San Francisco permits — week of 2026-05-11

A $31.4 million fire department training facility at 1200 Carroll dominates an otherwise quiet week, accounting for two-thirds of San Francisco's total declared permit value on its own. The 457 permits filed mark a 13.1% jump from last week, though much of the activity is routine office and residential TI work scattered across downtown towers and Outer Richmond bungalows. The real story is what's not here: no major housing starts, no large mixed-use proposals — just one civic building and a city grinding through its backlog.
