feel like we need to move on it whether it's movement towards resolution or movement up further to, you know, to director's hearing or whatever. because that's been kind of the frustration from whether it's a building owner with violations or whether it's a tenant who complained and then our housing division issued a violation. is that they didn't get the sense that there is movement. so sometimes there is not just the time, but as long as they feel it's moving, then, it's less of a mystery or stress about it. >> two things that have happened in that front over the last few months. dan has instructed that we assign one inspector in full time and code

enforcements cleaning up the abatement language for a while and maybe in a position to close the case. but it brought us the sign -- we want to spend full time doing that and over the last few months where the abatement was issued and the case could have been closed but we weren't aware because it wasn't brought to our attention. the other thing that has happened is our staff has been increased in code enforcement. the number of guidance dealing with complaints in the third floor have gone from 1-2. what's happening now is cases that are getting a second order have come to us quicker. we get a staff received for healing. over the next few months when this report continues, you are going to see cases going from first to second quicker, going to hearings quicker and issued

quicker and having the $52 fear where property owners when they realize they are going to pay an on going fee every month, they are going to resolve their cases quicker. cases go from start to finish at a quicker cycle. i think tenant direction has initiated a lot of these and you are going to see a shorter cycle from beginning to end. >> it kind of talks back to where the commissioner lead the data because i'm with you, now that we have this data, we might be able to see that movement that we are talking about. >> of course we have old cases. they are just like the cases you heard this morning. they are very difficult. you have one owner and you have a tenant, they don't have access, there is eviction and they might have to do this work, there is death in the family,

there is sickness and a lot of problems we have to deal with all the time. we use our direction is. a -- discretion. we get compliant but it takes time. when they have hardship involved we want to work with them. we don't just want to crucify them. >> we are going to have to be smarter in how we approach these nov's and start categorizing them as we understand them as those types of situations where you can't move them period. i think this is where this is going. the conversation is going to continue. thank you deputy director for bringing that and acting director for putting that together. we look forward to seeing that on a regular basis. >> we look forward to putting that in the data that you need. >> thank you. >> any public comment on items or the director's report 12 a
