Brownstone Shared Housing offers people 3.5 feet wide and 4 feet tall 'sleeping pods' for $500 to $900 per month to combat California’s housing crisis.
"We have opened an investigation to determine if there is a code violation. The complaint was referred to DBI by the City Planning Department. We won’t know what permits are potentially required until a site visit and evaluation is conducted," Department of Building Inspection communications director Patrick Hannan explained to FOX News Digital.
An update to the San Francisco Permit / Complaint Tracking System reported on Thursday that an inspection is scheduled for Monday between 10 and 10:30 a.m. In a statement to FOX News Digital, Brownstone Shared Housing co-founder James Stallworth called reports of the investigation"overly sensational."
"When a local news publication reached out to the City about the pods, asking if there were any potential code violations, the Buildings Department did the right thing and opened a case. Specifically, they are looking at whether installing the sleeping pods involved any unpermitted work on the building. Our pods are just furniture – we set them up similarly to IKEA furniture. I am not aware of any permits required to set up furniture.
