San Francisco says tiny sleeping ‘pods,’ which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code

• Sleeping “pods,” which have become popular with San Francisco’s tech workers, are not up to code.
• A San Francisco authority issued a violation for the pods on Tuesday, The SF Examiner reported.
• The $700-a-month pods are four-foot-high boxes made out of wood and steel.

Tiny sleeping “pods,” which have proved a hit with San Francisco’s tech community, are not up to code, city officials said.

The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection issued a notice violation for the pods, which contain beds, but no windows, on Tuesday, The San Francisco Examiner reported. The department said the pods, located in Mint Plaza, were illegally installed without a residential building permit.
