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 point is the vacant rooms are less 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 part of that. i don't think realistically 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 want 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 into that. 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 loglytic idea i have a shout out to the director of inspectors please

explain those situations we would have more rooms here today. that's it i think based on what you've said and the access being allowed i'm pretty convinced you're going to be doing the right thing. i'm not interested in restricting you anymore so my position is to get the timeframe you need and to get the right rooms ready so the right amount of people can be moved. so i concur with with everything but to the restricting more i think you'll be able to do that. >> so the motion?

so uphold the order of & basements to hold it for 60 days and assess fees. it is essentially being - >> i'm sorry public comment? >> i'm sorry and you have is a motion and a second. we'll have a role call vote (calling names) the motion carries unanimously. to item education continued

appeals request for jurisdiction case 77623562 number one and two and 358 number one to 34. order of appellant action requested by appellant the appellant is requesting important time for work >> i'm representing richard thomas the owner. there are two appeals here relating to the same building. if i may i'd like to address one unit that's the one relating to appeal 6774. we filed papers yesterday. i apologize for not getting them sooner. the unit appears to be the

sticking point for complete. the department contends that it's a commercial issue there's no evidence to the record that the two were ever connected. this building was constructed in 19 hundred. we have photographs taken yesterday that might clarify the relationship between the two units pr there is uncontested areas that could one day be connecting the buildings. it would be typically of what happened in 19 hundred.

the departments position is that this unit was an accessory one time to the unit downstairs but the evidence is the separate unit was never connected in any means. we ask the board to receiver the order finding it was an accessory unit and an illegal unit. upon that took place i want to emphasis that the parties were on the one the brink of the - it recognize that the parties met at the project and i'll show one of the pages from the record of the department.

i'll show you a record from a year ago >> could you pause for one minute please. we're out of order - >> is it codified we go in a certainty order? the department is supposed to get the - >> i apologize i should have been stopped sooner.

>> thank you members the board chief housing inspector. are we going to be taking items one and 2 at the same time from section a? we could to save time >> so just briefly since this is a request for jurisdiction on assessment of costs so the question is whether or not you want to get into the merits of this case. let me tell you on the issue of this apartment the position is not the departments that was an accessory commercial use the property owner hired this structural engineer to research the fact there wasn't a previous building permit to legallize this unit.

so he then the property owner filed a permit and it's in your staff report. he doesn't follow-up on legalizing this permit for the purposes of a stand alone unit. it shows no record so his agent actually assisted him but the property owner aborted the process. we had a meeting with the property owner on may 23, 2012, to discuss the various open cases for the two properties. at the meeting was myself and senior inspector andy cars and district inspector and mr.

thomas and his agent at the time was an structural engineer. we talked about all the costs involved. as a good faith gesture i indicated to him at that time that the assessment of costs that was associated with that particular tracking number i believe it's 401 which had an amount of $2,100 we would set that aside because he was being assisted through all the other numerous violations. we didn't place that on the loins. but looking at all the various line items we didn't feel that

anything else could be taken off. so the issue of the illegal unit is not a issue of any merit because we signed off on a permit that he aborted and this is no permit issue there was any stand alone permit. even his agent did the research and this is what he proposed so that's not an issue. we decided to set aside all the other assessment of of costs we feel are valid. so i want you to understand that. so whether you take jurisdictions or not those are facts to be aware of. >> commissioner lee
