the 20th of 2013 and the tenant cancelled the appointment and the last time was 1129, 13 and the tenant cancelled once again. we've been working with that mr. wong for 10 years as the plumber and he's been trying to fix the situation to have two bath tubes together and we have to open up the wall and replace the piping. we need to gain access to the tenants place to open the wall to get even though piping done >> i have a question of clarification who you meant by the tenant the tenant underneath the tube.
12:01 am
>> the tenant with the tube. >> commissioner walker. >> what do you stimulate the time period. >> i can't stimulate until i open the wall. >> the worst-case scenario. >> a day. >> we'll be in and out in one die. >> okay. thanks. >> thank you. >> any public comment? >> i'm the tenant that has the bath tube stuffed up tube. >> your name. >> ilene. they have not made any appointments with me. i don't know what they're talking about. anyway.
12:02 am
that's all i have it is stuffed up the little plug that removes doesn't remove its stopped the water is stuck. you have to take that off and the handles don't work. anyway, the first plumber he brought charges $3,000 and he offered to do it for half the price and he refused. that was 5 months ago that he brought 5 plumbers and none have done the job. i've been waiting 5 months since november 2013 for that to be cleaned up and fixed. and he still hadn't done it.
12:03 am
this business about 19 i know he goes into everyone's apartment he has keys. i have a letter saying i don't have to give him a key and there's no law that says he has to have a key. i'm lessons there he only has to call me up and make an appointment we're there all the emit. i'm handicapped i can't work. >> so they say this plumber asking is going to do the job i give them my number he only has to make an appointment. mr. wong changes his number so i can't leaf him a question that's
12:04 am
why it's been 5 months he changed his phone number so you can't call him. >> commissioner walker. so you're saying i didn't have an appointment that you cancelled did you have an appointment with that plumber >> no. he said he had 5 appointments >> or something like that. not with me >> okay. >> not with me. that's the first time i've seen him >> today every call him. >> no. >> thank you. >> thank you. any public comment? questions by the commissioners commissioner walker >> i just think that ultimately we are interested in having the work done. i think it sounds like there's
12:05 am
different scenarios and the issue someone assumed there was going to be a continuous i feel the evidence establishes there are code violations and the notice of violation and the subsequent action is appropriate. i feel like it's been long-range this process that the tenant has had to live in those conditions so i would ask - i would move that we uphold the order of abatement and that we give them it's been discussed by the preliminaryer it only takes a day we give them a week to do this work and hold the abatement in awe bins for a week allowing them time to do it and assess
12:06 am
fees. before we entertain that may i ask could we have the landlord and tenant agree they can do the repairs within the timeframe of one week >> i thought you that's what rosemary said, yes. >> i just a question for the department. duo do we know if the plumbing permit has been applied for >> i was asking my staff i don't know if that's the case i suspect it's not been perhaps the property owner can attest it that. >> on the same day that's
12:07 am
normal. >> i would think that p&g could take care of the inspections. >> i think if there's an agreed timeframe it would be pulled a day before they go in that's normal and a twenty-four hours notice. >> yeah.. >> so moved. >> second. >> i'm a little bit i'm just obviously i echo commissioner walker's points here. i believe there was good faith by the owner to have the hearing continued. i'm trying to find out what's the overall value of the permit if he is granted that continuous >> are we speaking the statement? >> yes. >> i'd be happy to look at the costs with respect to that.
12:08 am
and see what we can do but he's accrued it beyond the violation notice the notice was in november even if it was a thirty days notification so we're way beyond that so the accrues beyond that. so from that standpoint he has accrued that amount of time. i'd be more than happy to look at it in the context he asking for the abstinence he's not gone or golden the work done so i'll look at that >> if i can finish. there's also the issue conflicting stories of whether or not he was trying to get the job done and wasn't. so in the e kwaks he was given
12:09 am
no consideration and the pier officer didn't know those are issues we need to look at. this would have been resolved if people were communicating directly. i'm not trying to point fingers but we are part of this as well because we didn't do our job with the hearing officer >> i was telling you that went to a hearing at least 60 days it wasn't immediate because we'll have exposure with this property owner in the past. >> i want to talk about what's in front of of us now. >> understand, i understand you want to have the assessment
12:10 am
costs waved. >> in this particular case. >> there's another motion on the floor though. >> there is a motion on the floor i understand i want to make a second motion but i think this is a case we could consider removing the costs as commissioner lee said to agree on a dead certain date to fix this and hopefully not have this situation again. i don't know if there's a motion >> there's a motion on the floor you can't make a motion before the other one is dealt with. >> i'd like the commissioners to hear my motion and they can vote it up and down in order. >> you can amend hers but not
12:11 am
make a motion on top of hers. >> and i think we all understand we can anticipate after this motion there will be a second motion i'm not sure about the motion to the question. >> i was wondering if i could jump in for the sake of communications i was going to propose if commissioner walker would accept a friendly amendment to her original motion before we jump into the acceptance which is not to assess the total costs but to modify the assessment of cost i want feedback on that from the staff if it's acceptable. >> okay. a couple of things. there have been plumbers out there that have looked at this
12:12 am
project two or three prior to this gentleman coming. so i feel like there has been adequate access and time to do this work. whether or not whatever those two say about this particular plumber coming out. it's been a long time that this person has had hocking to live with those conditions so i think that allowing time to complete this work with an end date is more than generous. i will for the same thing of moving forward something entertain a reduction but i will not amend my motion to delete the assessment completely. >> rosemary is there a way for
12:13 am
the clock to start ticking to reduce the fees or approach it differently? the commission sitting as the abatement of board of appeals you're sitting in the shoes of the hearing officer i can ask that be reduced it is how to direct. i can definitely like i said, we haven't calculated it but we were at $2,000 if we have a ballpark we can come up with something you have in mind >> i would be willing to amend it by half. and then allow for a week to get the permit, do the work and have the inspection
12:14 am
>> i will second that modified motion. >> okay. >> there is a motion to uphold the order of abatement hold it in awe bins for one week and to apply the assessment of costs at half the amount. so i'll do a role call on that motion. commissioner clinch. sxhaern. commissioner melgar. commissioner lee. commissioner mccray. (laughter) commissioner walker. okay 9 motion carries unanimously. >> item f general public comment it there general public comment
