2:30 am
run state the certificate i don't know. i don't want to restate it we have our - i think the parties have resolved their dividends we ask you to look at that agreement consistent that the policies the city has of reverseably the unit we need to do something to prepare we are - we put it in our hands to do the right thing and effect wait the agreement i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> we'll probably have some never a dull moment i'll be interested in hearing from all parties particularly with the tenant issue.
2:31 am
>> what do you mean all parties tenant. >> yeah. tenants yeah. >> is there a tenants representative here? >> good morning. i'm jeff i represent the gentleman in the civil litigation between him and the landlord i agree with everything mr. zach said we're withdrawing our objections to the issuance of co and not opposing it and look forward to over turning the rest indication. >> bans our stipulation i'm not opposing. >> okay. >> commissioner melgar. >> a clarification so there's two issues that are ending i
2:32 am
think this is never went to planning? i still feel differently about that but the other thing this through whatever process is a legal dwelling unit it does fall under rent control are it does not that's a crucial >> through the chair well, i think that is issue here is whether this has been approved as a legal unit to be lived in i think our director has initially issued the cf oshlgs and seeing there is no approval four a residential unit i feel like the if i look at the declaration of the previous
2:33 am
owner since it fell after 19 not under rent control. >> and we don't know the exact date it was a gardening shaky owned it and sold it without permits no permits attached the issue for me this was done without going through the proper channels we don't have the jurisdiction the right, the responsibility to grant approval of something at dbi it is a mr. haney issue so i think regardless of what the agreement has been made i appreciate that total to see the tenant and the landlord have agreed to go forward we can't bypass needing the planning approval for this project so i feel like it didn't matter there of the an agreement the
2:34 am
fact is there you go no legal approval. >> commissioner mar is it okay mr. sacking. >> honorable commissioner, i building ear very eustatement city attorney made clear they've determined the vest rights and the authority to include my client utilized on which 3 r report and utilized on the legit of the property you did have express authority for a laugh dwelling unit this is consistent with the building code in section one 09 point one no building structure shall be used
2:35 am
without a certificate of occupancy otherwise used for use we're not only looking at want cf c the general authority of that building inspection to approve a use nicole we have electrical permit other building permits that apply to this unit we have the city whether wrong or right i'm not going to give an opinion representing to a buyer of a property that is a lawful united and that buyer relying on that and renting out the property if we could go back 10 years and say we've made a mistake we've got 10 years of illegal rents this landlord should give back i hope this was clear we do have a board authority basically to conclude
2:36 am
our legal agreement is correct rapture to the property owners right to literally rely on recommendations made by the city thank you. >> thank you commissioner mar. >> yeah. so for obvious reaps this was a very tough case for us i think that's why it keeps coming back actually, i'm glad that the owners reached on agreement with the tenant but part of that also bothers me i think we have jurisdiction and we can make a decision because the city messed up you know and whenever the city messes up the owners pay doesn't matter if their nonprofit owners that everybody
2:37 am
loves or greedy landlords everybody heights in the city messes up you pay i have a problem with that being a landlord i also have a problem with - because if this was an illegal unit and a it is not necessary has claims to the rent the tenants shouldn't be there there's lots of cases that come before us this is a garage you can rent it for cars not people boom no people allowed so the tenant is on the street so to me i think this is good that the tenant has recourse but again looking at the landlord with the recourse but you pay the way i rent it you can't rent it to me i feel like if we make a mistake and by the we i'm saying the big we not just you and i sometimes
2:38 am
we have to pay i know it didn't happen very often by sometimes the city should pay and i feel for the tax question and the rent question for all the questions but i feel like whoops we said it was 3 unit it should stay 3 units you know my main concern i'm glad the inspector dealt with that we send an inspector back is that place liveable? should that place be habitual a for human beings not a garage i appreciate inspector reardon's update that is important that place is a legal unit it is habitable probably more
2:39 am
habitable than a lot of other places that you know come before us so i feel very awkward saying that the landlord has to pay no matter what and send back someone to planning because maybe i'm boys sending someone to planning is not good sorry sending someone back to planning is a punishment i'm not willing to do that right now you know if it was our mistake. >> okay. so trying to coordinate everything before i comment commissioner mar i think you brave enough to say stuff we'll not say here i know you
2:40 am
feel passionate i feel i was writing down the facts mr. reardon did his go back outstanding we can't argue aren't landlord i looked at the listing in 2006 or whenever it was sold and it was litigations as a 3 unit building so i'm pretty convinced that is a sequence of bad situation with that said i was not expecting the tenants issue to be resolved this is a huge factor in this case i'm a little bit upset this was not done before you brought it here the panelling donors box but i'm trying to understand that negotiations can be tough and not easy to get to a quick period with that i'd like to
2:41 am
hear from the rest of the commissioners commissioner melgar. >> firstly my daughter and other daughters were class migrants that's not going to effect anything i think about this i think that the planning department has jurisdiction over the zoning and we have jurisdiction overbuilding so you know, i really glad that steve went out and looked the unit no license safety issues that unit has been on for 10 years occupied as a rental unit we need more of in the city so i know i feel like you know it's been there it's been providing a
2:42 am
service no license safety issues we're deciding on whether we uphold a revocation of something that is on for 10 years based on this complicated set of circumstances i actually you know what we're heard last time i feel like we could we have jurisdiction and the planning department has an issue we can send an inspectors and issue a violation for that i think that is a very complicated set of circumstances i think in the end in the balance we get legal dwelling unit out of that and it is not necessary that is going to get to stay and no license safety issues so - >> commissioner walker. >> so i have a couple of questions
2:43 am
there you are yes you were indicating about the 3 r report inspired can telling me the date. >> did the 3 r report valid at the time of - directing your attention of its validity my point the validity period is one year it's inspired now. >> the issue in doing things this way i look at the data that we have at dbi at property all the time and often
2:44 am
i feel like obviously this should have gone through the proper channels of planning as it was being rented out to residential unit in our department was appropriate in re resending the cfo that was pit on that based on the erroneous information we're in this situation i'm not going to support over turning the directors decision on that i think that this is appropriate to have planning weigh in when something that bringing this to our attention i'll support holding any action in abeyance awhile there's a permit at planning to add a unit illegal
2:45 am
to this property but you know that's just me. >> no duly noted trust me well, your talking common sense that is not like we all disagree with each other i any mother comments by commissioners so we'll have closing comments from which party do you want - >> any rebuttals comments. >> no, i don't of anything more. >> thank you. i'll be very briefly andrew saks for the appellant recent board of supervisors legislation represented the planning code legislation first introduced in the summer of 2013 and infected in december of 2013 and makes that clear claiming where's this
2:46 am
is placing section 180 h if it didn't provide exclusive evidence the unit is illegal it is 3r50u78d to be a legal non-common issue this our board of supervisors speaking in the last year and a half about the presumptions in case like this this should give you comfort this is a lawful unit based on the record and if, in fact the burden should not be on my client but the person oppose this we ask i grant the appeal and run state it i greatly appreciate the time you've given us i look forward to our determination. >> any more - any public comment. >> no public comment on this
