ways, and means committee that is housing crisis here in san francisco according the annual report there were 2 thousand plus notice of sequoias ending february 28, 2015, this is a 54 percent increase from over 5 years ago and despite the decline in ellis act eviction thank you to the advocates and, of course, the board of supervisors and the mayor's office for their support on this we have seen a number of no fault evictions increases by 84 percent over the same number of times it is likely more higher as many go unrecorded as evidence bits the citywide balance report that was passed in july san francisco is quote essentially running in place on affordable housing and what has become the most expensive housing in the u.s we've addressed 5 hundred plus in 2004
12:17 pm
and 2014 rental units were moved from protected status to a variety of no fault allowed by state law the data shows our anti eviction work is every bit as important to support the construction of new affordable housing according to the annual report the 5 reasons of evicts are one breach of lease two nuisance and owner move and eviction and ellis act and 5 illegal use whether the increased focus on the advocacy of our attendants groups and leader and community resident on ellis act eviction the other leading cause of breach and nuisance are increasing while the owner evicts have been on the incline we've been
12:18 pm
over-burdened with the evicts of immigrants our legislation does a number of things we put but stories and thank you to the tenant what they've perp been going through with the evicts and, of course, the fear and anxiety that comes along with it but many of us are experiencing which is a loss of diversity in our neighborhood of people that work in different folds and occupations and encompass what a healthy city like san francisco that legislation did this 5 i believe so i things one evicts nos are in multiply languages in chinese and chg and russian and stopping the evictions because
12:19 pm
of learned must provide prove the allegations and a reasonable time for repainting this bedroom wall or remove the laundry out of the windows or taking the bicycle out of the common hallway and housing not authorize for residential occupancy such dwelling units that are such as commercial unit spaces that were converted to legal units shouldn't be the whole reason for eviction we saw that last year with the tenants on market street who are also here today and finally this codifies the availability control allowable under state law into the rent ordinance this codifies the state law requires a attendants to temporarily relocate or the remediation work
12:20 pm
for the tenants are next tenant can move in at the rent of the departing tenant taken together this provides protection for the tenants and reduces the ability of owners to raise rent in certain case those power amendment will impact our vulnerable tenants and reduce the incentives to bring forgot cases to rerent for hire rents i know there is a discussion on some amendments today from my colleagues supervisor cohen and supervisor wiener on clarifying some of the launders around the amendments we'll put forward i have no further comments and open for discussion and. >> thank you, supervisor kim and also want to acknowledge
12:21 pm
many of the community members are here today thank you for bringing this item before us for us to consider i wanted to thank the individuals that reached out to my office last month to their their stories last hearing hearing he raised the let me residency occupies from the tenants are living in illegal units i've seen short-term rentals that are dashboard into 8 different units with the floor in unsafe condition and after the last hearing thank you for the opportunity i spoke to the city attorney's office will clarifying language so colleagues before we go into public comment i'd like to propose an amendment the clerk calculated to you i think you've
12:22 pm
had the opportunity to amend the language it adds a language to clarify nothing ♪ legislation prohibited a landlords ability to recovery positions under the 37 a-8 and 10 those are sections which provide for the elimination of uninhabitable illegal units and insures that tenants get a a relocation assistance this is necessary in order for us to prevent future confusion with seriously unsafe illegal units are discovered thank you very much i will leave that open and we'll go to how supervisor wiener next >> thank you very much madam chair and thank you to supervisor kim for bringing this forward when supervisor kim first announced that she was
12:23 pm
drafting this legislation i remember thinking that this is something that was long overdue for discussion because there are i think a relative small group of owners that have been barrier in an abusive way i think i mentioned the one egresses situation in any district and other district by a woman named monique that was engaging in 23r5u7b89d behavior to try to intimidate tenants we've heard the example of the very minor leased violations leaving a blanket in the hallway or leaving launder where it is not supposed to hang and so on and so forth and none wants a tenants to be evicted for any
12:24 pm
reason violations the got you violations anything we can do to prevent that from happening is a good thing in this housing crisis we don't want those kinds of evictions and at the same time, we want to make sure that for more serious violations that landlord can manage their buildings i expressed the way that the language was drafted around nuisance violations and similar violations damaging the unit, interfere with the comfort and safety and enjoyment of the landlord or other tenants i thought that language was drafted in. >> way to make that almost possible for a leonardo da vinci to take action when a tenant is committing a serious serious and
12:25 pm
perhaps nuisance that those types of violations from the landlord is not knowledge in the building many other tenants are impacted i indicated alternative language i have been in the interim middle east e meeting with board of directors i'm meeting with the tenant advocates and met with the department association and the office spaces and have alternative language i want to read i think gets to the heart of what we're trying to get at so what it will do is right now on page 10 line 5 where the proposed amendment states when a landlord connecticut commence to get possession we'll strike that auto r out and keep the counter
12:26 pm
language and add the following quote the activities are serious continuing or reoccurring in nature what that does inactivated making that impossible to ever vooefshlg evict on nuisance no matter how severe the nuisance has to be severe or continuing in nature or reoccurring in nature not just the one time thing not a anywhere violation but something that is much more significant and so this is an amendment i'll offer avenue public comment and thank the tenant groups and landlord groups to make sure that language gets at what we wanted it to get at two other amendments i'll be offering up to public comment excuse me. one has nothing to do
12:27 pm
with for this legislation effectively removes on owners ability to limit the number of sub tenants in that unit and essentially gives as i read it the tenants ability to bring as many sub tenants in as are permitted by the housing code the landlord have no ability to restrict that and override future lisa i think this gospel too far we have an exception already in the code that's been there for quite some time to bring in family members above with the lease requires i think that opposing that up for no ability to honor a lease of sub renting is too far i've heard talk about in addition to family members some
12:28 pm
people require a caretaker and needs a car taxi i take it sensitive it that so the amendment that i am offering will remove the language on page 8 line 14 to package 9 and on page 7 the photograph on line 20 after the exemption for allowing people to bring in family members will add an additional exception to read as follows: to a caregiver the folks meet the definition of the under state law that's a second amendment and finally, the availability control i agree that we need to address the
12:29 pm
situations where particularly effectively fraudulent owner move in evictions but it provides when a have a capital improvement eviction that of the unit is rebutted how 20 or 25 years later no matter how much time passed the existing rent applies if someone moves into the unit after 20 years and rents the unit out they have to apply the rent from 20 years ago under the ellis act you can rent it auto at market after 5 years this actually makes the ellis act a short the period not a bad incentive for the ellis act you have to ellis the entire
12:30 pm
building the amendment i'll proposing on page line package 5 line 10 it is the paragraph will state where a landlord has terminated the tenancy and substitution 1, 2, 3 or the next 5 years from termination the base represent will have to stay the same if i rent it out within 5 years then the base rent stays the same this aligns it to not more does go beyond the ellis act that creates an incentive to do ellis act evictions he have the language and those are the 3 amendments i'll bring up after public comment so thank you. >> all right. thank you very
12:31 pm
much supervisor kim why not go to public comment. >> i have a stack of cards here. >> thank you chair cowen he realizes not everybody or ever be has put in a card i'll call the first 10 names i'm sorry there's a huge stack of cards i'll call the first stack please line up on that side of the wall (calling names) roy, karen, david, kenneth richards and mindy. >> i realize are 2 minutes is
