DBI Penalty Costs: San Francisco Collected $4.2M in DBI Penalties Last Year. How Much Did Your Clients Pay?
Last year, the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection (DBI) collected over $4.2M in violation penalties and fees. How much of that bill did your clients foot?
These penalties are often hidden inside your permit fees when resolving a code issue. Even the absolute minimum violation fee is $466—a rate strictly reserved for scope-of-work deviations on projects valued under $500. Since virtually all property improvements exceed $500, actual penalties are significantly higher than most owners expect.
For just $180 per building annually, Property Atlas provides continuous permit and violation monitoring to catch issues before official notices are issued. Preventing even a single low-level violation repays your subscription 2.5 times over.
