We accept permit applications for emergency projects.  
 
Examples of emergency projects include damage to a building from a fire or flooding, compromised gas lines or sewers, foundation or structural issues or other serious issues affecting the habitability of a building.  
 
If the permit you’re filing is in response to an emergency event at your property, please contact us at dbi.emergencyresponse@sfgov.org for assistance.
