File a Government Claim
Lost food, damaged appliances, or other costs from an outage? You can seek compensation from the City — but first you must file a Government Claim against the City and County of San Francisco (and TIDA / SFPUC). You have 6 months from each outage to file (Cal. Gov. Code § 911.2).
Download Fillable Claim Form (PDF)How to file:
- Fill the form (type in the boxes, or print and write).
- Print it, then sign and date by hand.
- Mail or hand-deliver — SF does not accept emailed or faxed claims.
- Send certified mail, return receipt and keep a copy.
Where to file:
Controller's Office, Claims Division
1390 Market St., 7th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94102
