Did not know that. Seems logical!

Believe the rule to be 16 and less (or 17 and above) http://www.google.com/search?as_q=&hl=en&num=100&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=16+or+more+dwellings&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&safe=images On-Site Manager Apartment houses of 16 or more dwellings or hotels of 12 or more guest rooms must have an onsite manager who can be contacted by the city in case of emergency. The name, unit number and contact information of this individual must be posted at the front entrance to the building.

The requirement for an on-site manager used to be in the SF building code I believe. The threshold where a manager was requried was at 15 units and above. So, if you see buildings with 14 units and a basement unit used for storage (as in my building) you will know why.

It seems like 25-ish units must be threshold for trouble. I live in a 15-ish unit building in that same general neighborhood and there almost seems like no need for a manager. Granted the owner is pretty involved, but there are just so few issues that require any attention. Same for previous places I've lived. 7 unit building on Larkin: No problems. 80-unit loft-building in SOMA: people acted like animals. It's a sociological thing, I'm thinkin'

I saw some previous posts on other sites that descibed "Honestly, the constant partying, yelling, screaming and random stair running was enough to give me an anneurism", along with description of the manger as being nuts after sitting through some restraining order sessions, which is mostly neighbors, you really find out it's not just low income places. It goes all the way up Nob Hill, up into Twin peaks, pretty much all over.. except I think when it gets into Pacific Heights the crazies are called 'eccentric' by then whether it be 6th street or nob hill, building management makes all the difference

I've never seen those sign, but believe it. It's so sad considering how GORGEOUS and excellently-located the building is

Interestingly, this is not the first time SFist has received materials regarding Jerry. We've had two or three tips in the past, though they were just minor anecdotes; never enough to justify a post. I don't believe I've ever heard a positive word spoken about him. There are signs all over that Burke-Lewis building, inside and out; and all of them are unfriendly.
