The San Francisco Fire Department provides fire and emergency services to the City and County of…read moreSan Francisco, California. The SFFD serves an estimated population of 1.2 million people (which includes the approximately 740,000 citizens residing in the 47.5 square miles of San Francisco, the daytime-commuter population, and the thousands of other visitors, tourists, and others present in the City every day) with approximately 1,700 firefighting and emergency medical field personnel. I am very proud of this station for two reasons: 1. My brother has been stationed @ Engine 19 since he came out of the Fire Academy 15+ years ago. He is a Lt. I love my Bro. He lives less than a mile from his work. Rare! 2. Engine 19/Station 19 correct terminology is Engine 19 went through a major renovation. They have a strong commitment to the neighborhood. I see this station daily. Thank God (knock on wood), I have never had to use their services. You can see the fire-fighter's in the neighborhood. Shopping for groceries, shopping in Stonestown Galleria Mall. Yes Firefighters love to shop. Soon I am going to get them Yelping. The Men and Women of the SFFD should be commended. They put their lives on the line everyday. Infodiva reppin the OMI Ingleside Stonestown Lake Merced Lakeside I can see these places daily from my beautiful window.

I called today to report a non-emergency fire alarm that would not stop going off in an apartment…read morein my complex (it had been going off for at least 30 minutes). They were at my door in literally 15 minutes, positively amazing. I didn't even call 911 and didn't expect them to come to me. I have a real a newfound respect for them (I respected them before, but even more so now :) So grateful that they are here. My *only* little gripe is I so wish that they would be consistent with where they start their very fire alarms on their trucks - sometimes they start right at the corner of 27th+Edison and other times they wait until El Camino Real (which is much nicer on our ears). Overall, they are really cool. Keep up the awesome work.

The San Francisco RENT BOARD is prejudiced and biased toward landlords. Many of the clerks don't…read morewanna even talk to landlords and refer them the places that don't help landlords at all? The recent laws passed are all prejudicial due to the governor, the mayor and the Board of Supervisors, who want to maintain their voters from renters because there's more of them than there are landlords? In reading the laws, they're very difficult to find and understand in the rules?? And then when you do find them, they're extremely prejudicial toward landlords? Landlords can't even appeal without a penalty if they do? I hate San Francisco and what it's turned into and tired of being forced to do whatever the RENT BOARD or state of California says to solve the housing crisis which they should've solved decades ago, but spent their money on stupid other things. Now they expect the landlords to pick up the bill and do things in renting their property that make them like partners with the state and the city. As a landlord, I do not work for the city or the state to solve their problems. I own my property and have very few rentals. But I can't get a straight answers from hardly anybody at the RENT BOARD? And then they always refer you to a lawyer which I know I can't afford to spend $600 to ask a question and then the answer is not forthcoming. I think the RENT BOARD needs to hire some attorneys to assist landlords and tenants so they understand the rules and the laws. So I've come to the conclusion not to RENT anymore!

Jin and Matt were lifesavers when it came to looking up ancient records for research on a property…read more Super sweet guys. They were very patient with my repeat questions, explained the book and page and document system, and saved me who knows how many hours of scrambling about. Only 1 star off because: - document cost is quite high ($9+ for any document, and $1 to certify) - the computers there are suuuuper slow. I know there's a large record, but the spinning wheel was always showing and I think in one of the technology capitals of the world, better machines and faster searching could be in place. All-in-all, a pleasant experience. because of the humans there to help.

Nobody wins. The nicest legal action I've seen on this floor are newly minted legal adoptions: Children and parents emerge from the Courtroom happy and tearful, the little ones clutching teddy bears. Only the hardest hearted wouldn't shed a tear. Today I had to get a raised seal original document that proves my son's legal surname. He needs it for legal ID. He can't prove his name from his birth certificate. The family law records office on the 4th floor is superb. They are efficient and polite and I really appreciated their efforts.

Followed the instructions to a tee and still felt like it was not properly installed. I am so glad we followed our gut and reached out to CHP for a safety seat inspection. We spent a little over an hour with volunteer Frank Yee who not only inspected our installation and corrected it (it was done wrong!) but also taught us how to adjust the seat for baby's growth over time, how to safely place them in the buckled seat and how to install the seat without a base when we are traveling in other cars that are not ours. We tried to pay, donate and tip but Frank refused - it was the peace of mind we as new parents really needed and we couldn't be more grateful! Thank you Frank Yee and CHP!
