here. >> hello steve from central station relating quiet the last couple of weeks in the central district a couple of things at 546 geary about 220 in the morning after closing time they have extended hours an assault outside i mean out in front looking at the narrative it was a fast alteration regarding someone talking to somebody's girl friend it was smashed over a persons head an ambulance was called i was looking to see based on the narrative it was not something that security jumped in it was a suddenly act
12:01 pm
of violence i was happy after assisting with the investigation i have no complaints there important next on the list is notice of violation monroe a 473 broadway this was with our morning life on saturdays and sunday on broadway there are two clubs that open the night club in the morning time this was when the officers responder at 902 in the morning on january 5th the officers saw a violation of gun control with noise going outside and cars double parked in the traffic lane the officers respond as well as security there was a noise complaint at atmosphere 447 broadway on
12:02 pm
january 25th the atmosphere right now is not real active but on for special events so there was a noise complaint at 11:45 p.m. and next one a meeting with the people from the very well he will as well as the hotel across the alley we've been working a there's been improvements and we kind of drift back the general manager kanthd us at general station having to - i met with her as well as ore director of security and when i wanted to hear from their point of view what the issues were and we talked about the i can go down through there are basically 6 smoking area on the sidewalk and alley way large cluster of 0
12:03 pm
people the noise goes up so the recommendation to see if they can have the smokers move it out to stoelg street so the noise dissipates and not affect the hotel another observation that the hotel made the entrance to the club a large cluster of people and that have's caused the group to get loud so abstinence of the sidewalk so the guests will not be in an area and whatever security outside was checking applications rather than checking the lines so we asked them to check the lines as well too much vehicular traffic in the alley so the traffic can go through there we talked about
12:04 pm
trying to courage people at the end of the night to go onto stockton street so the cabs you can pick up the person and go quicker out of the area and there was inadequate lighting on cam ton place this makes it harder for the quality of life area and the recommendation was to increase the lighting so i contacted karen flood of the union square business improvement district to see if we can improve the lighting in that area and the last one was the alleyways as well as being blocked with cardboard boxes and trash we want to clean up that area so we're talking about when i brought this to the attention of the manager some of
12:05 pm
those things he's doing i said look it might be a hit-or-miss so he's going to work on that we spoke about maybe the hometown putting an awning that might cut down on the annoying noise up into the hotel rooms the hotel windows have sound proof but interests lineal other incidents there were two thefts at the ruby sky purse and cell and then another theft on monroe a $500 jacket any questions or comments. >> commissioners commissioner lee. >> yeah. on vessel i guess our talking about the lady that's the new manager at the hotel. >> she's been there are inform years now. >> minimum at least over the last year. >> so i know when i was as

12:08 pm
i think the applicant sent a request for continuance. >> it wasn't a specific timeframe but it's important to make that clear in the motion whether you move to dpo do exactly what we asked asked for or not i'm sure you're aware of there's a timeframe issue here so if it comes down from the applicant he's asking for a specific timeframe i mean we can honor that but i have to figure out what that means. >> so i move to continue the permit based on the applicants request. >> the applicant requested for the first meeting in march. >> march 3 there is a motion and a second no public comment. >> on that motion same house, same call? >> oh, wait i can't do that yet

12:10 pm
of things i'll tell you about their issue is the tax licensed on all our permits 2 will sigh you'll see in our packet the permit is not valid without a current tax license in this issue the situation the tax office had a couple of problems first of all the applicant doesn't pay any license foes for 2012 and 2013 those were delineate they went to the tax office but they didn't add the extend hours they've paid a huge bill in 2014 but our permit was not on there that was not the fault of applicant that'll they've paid on their extend hours in january, i wanted to
12:11 pm
get that out of the way for the blame so having said that i want to bring up a critique and great, thank you. >> do you want to come on up. >> you want to speak on the one to our right that one. >> i own the restaurant. >> at 346 o farrell street and i'm here to apply for a permit formal more extended until 5 clock last meal. >> why to 5 you have it to 3 right now. >> we have - okay go going back in a furious we recently basically trying to extend it
12:12 pm
for the reason when we started this extension of the business we were somewhat - we were mislead we had a loud place we were scheduled to the customers that were drunk like 1 o'clock they were coming in we catered it in a manner that was not sufficient to be honest with you it took a while to realize when i got myself into i took 3 steps back this year i've discontinued the music that is called the loud music distancing and this and that that's continued about 6 weeks now i took that discussion because i'm trying to cater to the
12:13 pm
audience that comes if the xyz clubs but i was doing something wrong i was catering to the customer worship not spending anything at my restaurant i was getting a bad reputation it took me quite some years to years i executed the line at 12 we have a cue if somebody times to come into our place we serve only food they will pay and get seated otherwise you're not going to get into my restaurant we have two security guards it help us wonderful now we've build a cue and people are very nice in san francisco i've had come across zero can't say 99 of
12:14 pm
the club has changed very nice people they come drunk and in a cue i've seen them go back to the corner and wait in the cue that's definitely a good choice because i want to carry out to someone that is at least stand goobl they need to come back in a half hour and if that half an hour 45 miles per hour a their sobered up now they can have a meal if a person is intoxicated they need help i want to be that facility that gives him something that was not necessarily we're a food place and going to serve food and if there's a place called for microscopic we don't do that no
12:15 pm
longer we strictly serves food if someone needs help that's also part of my job once our in my store i take that serious so we have calmed the music one hundred and 45 people i'm telling my examiners look if you guys want to come to my restaurant you're going to get your order taken and if someone want to make froubl in my place that's not happening no free in my place we've having had zero cultural of trouble in my place to the cultural as changed along with me and if you guys permit it that will be nice and if, if you would i would feel very, very happy. >> we have a few more questions commissioner joseph.
12:16 pm
>> so just staff this application this is his current application 2015. >> that's an amendment he always has the previous application i didn't put the whole thing. >> okay. i guess i have to ask you this is the one that was submitted in 2012. >> yeah. >> i get it in 2012 under item none 10 it says describes our plan to control the crowds on the sidewalk of streets he says there's no lines we're a restaurant we don't endorse the noise a that's 2, 3, 42012 and now i am assuming you enforce no smoking on your line; is that correct. >> i request endorse no smoking we're endorsing 20 feet of our
12:17 pm
area we're 20. >> i don't know last time i received from the city is 20 so we do enforcement. >> can i sky a question you're a business owner and know what licenses you need to run our business how come you didn't pay tax. >> i've been very bad at reading the lawyer said please start reading so every time i went out to pay a fee i don't know until what kinds of things are listed into the business permit i've been only operating the business licenses and some taxes are paid i don't know first of all i'm not involved
12:18 pm
in the permit process so i have no way to know until the city contacted me i took an action and i'm so sorry if i if but moving forward i found out i take care of and in some being attendant to the city i had started my business in 1997 on third and jones. >> i need you to answer the question you didn't pay our fees because you didn't know. >> my correct language would be i wasn't aware of such fees that i had to pull the permits because i've been in business for the last 9 years i didn't have no one to tell me. >> when they sent you a renewal in the mail you don't read your mail.
12:19 pm
>> at this point, i think that ms. she had - and e lashed. >> he was built in 2010 and 2011 and he paid and then 2012 2013 he was billed and display pay any of the licenses and can be and paid those are licenses the extended licenses. >> i understood that he was receiving a renewal in the mail like all the people like we are for all our licenses and paid nothing you didn't pay it because you didn't read our mail or you didn't read well enough is that it. >> i didn't know it was supposed to be effective on this form. >> they sent i something and i didn't understand it. >> so the two years you received it and paid for it how
12:20 pm
did you not do that the next two years. >> some point the officer i can't remember his name's an officer's came out to check if we have an avenue, however, permit i said we have permit and i - sins e.r. since i've not received what happened along the way that when those officers approached me for the hours the job part so i said okay. so i came to see ms. cammy i'm trying to remember. >> okay. i think we understand that the stipend hours permit you're here for doesn't show up on your original billow you went to cammy we understand that but other builds for the tax collector you didn't pay we're trying to understand how well,
12:21 pm
you run your business whether there are an annual fees to pay to the city you haven't. >> in addition when you got our extended hours permit to 3:00 o'clock you were given a permit and paid a fee and had that permit correct and when the officers came to ask you to see your permit did i refuse to show them the permit? >> no, i didn't. >> you didn't so the officer that submitted this to us didn't he will tell the truth. >> in my point of view. >> not our point of view you did it or didn't you refused to show him. >> i have - >> when the city official asked for your permit and i've not said that mime answer is i'm going to assist you because i'm
12:22 pm
going to get into the process of understanding why we're here - okay eject go if you were to go back a year back there was a person of the badge come twice and part of the files i made those myself once upon a time, there was an officer's with a badge said i is to check our employees i kind of doubted the guy i kind of doubted the guy if you can show me your badge and he took it back and put it into his pocket over here so i said okay. if i want to have a seat i'm busy right now right now right now i left the counter and estimated outside. >> i'm sorry to truth of the matter you but my question simply was did the refuse to
12:23 pm
show the officer your permit. >> my answer is i did not say no. >> i didn't say no, but did you say yes and show him our permit. >> i was going to walk him he didn't want to walk. >> he thought asked to be seated and when i came back he was gone. >> he's talking about last year. >> i'm talking about recently. >> he's trying to get us over here. >> i have one more question and let you go you have security at our door and you have another security inside. >> one at the door and one is watching the lines so it didn't people don't break the barricades. >> so they're both outside you
12:24 pm
have no one inside i have a report from the police. >> the line is inside the restaurant we're watching the line outside but inside the restaurant. >> i'm sorry, i stand corrected so we have cad reports there were saultsdz inside the restaurant do you center any internal incident reports about those assaults inside our restaurant with the police involved. >> i hadn't come across one that the police discussed with me, i'm aware 6. >> any other commissioners i have a question. >> yes. >> so 2010 2011 i paid the taxes and 2012 you didn't and 2013 what happened. >> i called the business in his

12:27 pm
well. >> i'm the manager of the business good evening to you alleyway you'll a couple of points i want to make i would like to start with the things he said about the noise and assaults and the refusals paying the fee by the way i joined the business 3 months ago there were pending charges we made by the way i made those payments myself i came to see cammy and i was obviously advised her i should be going to you know people who are consumed with that like the station in the tenderloin went there and dropped off the copies of the payment and at the in front desk
12:28 pm
a requested i see officer flores a off that day i dropped the copies and said can you please a pass this message wife paid the fee and everything and here is the proof of the receipts having said that, i came back and because the business is on quite late i'm not there all the time sometime i work in the daytime and some days and night but every weekend on saturday and friday i try to have someone there we're food providers not a club we are sort of you know facility when you are hunger in late nights and don't see many admin places to go and get food we provide that facility there were in business 2 this is san
