Description
An appeal of the building official's decision to condition a permit extension on updating the 199-unit apartment project's plans from the 2019 to the 2025 California Building Code. The board unanimously upheld the building official, denying the appeal, while urging the parties to seek a compromise.
Impact summary
The Board of Appeals denied it on Nov 4, 2026.
The decision keeps the seismic and safety upgrade requirement in place but the board's compromise recommendation may soften the blow; the project's fate likely rests on negotiations or ongoing litigation.
