i gave to you on february 21st basically says this is the fellow i want to do the job. he's the licenseed guy and his mom's in a comma and i need more time. i went through with this with several of the tenants. i found out that two things happened and an awning fell over on an upper deck and the tenants were out there cooking and things they weren't supposed to be doing. i think this is a realistic timeframe and have a permit again, you have a copy that goes

through 2014 >> thank you very much for allowing me to address you. >> thank you. any public comment? >> i have a question of staff. does this stairs and desk services the second means of egress? >> can be used but they would be unsafe to do so. so are you saying their life safety issue and if you are then what are we - there's a time limit >> the city attorney can talk to you and this is a second means of egress if you address

that from a standpoint of giving the property owner then you have to address the life safety issue of the san francisco building code. although staffs recommendation is for o no more time be given >> if the board finds it a life safety issue but work has to be commenced in thirty days and finished quickly. >> thank you. >> there a motion? >> can i ask a clarifying question. so the department is asking for the subsidy of cost attached to that?

>> sometimes they have it in this case there's a lot of activity that may not catch up to the hearing but assessment of costs is a part of the motion i would make here i'll make the motion to uphold the staffs remedies and hold in awe baungs so long as it's in compliance and it's completed within 90 days and up - costs will be xhurd and however we phrase that. >> i second it. >> and the assessment of costs will be attached - not attached but charged. >> the motion is to uphold the

order of abatement and hold it in awe abundance for 90 days. there's a motion >> assuming the work will be done in '90 days. >> so we - and completes within 90 days and assess costs. >> the order is to state that the work must begin within thirty days and completed in '90 days and uphold the assessment of costs? correct >> someone will call the

question? >> okay. on the motion we'll do a role call vote (calling names) the motion carries unanimously. case item number 2 case 6775481 ministry the appellant action requested by appellant the appellant has requested that to 6 additional months work cited. >> members of the board chief

housing inspector this was a case that was continued from the appeal board. we have 29 tourists and 49 residential. in the staff report that you received on page 3 you have a data entry there we did a reinspection and you have the information so far as the housing inspectors observations and i want to update that for you. we went out there yesterday and what we're seeing is there's substantial progress being made but none of the existing residents have been move forward into any of the new rooms but they have a plan - a spreadsheet

they'll speak about in a few moments. this has been a year as of late saturday that the notice of violation was issued and we have approximately instead of 2 hundred and fourteen we have 80 violations that have been done and it's still not itself case. that's the certain to us. and while we're very happy you can see from the photos what we're going to get as a result is completely different from the past we still have a certain if we don't get closure.

i want to get some additional information from the appellant and here's your questions in rebuttal i'll tell you what i feel at that time. thank you >> thank you. >> morning richard intrastate ton rapid transit the owner. everyday is a new day and a great deal of progress has been made since the last hearing and indeed 3 weeks ago when the staff inspected it there's more progress. i provided all of you i hope you have seen a copy of this little demo in terms of bullet points

we have 15 of the tenants who are saying now they want to move as soon as the room is ready for them the prim focus is on them. and in the second category there's another ten to 15 rooms that will be done in the next couple of weeks which will be for those tenants when they decide to move. and on the 3rd page is the current front yard the tenants understandably they want to live on a certain floor. they choose that. so they're going to wait and they're happy to move out temporary and move back into

mr. larry wong the contractor is here he's the most knowledgeable. my strong recommendation is you continue this to you're next hearing and then we will have all the tenants who are ready to move will be moved. of course, the whole scope of work changed when the owners elected to remodel the entire building and that's one of the reasons this is taking so long. but norms we're not just fixing doors it's new doors and such. so i'd like to introduce mr. larry wong our general

contractor and he can speak inform the specifics and we're available for any questions >> consultant to the owner. i'm happy to report the progress as i proposed last month that we do the project in two months and two months and two months. as of last monday we'll have 15 ready and the first phase will be done ahead schedule. and the second phase it will be ahead of my proposed schedule. okay >> hi i'm larry wong. i'm here to present a statute of our project. since our last hearing we were able to pretty much meet our

goals we have inspected and signed off on 24 rooms. we really had 40 rooms ready for the inspection for the electrical but the inspector wanted to inspect her way down the believe so she inspected and signed off 10 of the rooms. we - because he had the 24 rooms ready for plumbing and electrical without those two signed off because of the overlap of scheduling we today, this monday evening we have two, that will be signed off.

the building inspection is to come in and sign off that are plumbing ready and electrical ready. >> we're here dealing with the notice of violation and i understand can you give him a timeline to finish the violation that we're dealing with here. >> of the violations i believe - >> i can address some of that. commissioners i'm bob i'm working with the owner of the

property. in the notice of violation there were 11 items in the public areas all those have been completed. there were 60 rooms of violation of which the violation 39 of the 60 rooms are vacate and 10 rooms are occupied in this notice of violation. we're talking about only the hospital in of the violation. there are 22 items that are led paints and guest rooms doors that close three of those are done and 9 are outstanding. we're movie ahead we're requesting at least a month maybe more we can move through

with the permits we've got 4 active building permits. we're moving very, very well, in this thing and we need a little bit more time in order to get those things completed under the permit >> how much time? >> at least a month. if we get all the clearance approximately thirty days >> okay. >> is this a plan to move some of the tenants temporarily into the finished room if they're done next monday?

>> of the people scheduled to come and sign off on the items i would say realistic win the next month all the sign offices should be needed and two of the rooms will be ready on friday. then it a becomes a matter of timing. we're thinking within the next thirty days or until you're next meeting all the tenants that point to move should be able to move. everyday it's a new day. as to completion of all and everything being resolved i'm not sure they're all going to be resolved but the whole vacant r

pressuring it's on the occupied rooms that are of primary focus >> thank you and i appreciate the information from the appellants but there's a couple of concerns. i didn't quite hear what the plan is so far as those individuals that don't want to move into another room and how is this going to be accomplished within the next thirty, 60 days. the other thing that is of certain overall is that once - as this work is being done and we have as i said we've got 29 tourists rooms and 49 residential rooms it's going to

be important quite frankly you get this kind of remodeling going on with the conversion of the property now that doesn't mean we don't want rooms repaired but one of the things is to get commitment from the appellant that you'll allow us to come in so when they advertise this is done we're not dealing with a chronic situation of music roaming or the tourist we do so sometimes as an aftermath that the building has somewhat been intrid so if i can

get some assistance from they might need a little bit more than thirty dies i'd be willing to go along with that. we have professional operator and not the same kind of situations >> can you ask a question regarding residential vs. tourist. >> their required to keep daily logs and receipts and we take a look at the annual reports and we'll continue to ask them to do

so. we can look at those logs at the any up to this point in time but if we can get some assistance them encourage them to be cognizant of what the future holds for that property so when we're frishd we're not operating the property they have a much more professional operation so the building doesn't slide back >> the answer is, yes again. i think we are coming to where we would request this roll over two months or two meetings. i will be calling her in the afternoon to work with whoever she wants to appoint to it out reach this

is going to be predominantly residential. it's close to 6 street and even those are going to be dormitory like rooms but we'll certainly work with her. the owners don't want to have any more trouble with the property and they want to make sure this doesn't come before you in a long, long time >> it is a question of offering the rooms to the tenants rather than wait until all the rooms are done like you get the final inspection can you move 5, 10 tenants next week? that i when the rooms.

>> then the tenants - the existing tenants who wt to move yes. but i can't give you a day or week or month we think in the next month or so >> i'm asking for a commitment as the sign offices come in there's a rolling process to get the tenants moved. >> yes. >> we have 24 rooms occupied and 22 of the 24 are going to be occupied. there are no violations in those rooms so that's the plan is to move them as quickly as possible. >> any public commit? and i'm

mccain i'm with the tenderloin collaborative and we've been doing walk there is no. we went in on april 26th and two more times. we been seeing substantial progress and good faith efforts to repair the rooms and we appreciate the access to the building. however, tenants have concerns about the building and we have concerns about the process going forward >> i'm a organizing coordinator with the housing clinic. as karen said we really appreciate that the owner and operator was allowing us to helping us to walk through the

building. we had opportunities to talk with the tenants. it's uncertain how the moving of the tenants is going. every time we had the walk through we had the operator and yesterday we have a convenient what's the strategy and the plan? >> do you have a concrete plan? it looks like the improvement is all over the place. but we did raise concerns about the bathroom in each floors that hasn't been addressed any of them. and you asked them do you want to take care of the bathrooms because there are people who are

disabled. but today they provided the moving plan but i didn't see any concrete days on how they're going to help the tenants and giving them only two days the move. you have to give them mentally - but a couple of of the tenants we talked to didn't know they were moving. so but we did see good progress and it wouldn't have happened if we weren't in the this every week because they knew we were coming. we have been in this building

before and after the last hearing and when we were told you know, i have to allow the anti reach folks to get in we saw definitely an intense amount of work going on. thank you >> thank you any other public comment? >> first of all, i appreciate the s r l coming out. - >> excuse me. not public comments? >> any other public comment? any questions from the commissioners? >> not a question but i think i would like to see say, i appreciate the work that's been done. we see a lot of problem buildings and oftentimes we are

locked in battles around trying to make sure that taeptsz are living in conditions that are habitual. the work that's been done is great we appreciate that. i would tend to want to give the 60 days to cure the violations. the violations were there. i don't think there's an argument about that so consistent with what's been doing we can consider, you know, supporting the order of abatement and holding it in awe bans hopefully, we, see a building we can be proud of and i just want to add that i appreciate that the owners working with the community groups to allow them

in. i know there needs to be a lot of education with the tenants as well it's a hard process to understand that. they can help with the education so they're not just hearing about the offer of the building folks but to work out what's needed for the move just to help to educate the tenants >> just to reiterate those organizations are funded with grants from our department to work with you. so i'd like to make that as part of the motion that we are offering our community groups to you to help with the location, temporary location and

rehabiting of the space and they can report back to us after the 60 days if will be resolved >> i don't think that should be part of the motion to support the appeal. i mean to upholding the abatement i think it should be a separate item >> you can modify the order of the abatement. you don't have any authority over this preceding but so i'm understanding you say you want to modify the order of the abatement? i would have to look intothat. whether or not the order can be modified in that way

>> i'm willing to separate it from the order and maybe you be, advantage of our community groups to help you. >> as a direct active we'll be happy to do that. >> that was a good hearing and i think a lot of commissioners itself this was a good model to represent when the building owner is doing the right thing. that's it i think you should be recognized for that. everybody concurs in the next few months. i hear you have the log
