The city's public works department says sidewalk improvements are being made for people with disabilities and that a San Francisco homeowner has to remove his flagpole.
"We like this flagpole. It's part of the reason we bought the house," said homeowner Peter Stearns."She runs down the street. It symbolizes where the house is. 'There's home Dada.'""I love seeing the flag. We moved here from France and my daughter learned what the American flag was," says Camille Kennedy.
But the problem is the City doesn't want the flagpole. At least not where it is. The Department of Public Works left a notice recently at the home saying it has to be removed or that he needs to apply for a permit. But the notice doesn't say why. "A little bit frustrated. Reached out to the inspector to try and get a little information," said Stearns.
The homeowner says he's tried calling and emailing the Department of Public Works. But hadn't heard back.So KTVU placed a call. Rachel Gordon, the spokeswoman for the department, said the city is making improvements on the sidewalk for people with disabilities and that the flagpole is in the way. She also said that if the homeowner wants to keep the flagpole, he can apply for an approximately $2,000 permit to move it someplace else.San Francisco public works employee one year from retirement loses job over vaccine refusal"My wife and I work full time.
