S.F. to require that property buyers, renters be provided with flood risk info

Potential renters and buyers in San Francisco will now have access to the latest information about the city’s low-lying areas prone to flooding before deciding to move into a property, following a vote by the city’s Board of Supervisors on Feb. 13.

Supervisors voted unanimously to require homeowners or landlords of city properties to disclose to buyers or tenants whether the property is within a flood risk zone.
