2 nominal $1 street-space or sidewalk permits are omitted from the timeline. The 2006 environmental review for the 275 10th Street supportive housing project says in its own setting chapter that the design was commissioned by John Cassaretto and the building occupied by the G & H Price Pump and Engine Company, and in the Section 106 review appended to it that the architect was E. A. Neumarkel and the owner the G. W. Price Pump and Engine Company. The initial study bound into the 2006 environmental review for the 275 10th Street supportive housing project reverses the dates its own historical resources chapter gives, putting 1350 Folsom Street and 275 10th Street at 1922 and 72 Dore Street at 1931.
