline and reduce the approvals process and provide consistent and transparent services to DBI’s clients.
