Project Description
New SFFD Station 49 (Ambulance Deployment Facility Project)
The new 58,451-square-foot facility, located at 2241 Jerrold Avenue in the Bayview, stands four stories tall and replaces the previous Emergency Medical Services headquarters, which was located in San Francisco Fire Department’s logistics warehouse at 1415 Evans Avenue. The new headquarters has state-of-the-art technologies designed to meet the specialized needs of Emergency Medical Services staff and will allow first responders to better prepare their ambulances for deployment when responding to calls for emergencies and health crises.
Fire Station No. 16
This seismic improvement for Fire Station No. 16 (originally built in 1938 and reconstructed in 1956) is part of the voter-approved Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response (ESER 2010) bond work to renovate or replace selected fire stations.
Fire Station No. 5
The Fire Station No. 5 seismic replacement project was funded by the Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response (ESER) Bond Program, a voter-backed initiative to strenghten neighborhood fire stations and other first response facilities.
Office of the Chief Medical Examiner
What is the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner?
The Medical Examiner coordinates the investigation and certification of deaths in San Francisco. Medical examiners investigate and sign death certificates for all manners of deaths (homicide, suicide, accident) and deaths of persons who may be unidentified. Services provided by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner are essential and critical for the community.
2016 Public Health and Safety Bond
In June 2016, San Francisco voters approved the $350 million Public Health and Safety bond (Prop A) with 79 percent voting in favor of the measure.
Funding from the bond will improve community medical and mental health services, emergency safety and medical response, and vital neighborhood fire stations and homeless service sites. The bond will fund capital improvements to City facilities to meet critical health and safety needs in San Francisco.
Updates and reports on the bond program and projects will be posted on
Justice Facilities Improvement Program
The Justice Facilities Improvement Program (JFIP) defines a strategic approach to replace the Hall of Justice, located at 850 Bryant Street. Built in 1958, the site is bounded by 7th Street on the west, Harrison Street/Interstate 80 on the north, and Harriet Street on the east. Since its original construction, there have been two enhancements: a two-story addition above the Coroner’s office and a rooftop gymnasium serving County Jails One and Two.
Hall of Justice Replacement Jail Project
On December 15, 2015, the Board of Supervisors rejected the proposed 384-bed RDF and verbally directed the Department of Real Estate to begin negotiating the acquisition of parcels on the proposed site.
