Supervisor proposes limits on disruptive construction during shelter-in-place

Supervisor Aaron Peskin has introduced legislation that aims to keep landlords from engaging in construction work in ways that disrupt the lives of their tenants who are sheltering in place. Tenant Andrea Carla Michaels says her power and water are frequently shut off without warning and construction work is done without proper dust mitigation. Peskin's proposal would require that landlords provide alternative electrical and water supplies if the construction they’re doing results in either being shut off.
