African American Art and Culture Complex and Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts Seismic Retrofit Project
San Francisco Public Works, the San Francisco Arts Commission, and Pankow Builders have partnered to deliver seismic safety improvements at two of San Francisco’s cultural centers: the African American Art and Culture Complex (AAACC) and the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts (MCCLA).

DATE: October 7th, 2026
Time: 10:00am
800 Chestnut St
Site: 4
Reason(s) for Tree Removal: "Permit 805688. Removal of 67 trees (18 street trees, 49 significant trees) with replacement, plus an additional 33 significant trees.
800 CHESTNUT ST - 36 SIGNIFICANT TREES, 5 STREET TREES (41 TREES)
2431 JONES ST - 12 SIGNIFICANT TREES, 10 STREET TREES (22 TREES)

Reasons for removal:
8 street trees are in poor condition and show signs of major decay and decline.
400 6th Ave
Site: 12
Reason(s) for Tree Removal: Assessment following sudden limb failure. Recent targeted pruning for hazard abatement left canopy sparse and exposed to potential wind failures. Even with a corrected lean the trees weight is directed toward the roadway. The remaining asymmetrical canopy in a species know for potential failures has an increased risk to public. Location is replantable.
