The strong unions in San Francisco have made sure that the City is always
about 30-40 years behind the rest of the country regarding building codes.
Vested interest. It is what keeps us from having affordable health plans
etc. Interestingly the rest of the cities in the S. F. Bay Area have broken
semi-free of the union dominance and their codes are quite modern, at worst
some of them are typically one update (four year cycle) behind.
