Attention SFMTA:

This marks the 41st consecutive week of documented noncompliance under Permit No. 1091787 for the closure of the 400 block of Hayes Street.
Same story as prior weeks: a blocked street with only a handful of individuals present, vehicles inside the barricades, and yet again the recurring “SIGNATURE” men’s clothing tent operating without any visible permit. We previously raised this issue and have yet to receive a response.
At 41 weeks, the pattern is undeniable: ongoing violations, lack of enforcement, and continued harm to a vital business corridor. The permit should be revoked and Hayes Street restored to its intended use. The continued lack of engagement from SFMTA leadership only compounds community frustration and erodes confidence in the agency’s management of this permit.
