Contacting the Board of Appeals Office

The Board's office telephone number is 628-652-1150 and our email address is boardofappeals@sfgov.org. Our staff will reply to voicemails and emails received outside of our normal office hours as soon as practicable.

The Board's office staff is on site at the office during business hours. If you have an issue that requires in-person attention, please note that the Board's office staff is limited to an executive director, a legal assistant, and a clerk; to ensure that a staff member with the appropriate expertise is available to address your specific needs, please make an appointment in advance by calling or emailing the office. Appointments are also necessary because the Board office is located in a secured area of the Permit Center (14th Floor); access by the public needs to be arranged in advance.

Please note that on Mondays, the Permit Center physically opens to the public at 9:00 a.m. (Board staff are available by phone or email starting at 8:00 a.m.).
