Dear Customers,
The National Weather Service is warning San Franciscans to prepare for wind gusts up to 39 mph across the City today and Sunday, with stronger gusts up to 45 mph on the west side near the ocean.
Given this forecast, we want to encourage you to take some basic precautions to keep your building, your neighbors and the people on the sidewalks below safe.
Before the storm
- Close and latch any operable windows and remind your tenants to take this simple, but important step.
- Remove all loose or unsecured objects from balconies, roofs or other outside areas.
- If you see any cracks or signs of distress around a window, contact building management to help secure the opening.
- If construction work is taking place at your building, scaffolding and construction equipment and materials on roofs and outside areas should be secured.
During the storm
- If you see something of concern about a building, call 911 if it’s an emergency or there’s an injury.
- Otherwise, file a report at 311 and the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) will send an inspector to investigate. DBI has a team of 24/7 on-call inspectors prepared to immediately respond to building-related incidents during storm events.
Thank you for your vigilance, and please be safe.
