SEC. 1339. EASEMENTS.
§ 1339
Property owners must grant easements (rights of way) to the City for sanitary systems, drainage, fire protection, and street lighting, allowing the City exclusive use and immediate access to these facilities.
If you own property in San Francisco, the City has the right to use parts of your land for sewers, drainage systems, fire protection equipment, and street lights. The City can access these facilities whenever it needs to maintain or repair them. These easements are only for the City's use—you cannot use that space for other purposes.
- Could be simpler:The section could clarify what 'exclusive use' means in practice (e.g., whether property owners retain any rights or access over the easement area) and specify the physical scope or width of typical easements.
