Can common recreational spaces in apartment buildings (like gyms and roof decks) stay open?
For apartment dwellers, the Order’s shelter-in-place requirements for the “household or living unit” means their own apartment unit, not the building or complex as a whole. Indoor common recreational spaces shared with others in the apartment building or complex, like apartment gyms must be closed like any other public recreational space that contains high-touch equipment or encourages gathering. Outdoor common recreational spaces, like roof decks, dog relief areas, and shared yards may open subject to the following conditions:
- Shared equipment or furniture such as barbecue grills, tables, or chairs must be off-limits, with signage and with physical barriers as appropriate;
- Everybody using the space must wear a face covering;
- Everybody using the space must strictly comply with social distancing requirements including staying at least 6 feet away from other people;
- No gatherings of any size (outside of a household) are permitted;
Signage must be posted reminding people of the social distancing and face covering requirements.

Yes, given the recent modification to the San Francisco Health Order on May 4th allowing all real estate transactions and people to move residences, real estate staging may resume operations when no occupants are present at the home.
