Mahmood wants to make 111 Taylor, the birthplace of the transgender resistance movement in the Tenderloin, a historical landmark. The building is the site of the infamous 1966 Compton\u2019s Cafeteria riot and is now home to a halfway house run by for-profit prison operator GEO Group<\/a>. Last year, the site was under scrutiny<\/a> after the death of Melvin Bulauan<\/a>, a man living there who was in crisis, as Mission Local first reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The intersection was already landmarked, but the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade will now be protected from changes without city approval.<\/p>\n

Dog bites have been on the rise, particularly in the Tenderloin<\/a>, as we reported in March, and the city\u2019s vicious dog court has been on hiatus for a year. In response, District 2 Supervisor Stephen Sherill called for the hiring of a hearing officer to bring the process back online.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On that note, we\u2019ve also learned that the dog lieutenant who had taken a special interest in canine law enforcement in the Tenderloin has moved on, so station Captain Matt Sullivan is seeking his replacement.<\/p>\n
