Petitepairings Catering Permit Revoked After Abandoning SF Site

Petitepairings, LLC, a catering operation that had been serving San Francisco customers, has permanently lost its operating permit after health officials discovered the business had abandoned its Bayview location over a year ago without proper notification. The San Francisco Department of Public Health made the determination to inactivate the catering permit during a routine inspection on November 10, 2025, at the facility located at 1566 Carroll Avenue. Inspector Sojeatta Khim arrived to find that facility manager Juliano Porciuncula confirmed the catering company had ceased operations sometime in 2024, though the exact closure date remains unknown.

Inspection Details

The November 10 inspection, conducted between 5:20 PM and 6:30 PM, revealed that Petitepairings, LLC had been operating under an active permit despite not conducting any food service activities for over 12 months. The discovery prompted immediate action from health officials, who determined that maintaining an active catering permit for a non-operational facility posed regulatory concerns. While no active food safety violations were documented during the inspection due to the facility's dormant status, the situation highlights a significant gap in permit oversight that could have implications for public health tracking and emergency response protocols in the Bayview district.

Previous Inspection History

Records show that health officials had attempted to monitor the facility's status as recently as October 1, 2025, when a follow-up inspection was conducted. During that visit, facility manager Juliano Porciuncula had already indicated uncertainty about the catering company's operational status, noting that the business had left the premises in 2024 but could not provide specific timing details. The October inspection had resulted in a passing grade despite the operational questions, suggesting that the full scope of the abandonment situation was not immediately clear to health officials at that time. The subsequent November inspection provided definitive confirmation that the business had indeed ceased operations entirely.

Regulatory Implications

The permit inactivation reflects the Department of Public Health's commitment to maintaining accurate records of active food service operations throughout San Francisco. Catering businesses are required to maintain proper notification protocols when ceasing operations to ensure that health officials can effectively track food safety compliance and respond to any potential public health concerns. The Bayview location, accessible via the T-Third Muni line, had been operating under the official permit name PETITEPAIRINGS, LLC, serving the San Francisco area's catering needs before the unexplained closure in 2024.

Impact on Local Food Service

The permanent permit inactivation effectively removes one catering option from San Francisco's food service landscape, though the actual impact on customers was minimal given the company's year-long absence from operations. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of proper business closure procedures and ongoing communication with health regulatory agencies.

The Department of Public Health continues to monitor all active food service permits to ensure compliance with city health regulations and proper operational status reporting.
