>> thank you very much supervisors it's unusual i get to do two landmarks it's happy once again the supervisors seem to be looking at the landmark acronym i don't have a large amount of information but the preservation staff finds the building is eligible for landmarking for its architecture and suburb and one example of a 20th century architect building it has historical integrity and the 3 storefronts the city has been working on a storefront relating to the seismic landmark for the 1911 is k3r50ir8 unusual on december 2007 the commission

passed the resolution 42 recommending that the board designate it as a landmark prior to that they received a letter from the hayes valley and one of the gold's beggars gardener the department received one e-mail no opposition to the landmark designation and the representative of the building owner has asked not to be made a landmark finally it is a contentious city if you google the address the folks with subject to an ellis act and this was, however whether or not this building becomes a landmark has noberger on this case that concludes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you, colleagues any questions on this item? all right. let's go to public comment on number 4

and we want to thank the planning commission and the historic preservation commission and their staff as well. of course, i'm here to urge you to preserve this beautiful we're very concerned as we see buildings become available in hayes valley and other places on the corner like this one they end up being sold and concocted down and condos being built 4 floors high so $16 million o condo its a big decision to come to the city and ask them to help us preserve this building and as theology said we're facing an ellis act violation this does do that perhaps save the building for the generations to come it is a beautiful building it is a historical to several community

$15 million in damages i've called for sprishlgz in having a comprehensive framework that exists the gaps in coverage and the most viable way to make a residential building safer for our san franciscans that live there over and over i've heard sprirnldz save lives is not only the residents employees and workings that maybe in a building of a fire but firefighters to come to save their lives there are costs to the sprishlgdz we'll talk about the costs and we want to figure out how to make residential sprirnldz a realistic option for property owners we know that one life lost in a fire it not acceptable we need to take action we know that what possibly save lives

and homes and businesses a sprishlg system is the first line of defense and their significantly less lick to die in a fire if you're building is having sprinklers it takes less time than the firefighters arrive in time nationally more than 4 thousand people lost their lives in foyers with 45 percent of those delegates caused by fire with over 45 percent of the deaths in fires almost 16 thousand men and women and children are ventured the risk of life is not only for injuries our firefighters also fire alarms and smoke detector are essential there are hearings

on this issues held by supervisor campos but we know they can't put out fires between 4989 and 2002 more than 17 occupancy units were destroyed by fires and causing gavin newsom to sponsor legislation for residential hotels in the common areas we know the devastation that an earthquake can cause in the city but even more so it is the fire that post of the earthquake that causes more damage we need to discuss this before another tragedy strikes anything we can do i look forward to the presentation and discussion today, we have 3 of our departments that are here today to speak the san francisco fire department and deputy mark

gonzales and others and the department of building inspection here to present director tom hugh and rosemary the chief of housing inspector and william the legislation affairs person let's tart /* /* start with the fire department. >> good afternoon supervisor cohen supervisor wiener and supervisor jane kim. >> get my - so my presentation

today will be covering what sprinklers do my next slide theology. >> my next slide is a video of a test fire of a living room sofa this may trigger reactions in people i'll wait for you to leave a full video of 3 minutes long. >> 55 life of a deadly fire has begun this scenario occurs in millions of homes every year around the world

we have a flame just coming up the back of a sofa there's a cigarette that was left there for a few hours or a little kid placing with a lighter. >> at this stage the small flame is relatively harmless the main source ever fuel is the sofa revising a complex concoction of flammable materials to have a darlings chemical reaction flames as they radiate deep down more and more foul is xhoupd as this deadly cycle receipts itself it grows with speed. >> we have two detectors in the

hall again, it is right up the wall you can see heavier smoke against the hot gas that is by the ceiling. >> experiment have led scientists to alarming discover fires are changing one hundred and 7 sessions into the burn this for is much hotter than years ago it initiate more he'll and burns more traditionally like wool and timber. >> we see the radiation itself is starting to effect other objects in the room there are smoking they're giving off additional fuel that is going up into the hot layers going to burn

in the 1950s the afternoon fire took 15 minutes today you can get to a staten island 2 thousand degrees. >> in a little over one hundred and 50 sessions it test fire growing grew to a raging inferno it destroyed the apartment in less than 3 minutes. >> okay. so as you can see it is dramatic we're looking at an entire room endpofld within 3 minutes versus in the 15 minutes so here we we're looking at a slide of smoke alarms they're great we reduce the risk of death of a fire by 3 percent

you, however, if you add sprirnldz reduce a risk by 80 percent so it's a two-fold advantage to have sprirnldz in your residence sprinklers reduce the property loss and water damage because they've activate sooner as you can see in the video about one hundred and 7 sessions a voice-over saying the smoke alarms kwaftsdz and then shortly thereafter you would have had the sprinklers activate they activate at one hundred and 50 dresser so water on the fire sooner than the fire department getting there okay. >> and then this slide shows the history of sprishlgz as you

can tell with in communication we're getting to where today sprinklers are required in all buildings where in 2002 when we had the sro ordinance that was just cover an existing 50 with common area coverage you'll see in a couple of slides that increased coverage in the common areas reduced the greater alarm fires we were going to just to give you a quick all of and sprinklers work as you can see in the middle imagine a red glass ball for a standard responses it is 4 millimeters thick in a sprishlg head it is 3 millimeters it takes less time to break once that bulk breaks the flood that are holding up

the sprinkler he'd the water will disperse out of the head so in the graphic of the 4 images blow is shows how the fire and flame and smoke activate through the to do head how it climbs up the wall. >> a quick question ou were talking about the air bubble the water - the glass tube that melts during the from the heat of fire how is it triggered. >> it breaks abused the liquid inside boils. >> heats up and boils what's that liquid inside. >> i'm not sure but each one of them in the typical light hazard head is red the hazard if you put them in a skylight their green so the color of the bulk

tells me the temperature the bulk will break at. >> it is green because it needs license of a fire invent. >> no more the left to right of the skylight have acting on the bulk and you don't want that bulk do break from the sun. >> okay. thank you. >> so here's the slow down that shows you how we've responded to the single room occupancy fires from the 1994 to 99 those services? >> come from our bureaucracy of investigations statistics noticed it was capturing the fires in the sro's occupancy we need to comply with fema and

their national fir reporting system that started in 2001 you see how our statistics and tracking has increased i want you to look at the burglary u blue numbers as you can see in 49983 greater alarms and two last year of 2014 we've had zero so it is a significant decrease in the great alarms we go to by covering the volunteering common here's >> why is there such a spike for first alarm fires and hotels. >> i believe it was captured in the 94 through 99 was - i'm

sorry so we have two ways of reporting firs through the bureau of fires investigations they're looking at only foyers other than the instant command those statistics are from the fir bureaucracy of investigation suspicious foyers and the spike you've seen just through the rest of years the 2001 through 2014 it just shows that now we're following the national fire incident report system and their tracking it. >> thank you. >> closer. >> so again, you can see the we've had a lot of fires

although they're on the decrease this is just showing the number of fires for the last 5 years or 6 years asks me from 2010 to 2015 and this is a quick chart showing the fire deaths and injuries last year, we had 5 fire deaths for the first quarter of 2015 we'll have 4 and deaths it is hard to quantify why people die in fires i mean this is not necessarily because the building was sprinkled or notsprrnd e.r. anhihad fire alarms or not this is the

afternoon cost of buildings over the 6 year span in general they have a lower cost of fire loss due to the quickness of the fires being water being put on the fires and then just kind of finally i want to say we're in an initial discussion with all stakeholders on the possible changes to the codes as supervisor jane kim has recorded and supervisor campos. >> thank you thank you. >> just to follow up on some of the data points you've put forward thank you for explaining i think superstitiously i've heard in a number of folks that sprishlgz cause more damage from

smoke or people are worried about unnecessarily it retaining the furniture or what is in the home and the systems you see in place you feel that they're really carefully calibrated their on-line going off at the time of a fire. >> absolutely you'll see more damage in high rises because of superstitiously. >> i know thatdbi will go through did ordinance i been or want to reiterate and make sure i understood your data points what is clear the could have of rebuilding or rehabilitating once it is in place you feel the data there's a co-relation you're not insure if there's a

co-relation whether or not sprinklers are in place with fire deaths not necessarily a co-relation in san francisco. >> the first national reporting system it is very hard to quantify with our data set we have currently to track that specifically. >> i see what is sro hotel when we rooifrt we feel like this had an impact with saving lives or preventing viewers. >> i think surely the greater alarm statistics show so that.

>> thank you. >> dbi. >> hi tom. >> good morning, everyone. supervisor cohen and supervisor wiener and supervisor kim my name is tom director of the department of building inspection is our honor to come in front of you to make a presentation that is more information i know because the fire building code and housing code is so complex i heard you all confused with different what is requirement that's why today, we're going to give you an overview hopefully make it easier to understand it takes 18 years to understand our code but next thing it will be easier for you to understand

you hear from fire department you know what is the requirement generally speaking in our building you know department of building inspection our mission is protect life and also our property in san francisco more than 20 thousand buildings majority are old you know we the planning department anything over 50 year-olds are historical we consider those are old buildings how to protect life is important but how to protect we have a different level you heard about we can have supervisor alarm system to go on the public and how to
