three minutes. >> thank you. good morning, commissioners. i just wanted to mention one thing that is that we have had a lot of layoffs at dbi, throughout the city because of the economic situation. one thing i noticed and i was impressed by, really, was that nearly having retired a few weeks back, the director is working on the first floor hands-on. i think it is really great to see her down there, and i think everybody likes to see the director is not just sitting up on the sixth floor. they really want to be hands on on the first floor and dealing with the customers and staff. thank you. commissioner murphy: 90. next speaker please. >> commissioners, first of all,

on the fifth floor, it is really working very well. it is a good system. but the one little thing that gives us trouble oftentimes, from an applicant's point of view is it was usually the wait time to pay, and you get the thing finally issued. it takes a lot of work. it is a good hour to an hour- and-a-half. we are sitting there on the fifth floor twiddling our thumbs, waiting to get someone to take our application. we are happy to pay the fee, but it takes an hour and a half, and it is a constant kind of irritation, so i just bring that to your attention to areas other than that, the fifth floor is wonderful. we can go from station to station a real quickly and get the information we need, even if we are filing for a permit that day or not. thank you very much. commissioner murphy: next speaker please.

>> good morning, commissioners. i'm here to go over a complaint i have filed with the department of building inspection, back on april 19. the unit under construction just below my unit has been working without the proper permits. i have filed a complaint, and just today, i have heard that the inspector from my district is going out to speak to the owner. i have a few photos i would like to show you because the work is causing severe damage to my unit, and i have been pleading for assistance from department building inspection. i do not know if it is due to budget cuts and work furlough days that nothing has been

addressed for three months, by -- anyhow, here is a copy of my complaint, and i have some before and after pictures of what it looks like, and you can see that permits are not exactly true. right here, you can see this is what the original structure look like on each wall of our building. this was the original entrance under construction of the unit at 1824 mean streak. this is one that they moved to the exterior wall, which started only major damage to my unit. i have given a packet to ann, too, for some of the commissioners. here's what the structure looks like now.

here is more photos of what the unit is looking like now, which is quite a bit of an additional square footage. the damage is done to my unit are severe cracks in my granite counter top, severe cracks all throughout my unit. that is over my stove. walls, ceilings. on march 10, my tenants came home to a major home -- hump in my hardwood floor in the hallway that enters the kitchen. he is the level that shows how it has affected the floor. the contract came in and tried to fix it, and it is not actually what it should be. he has told me that he believes

that at home was there prior, which there never was -- that a hump was there prior. due to the debris clogging our storm drain, there has been combustion up -- and how an -- yho -- anyhow. i was just hoping that the commission might be able to get thething achieved so that damages can stop to my unit, possibly a red flag the property. thank you. >> we will talk to stop and maybe get it on the agenda for the meeting. next speaker please. >> good morning, commissioners.

i want to bless you and all your family. thank you again for the request that i have been given justice. i feel i am treated like a citizen, although many people in my community know me for my dedication to defend justice, not only at our city and county of san francisco that i love, but also that level when when i see is now societies decaying because of the idea that money is more important than people. after my public comment of last month on june 2010, i have been

told that my case has no jurisdiction, so i would appreciate it very much if you could give me a written answer in detail of what you think i have no jurisdiction. i do want to tell you that i have been following the process for many years, and especially with the department of building inspection. i started at the department of building inspection in 2002, and there were alterations of what was a defective demolition -- a de facto demolition.

wanted to convert the units into luxury units, destroying some of the units. ou
