SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu announced Thursday his office has sent cease and desist letters to four construction companies for allegedly violating zoning laws and causing dust pollution near the city’s Candlestick Point area.
The properties are owned by Murphy Properties, Inc., and the company rents space to Bauman Redi-Mix Concrete; M Squared Construction; and Precision Engineering; which use the spaces for industrial purposes like mixing concrete and asphalt, transporting soil, and storing materials. Furthermore, as many as 40 trucks travel to and from the sites daily, creating additional dust and noise, Chiu’s office alleged.
The cease and desist letters were jointly developed with city’s Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure, formerly known as the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency.According to Board of Supervisors president Shamann Walton, whose district includes Candlestick Point, Bayview, and Hunters Point, complaints from residents led to an investigation by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
