SEC. 1383. CONFORMITY OF HOUSING, BUILDING AND PLANNING CODES.
§ 1383
Before a final subdivision map can be approved, the developer must show that the property complies with the City's Housing, Building, and Planning Codes, either by correcting any violations or by setting aside funds or bonds (approved by the Director) to ensure corrections are completed before any unit in the project closes escrow.
When a developer wants to subdivide land in San Francisco, they have to prove that the property follows all the housing, building, and planning rules before the city approves the final map. If there are any code violations, they must either fix them or put money into an escrow account (or post a bond approved by the Director) to guarantee the fixes will be done before anyone buys a unit in the project.
- Could be simpler:The phrase 'prior to recordation of the Final Map or Parcel Map' and the escrow/bond requirement could be stated more clearly for readers unfamiliar with real estate terminology.
