Two political heavyweights in San Francisco are calling for a legislation that will give small business owners more time to comply with city standards when it comes to awnings.

It turns out there are regulations for them so that firefighters can get their ladders up to second stories, and so they don’t fall on people. But complying with the long-ignored code could cost up to thousands of dollars for permits and repairs.

Breed and Peskin would like to see, “a longer period to correct these things, will come along with some technical assistance from the appropriate departments. So, people can rest easy right now of all of the things weighing on people's minds, we just want people to have peace of mind right now,” said Peskin.

It’s too early to say if any city money will be available for these businesses, but information is on the way. The community is invited to a meeting with city department reps scheduled for Monday at one in the afternoon at Willie Woo Woo Wong playground in Chinatown.
