nd partnerships are the fire department and the tenants themselves can attest to how phonetic those are to the people coming from the fire department so those are informational and necessary to include in hearing when it up >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi good afternoon i'm also with the mission of the collaborative and resident of strict 10 here in san francisco so we have seen not only through my work but personally i've seen friends and coworkers last year a coworker of ours was adopted three children and a single mom we see the fire was not caused by itself code violation it can happen it can be a hot plate or

cigarette i want to suppressing stress it is important to fire preservation and get landlords involved as well not only the tenants we started a working group together with dbi and the sfr san francisco fire department and the agencies here 90 in san francisco to address even though fires in sro's it good to include out collaboratives that support tenants in other builds as well and accountable also the landlord education and hold them accountable are they doing their pat as well you know oftentimes we see they're very focused on the profit and not as much on the well-being of the tenants thank you

thank you very much>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> bobby san francisco tenant unions we've haven't heard in the hearing i'm concerned about tenant safety we're alarmed about the affairs this year spiking and the context in which it happened but we have not heard from the rent board or the affordability issues for the tenants the property owners can expense those improvements but we've seen through capital and other operating expenses the tenants canes bat the problem we're in a affordability crisis at this time it would be go to hear from the rent board and other agrees secondly i've looked at the enforcement provision and for example, specifically section 109 of the for code which needs

to be nailed down in terms of of the par active of passing it through a notice of violation as opposed to not a violation there are things on enforcement that can be tightened up third issue and this is a hot bottom issue i'll be happy to you know discuss it with the mayor and mr. conway of airbnb but the short-term rentals obviously neighbors and tenants are very concerned about people using airbnb and other so-called shire platforms but they find egregious with an opportunity to get out which a ridiculous he is probation of a problem we're trying to address that way. >> thank you very much.

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi good afternoon, board of supervisors members i'm jan the director of the san francisco apartment association i wanted to make a couple of comments having sat through and listening to the testimony from the department i really building we should set up a city task force to look the fire safety and bring in the departments and as one of the sro representatives mentioned the sro's the rental housing owners first two things to differentiate the housing stock is different from long term housing the clientele is differently a transient population in long term residential buildings a way to train do fire safety checks within builds do like for drills in multi unit buildings that help the long term tenants

and none of the tenants are not going to be not relocated if there is construction to find another place to live is emotionally disturbing and there will be passed there is no to the tenants we need to look at this very careful and weigh life safety and comfortable and enjoyment of the tenants against the sprirm that will help thank you very much >> thank you>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors burk with the coalition of better housing a couple of things obviously our industry the rental property owners want to do everything to

protect our tenants including fire safety to help maintain a safe and habitable building we're concerned, however there's been a problem within buildings where enforcement of current fire issues like batteries being taken out of smoke alarms, and as was suggested earlier people piling up materials and clustering has been a real problem for us to enforce people not to make a circumstance that could create fires so that's one thing we can do better on top of any alternatives that may come up let's do everything to enforce what is necessary right now and we have a lot of incidents like that and an example of the cost i guess it's

the biggest concern for property owners who would implement any kind of sprinkler system anecdotal i ask other than about people that do sprinkler work recently a gentleman that did a 14 unit building and sprishlg into the unit themselves that cost was that hundred and $50,000 14 units $25,000 a unit with the past through to tenants it's a $12,500 to the tenant to pay for they're half it is substantial we'll only ask for a task force we address a number of issues including the costs but that we be cognizant of the major costs - >> thank you very much any other speakers that point to

speak on this item. >> steve chief complum inspector i reminder me of something people talked about saving lives and damages my father owned a business on stockton street there was a fire in a sro above the business there's no sprirnldz that fire jumped from one sro to other sro to another sro all on top the fire station is literally 6 bloekz blocks away from that location they got driver's license and by the time they got there the blaze jumped so many times from a 3 to 5 alarm they turned around and said if the first year of the ceiling didn't holed up the debris on the water that was coming down the whole block what would have collapsed the

fire department said if you guys had sprirnldz in the building in the sro alone the whole block would have had businesses opened in a matter of weeks not months they lost 3 sro's that was a big cost to repay everyone just food for thought. >> thank you very much supervisor kim. >> i want to appreciate everybody being on board and working with our office in preparing for this business thank you ivy there is to legislation being proposed that's why we haven't reached out the rent board we wanted to get the information there's a lot of confusion what was required and not required and what's making a difference and not this hearing was to get the

information and for the members of the public to digest this your office will pursue this information we'll work with supervisor cohen as well as the fire department and dbi i want to recognize as was mentioned we have not 50u79 or updated our code for the vast majority of codes since 1969 this is the time to reexamine the code for upgrades and a and this came up in the 1950s and 60s the fire a fire that we saw in that video would take 15 minutes and today under 3 this topic certainly deserved a conversation it is 86 percent of our housing stock there are a

number of complications wee bit we'll did you whether the location and the cost to property owners what we can do to mitigate that costs and versus the how rent buildings did you ultimately the stories i think about are stories mentioned how for in a single unit can take out a whole block and $20,000 a unit didn't sound that much or, of course, our resident we have a fire in an sro hotel they didn't put in the sprinkler and none of the tenants were able to return to their units it was a rent control unit it was right across the street from a park we relocated them to 6th street to other units that had increased rent and the worse was when you

know in treasure island we had a family where a 6-year-old daughter lost her life was the parent were not sober enough to call the fire department but it is all a balance and will be a continued conversation i know that supervisor campos ask calling for a task force tomorrow with a report book in 6 months and we'll engage the sprinklers and we'll include the stakeholder and the property owners and the experts federal and state this is a wonderful conversation thank you for all the work and thank you to all the colleagues for hearing this as the land use committee. >> at this time public comment is closed is there a particular you want to foil it item

co-chair. >> happy to continue this to the call of the chair. >> okay motion by supervisor kim to the call of the chair and seconded by supervisor wiener. >> unanimously >> madam clerk, any other business before this committee? there's no further business. >> this committee is adjourned thank you, everyone nology for our first responders. there is a management that will better serve san francisco. public safety personnel better equip and the cutting edge of public safety is [inaudible] >> helly over wn and thank you for being here on this very
