5:37 am
walls so she had to take down the walls. she needed 3 permits. half of the foundation is on the different lots it's our property therefore with our permission of authorization it's not on our property. here's the copy of the party wall agreement it clearly says that this agreement here wants the land so whoever gets the land it's this alternate.
5:38 am
the parking wall is to benefit both party. we're not getting two foundation walls upgraded and any future buyer of our property is wondering why we you couldn't up grade the property. it's not cause us problems in the future even though the engineers say this will not negatively impact our believe therefore we're not going to grant the permission for this work. please consider. >> please state your name for the record. janet son. >> we can hear from the permit

5:42 am
issues that was raised was related to our pursues 3 they straddle two property lines. >> well, we do have those types of properties in san francisco where they share party walls. sometimes, it requires two permits but the party wall that they're doing i think they're putting plywood on that site. this building should have been split. years ago when it was done they never physically split the building. it's very difficult project but
5:43 am
in answer to your question the building permit they have is okay. if their not going underneath the foundation on the other side which is a different lot. it's difficult - at any time hard from stopping people from doing work on the property that they own but it's better to split the foundations and make them separate at this .83 and that's what the permit people are trying to do. there are going to do it in small
