8 hours to argue about noise coming from a bar on Mission street of all places? Come on now. Crazy that a random condo owner can fuck with a small business like this.
Barnali Mishra, one of the two condo owners protesting the license — who does not presently occupy her unit — said that, despite the restaurant’s compliance with the city’s ordinance, it is in violation of its conditional license to serve beer and wine. After the restaurant opened, one of Mishra’s tenants, who moved in prior to Bissap Baobab’s opening, requested a 15 percent rent reduction because of “hardship” from the noise.
Is this one of the “mom and pop” landlords we’re supposed to venerate?
