SEC. 1341A. SUSPENSION OF PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1341 WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN APPLICATIONS.
§ 1341A
Section 1341's restrictions do not apply to applications filed on or after June 1, 1988 for the first-time conversion of residential units to condominiums, provided that the 200-unit annual conversion limit in Section 1396 stays in force.
When a property converts apartments to condominiums for the first time, applications filed starting June 1, 1988 don't have to follow the rules in Section 1341. This exemption only lasts as long as San Francisco maintains the yearly cap of 200 condo conversions set in Section 1396.
- Complex:The section's effect depends on understanding Section 1341 (not provided) and the continued existence of a limit in Section 1396, making it difficult to grasp in isolation.
- Controversial:Condo conversion policy, including exemptions and caps, is a longstanding contentious issue in San Francisco regarding rent control, tenant protection, and housing supply.
