Construction began two years ago at 1266 Dolores Street and it has been a struggle with the City Zoning and Planning Department, Building Inspection Department and the Board of Appeals ever since.
The Noe Valley Neighbors in the area surrounding the development have been sending up red flags from day one to the City regarding the developer, project manager and representatives of Dolores Street Holdings, LLC and the fight continues.
The developer has used tactics are that unethical and underhanded when decisions are pending regarding Stop Work orders and Violations. The crews have crossed the Stop Work Order and built faster and in the middle of the night to get their building in before a final decision can be made.
They have damaged the surrounding properties with no regard to the property owners and have no intention of repairing what they damaged. The costs to the property owners is well over $100,000. A mere pitance of what they plan to make off of each apartment they are selling in these two buildings.
This is about ethics, breaking the law and as both the developer and project manager have said " We can do what ever the "bleep" we want to and there is nothing you can do about it".
I will be posting this story over the next few weeks. Buyer Beware. The workmanship is low-end, the price per apartment is high and and the developer is shortcutting to get his way.
