3:09 pm
1267 rose island that has been penalized 9 times over from the vacancy fee that was denied in 2012 because a lack of insurance. i am appealing this imposition 9 times over penalty because i feel that it is gross and excessive. i feel that the - while the demand for insurance on the building a valid the insurance companies refused to insure the building because it was vacant so that place is a catch-22 situation which took us months to resolve. we were able to secure an
3:10 pm
acquaintance so they penaltyized us for that with an excessive fee. i think it sdrimgdz against people who don't have the fund i'm currently employment and my sister is unemployed and on disability. one of the heads stated himself this was a tail of two cities stating that some people in some parts of the town can afford this and - >> thank you are there any
3:11 pm
other members of the public who wish to speak on this item? come on up >> good afternoon i live in san francisco for 61 years. i'd like to thank the board of supervisors for holding this special hearing. in my opinion many property owners in san francisco don't have adequate knowledge on how to protest what happens at d b i. a case example a recent grand jury. i'd like to encourage all persons in san francisco especially ones that are not familiar with d b i please tell don't feel intimidated because the d b i has made far too many mistakes in the past and i
3:12 pm
encourage if you don't understand or don't agree with the d b i feel free to pursue the matter on the state of level >> any more comments? seeing none. before we precede there's a question from supervisor wiener >> thank you a question about one of the items at 1:30 beulah street in supervisor breeds district. this item was here for in law units correct >> two in the lower area basin area and they have tenants in them. >> yes, sir. they do.
3:13 pm

3:17 pm
there's in my district on this list there are scores of in law units where you have whole families living in a single in law unit. we know that realty is there are people living there and the reeled in my district there are people who can't afford to pay their mortuary. it's not permitted. i think the city needs to figure out how we can understand how to create flexibility in our districts so we can maintain housing that's affordable for the property owners and other folks who couldn't pay their mortuaries. it's not always about making extra money. so i know it's not just this
3:18 pm
district this property we're looking at taking a fee from its the other properties as well. i'm kind of hard-pressed to figure out which ones in my district are having the problems here. we have to have this item approved by the end of this year? how does that work >> supervisor avalos to the president i would have the staff from the department of building inspection answer the question. >> well, this was in 2008 i was the inspector. wife been working with ms. roberts and it's difficult for her to legalize those. we've been in contact with here as far as remedying the
3:19 pm
situation. she's been to the appeal board and they concurred. we're more than willing to get the issues resolved >> there's that and there's like a score of buildings in, you know, single-family homes in my district that are on here that actually have an in law in them where, you know, people are getting a fee and - i'm wondering do we have to have this today or come back in a month and perhaps taking off fees. >> we can take the item off the calendar for today. we actually want to legallize it but we're more than happy to meet with ms. robert and walk
3:20 pm
her through the process. i agree there's plenty of units in the city >> right and i don't think it's the matter of making the building like it was before we'd be casting out thousands of people in san francisco which makes no sense. but i think as a city i know my colleagues have been working on this issue president chiu and my office as well are figuring out how to have some neglect so we're not setting up people to get cast out of their homes. so we're helping them to maintain their property >> this is has an an ongoing
3:21 pm
issue and it would be great to see a solution in san francisco. >> i want to add to d b i i've been in a group working on this there's a meeting in a week and a half and they will be raising an issue you can come too. what many of us agree is perhaps not the best way to handle the reality. supervisor campos >> thank you mr. president, and d b i staff and to my colleagues are that i think it make sense for us to hold-off on voting on the entire item until we have more information regarding all properties that a fall within the category. >> maybe i should ask are there
3:22 pm
other units or line items on this lengthy list that are involved in those situations? >> without having the case in front of me i can't comment. we are more and more willing to pull the item and have the remaining items sfoeth. and we'll look at the items at o a more convenient time >> that's sort of the concern. but thank you for that clarification >> i get a lot of calls from people who have issues with d b i and i understand d b i's situation those are all issues we care about but those are on the list because they come with
3:23 pm
great frequency to my 0 office. i'm wondering if we can continue this item not getting it done today and continue back in september >> can you identify yourself. >> i'm with the code enforcement d b i. if i could say we're happy to go through each and every item and work with our staff and if there's any property that is remotely involved with the conversation we're having but we'd appreciate if you'd approve the other items number. and someone in public comment said there was a review of the properties recently and one of the items they said we were a
3:24 pm
little bit having too many fees but if we were to hold-off on all items it would he'd the inspection to the report. i'd like to have the list today approved and we'll remove southern items and we'll be happy to go through those with you >> i'd remove those after the fact? we're just approving overall and the items won't be impacted? >> when you take the vote there are be a day or two we'll adjust any addresses there are confusion about so when the final list is agreed upon only
3:25 pm
the remaining items remaining after we clarify which would include removing the allowable units we'll have a better list. but you wouldn't impede the process so we'll have the properties you're not concerned about on the ballot in september >> we will horrify i'd be open to removing those items shortly and a - >> we'd appreciate that. >> is there a reason why if we get this done in the week of september that's not enough time to get this going your deadline about november. >> i believe the cut off-line is in august.
3:26 pm
i will send our report over to the recorders office around mid-august and we - we can go back and remove any illegal issues >> are you able to identify the in law units. >> yes. >> one thing i might suggest as part of the resolution that we adopt language that says that the board of supervisors says they'll remove the fees to the in law units we don't know particularly but that maybe a way to resolve that and maybe someone will make a motion. supervisor yee >> actually, i was going to make the same suggestion we
3:27 pm
amend the motion inform delete from the list any in law unlts that the department would identify in the next few days so i concur with you. >> so supervisor yee made a motion and i'd like to ask the city attorney - if i could ask you what's the property language to capture the intent we're not making a policy decision but on this particular list we want to remove those units that are in-laws. >> john. if it's okay with you i'd like to discuss with the department maybe during the break while the department is meeting with various property owners and could came back and advise whether that's a viable language and when the department comes
3:28 pm
back >> let's continue. >> i want to let you know there's a few properties on this list i'd like to say let's remove. >> thank you supervisor. >> just a point i'm not sure unless you're able to identify the properties that are excluded from those lists you could move forward to that and that's a question to the city attorney's office. there are property we need to move forward maybe we identify those. i'm trying to figure out what's doable >> let's say that the city attorney caucus and the public when you are done we'll take up those items later than in this meeting.
3:29 pm
okay with that why don't we go to our second 3:00 p.m. order madam clerk call items 54 to 61 >> a special order at 3:00 p.m. for persons who are looking at the planning project located at the 4016 california street is exempt under the california quality act and the planning commissions approval of a conditional use authorization at the 3216 address on all 16 that this property is requires a conditional use authorization. the motions associated awe affirming the clerk to provide finding are part of this special
