Nuisance eviction notices reached 423 in fiscal 2025-2026, up from 323 the year before, according to figures cited by Mission Local.
Supervisor Myrna Melgar is introducing legislation Tuesday to define "nuisance" more narrowly in eviction cases. She cited six seniors at 1120 Jackson St. in Chinatown who received nuisance notices for allegedly having too many belongings, as reported by the San Francisco Standard. Melgar said the current language is too vague and invites abuse.
