The SF Planning Department has revoked approvals for a $700-a-month sleeping pod complex due to noncompliance with affordable housing regulations and other permit violations.
The proposal for sleeping pods at 12 Mint Plaza faced heavy scrutiny from the Department of Building Inspection due to previous safety violations, including installing pods without proper permits.
The sleeping pods were deemed too small to meet the city's affordable housing requirements, which mandate that projects with over ten units provide a percentage for low-income residents.
Planning Department chief of staff Dan Sider remarked that while innovation is welcome in disrupting the housing market, tenant safety must not be compromised.
