Elevation representative Jonathan Pearlman said the project is undergoing an environmental review by the SF Planning Department. After that, plans will be filed for approval with the Department of Building Inspection.

This is the second residential development proposed for the neighborhood in recent weeks; in mid-April we announced another proposed mixed-use development in the permitting process behind Cha Cha Cha (1801 Haight St.).
