Cops evicting squatters from an abandoned building on Geary Street earlier this week had to make do without the canine unit after it was, "deemed unsafe due to the large amounts of blood, feces and discarded needles" found inside. According to the Examiner, cops entering the building were greeted with an "overwhelming" lunch-tossing scent of urine and feces, as well as "a swarm of flies in the air" while they evicted a dozen people in the building and arrested three more on prior warrants. more ›

If you're midway through your lunchtime Lean Cuisine, you might want to wait before reading the following. See, 850 Bryant stank to high heaven on Thursday, and not because of this most recent scandal. The Chronicle reports, "As much as two inches of raw sewage flooded five courtrooms at the San Francisco Hall of Justice today after a jail inmate flushed a bedsheet down a toilet." Carpets will have to be replaced. Gross. more ›

A little something to go with your onion bagel and soy latte this morning: SFAppeal and Matier and Ross both have word that someone, well, took a massive crap at Gavin and Jennifer Newsom's new abode. Ahem. Oh dear. According to M&R, "San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, finally moved into their new home in the upper Haight over the weekend - only to have someone promptly defecate and urinate on their doorstep." Which? Is not that unusual for the Haight-Ashbury / Ashbury Heights neighborhood; in fact, it's where your editor learned the distinct odorous difference between animal and human fecal matter. Eve Batey at SFAppeal, however, went one step further, talking to a friend of a friend of the Newsoms, who explained to her, "'I was told they broke in and shit on the couches and it was a big secret.'" The shitting suspect, sadly, was never caught. So, yeah, there you have it. [Inset poop-related zinger here] more ›

Yesterday morning, Lower Rincon Hill -- i.e., more or less everything west of Second Street between Townsend and Harrison, stopping at Fourth Street; and yes huh, it is so a new neighborhood -- was plastered with yellow flyers this morning asking residents to clean up after their dogs. It reads: more ›

Maybe because it's Christmas Eve Day so nobody at the SFPD is getting back to us. But we'll just put this out there and perhaps you, dear readers, can confirm? A tipster tells us that a "portapotty [was] set ablaze at washington btwn polk and larkin" last night. True? We hope not. Or maybe kind of. Really, this story tickles us. Because we're five. Anyway, this would make the 13th portable toilet to get torched since November. more ›

For at the seventh time since November, a port-o-potty was set on fire in San Francisco this morning, according to the fire department. This most recent portable blaze, all of them happening in or near Russian Hill, went up on Taylor Street near Union and Filbert at 12:45 a.m. this morning. No one was injured. SFPD asked to eyewitnesses to report any suspicious porta-potty activity to the police department at 415-553-0123. No matter how funny all this is. more ›

We'd belying if we said that this budding news story doesn't tickle us. It does. Very much so. See, the SF Port-o-potty Arsonist has struck again. It seems the charred remains (hee!) of a portable toilet were, yet again, found on Sunday morning, this time at the intersection of Jackson and Franklin streets in Pacific Heights. SFPD are still on the lookout for a serial port-o-potty arsonist. The toilet infernos, which happen at night and injure no one, haven't caused any serious damage. The last potty blaze hapened on December 6 on teh 1500 block of Vallejo Street. more ›

The Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco produced the above Yes on Prop. R ad, which pays homage to Lyndon B Johnson's infamous "Daisy" ad from the 1964 Presidential campaign. more ›

While SFist is much to dainty to post such vile images of something so natural, fearless LiveJournal blogger Jameth isn't. See, ever since he's been working on Stevenson Street a few weeks ago, Jameth's has collected a harrowing image galley of the (presumably) human excrement dropped daily on the sidewalks of the SOMA not-so-hot spot. Warning: these images are graphic, depressing, and ickypoo. You've been warned. more ›

million California Energy Commission (CEC) grant to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to build the City's first pilot grease-to-biodiesel production facility." And said facility? Will be at the SFPUC's Oceanside Sewage Treatment Plant. The Bush Poop place! Check it: more ›

Does this mean Oh noes! Be careful! We have poison on our grass and don't want your dog to get hurt? Or does it mean, Your dog craps on our lawn, and we're going to murder it? We prefer to think it's the former. Although the above photo was snapped in the Marina, so... it's anyone's guess. more ›

Found somewhere on Church Street, does this sign mean your dog can't release his or her bowels here, or that you must use something to clean up said mess. Is this official-looking sign even enforceable? more ›

Ever since SFist first reported on the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco's plan to re-name the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility in honor of our current POTUS, George W. Bush, it has spread--in the words of T. Wayne Pickering, chairman of the unofficial "Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco--like an "intestinal bug on a Carnival cruise ship." more ›

Looking to honor the forty-third President of the United States of America, George W. Bush, the recently formed Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is looking to change the name of the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility. It seems the group would like to rename the facility to the "George W Bush Sewage Plant." more ›
