check and the fire department plan check and our housing inspection services as well there are currently no open complaints? >> on the property we expect the work from the permit is upheld to be down to planning code that is the notification for the lead paint take care of the asbestos we've heard that there the bay area air quality and we ask the work for the neighbors and the tenants keep the place clean do your project properly and be respectful other than that i'm available for questions if there are any >> can you explain to me inspector duffy what are the hours of operation that a contractor can work. >> yeah. so the allowable
10:16 am
construction hours are liberal there 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 7 days a week that's time to do work we don't encourage people to use that time do. >> with the amount of minutes available. >> correct but it is pretty the weekend work is apparently for homeowners to do their own work it is more liberal than other areas. >> if approved the permit holders can work 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. >> if they wish. >> okay. thank you mr. duffy who inspects for the lead abatements. >> the housing inspection services have a lead abatement program if we have a concern this is not following the
10:17 am
housing inspections the lead abatement goes to the site for improper measures i think we spoken about this in apartment building that respects renovated a notification and a containment process if we got a complaint we don't go out unless we're notified and the building inspector will take into consideration as well but it is usually

10:19 am
underneath the unit under construction i want to voice my support for the project they've been excellent in communication up to this stand point. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you any other public comment. seeing none, we'll have rebuttal starting with the appellant. >> are you allowing him to use your time, sir welcome again. >> so we have a valid permit on the very first page the floor plans talks about contacting the neighbors this is not a regular maintenance case we do have extensive demolition but partition walls the lead
10:20 am
abatement that be containment and noise also will travel through the structure that will reach all the way to the occupant on the ground floor also, they the project will be about a year in their own writing of the permit applicant to i want to stress the impacts on the occupant of the same building they don't live there i understand this is a home business occupation the two tenants are elderly and disabled so that's why i think yes. the permit has to be exhausted but take into consideration the downstairs neighbors their
10:21 am
disabilities their age. >> and their business. >> that's all i have to say i'm going to be short. >> they're running a business out of a residential home. >> a home occupation work. >> okay. >> okay. >> so a translation business out of their home. >> that's what was explained to me. >> okay. thank you. >> did they have extra time if you like to add you have a little bit of time left. >> glen eagle and thank you for hearing the case before the p.m. i'm a freelance translator
10:22 am
i work out of my home how much time. >> there's a clock in front of you. >> 55 okay so i live at 595 noe street and under the continued care of my doctor on several prescriptions medications and as i said a translate i work at home and any certain amount of peace and quiet awhile mime translating the services this is how i make my living so the peace and quiet of my home is important for that and had an operation in november and still recovering from that and that will be a setback and in my opinion to my health with all the construction that is my time thank you very much.
10:23 am
>> thank you very much. >> okay rebuttal from the permit holders. >> so hello, again so the first one i want to point out is that we're sensitive and deeply sad to hear about the issues of our tenants and mentions we're willing to work with them for reasonable accommodations on the e-mails they showed from us things that haven't been testified we'll be can offer like flirting machines i'll help them with that and the inspection housing report there was not assess to the unit that is being done the construction is being worked out done to the unit it is not valid
10:24 am
we found our testing we provided in our brief around the testing we've done and the work we've been communicating closely with the air quality management district to make sure we're doing everything up to code and ton to do so as we move forward yeah, that's pretty much it. >> thank you nothing further from the department no commissioners, the matter is submitted. >> i'll start so hunter's view we hear a lot of the cases and in my opinion i feel that the permit holders are trying to work with the tenants and appear to be very sincere a lot of times that those cases come before this particular board we get involved unfortunately through the permit
10:25 am
process of construction evictions and we hear all the time that the contractor are going from sunup to sundown their legitimate and instead of a project that can take months this takes 9 months it is refreshing to hear landlords public school taking on tenants and being worked out responsible landlords i did i'm sorry that the tenants have some health issues and will be enconvenience but in my opinion they are going 0 above and beyond and this board would have heard this case in a different light i'm more than that strongly leaning an denying the appeal for you know that's where i'm coming from.
10:26 am
>> any thoughts i'm not quite in agreement whether they've done everything they could have they're done he everything to respond legally to protect their permit it would have been perhaps a little bit more effective if they've talked about how they're going to contain how they'll do the taping of doorways and openings to provide some level of confidence this particular impact will be handled no way they'll be able to handle the noise the construction will not happen by the way, i would correct the permit holder this is the notable not based on error
10:27 am
in terms of the principles but the end result i'm with you because unfortunately it is more of a civil issue than a permit issue and both parties are rights that includes the permit holder. >> i agree that is nice to see people that are somewhat responsible in their opinion. >> motion. >> like to make a motion. >> no. >> i'm sorry what is the basis. >> a nobel hearing. >> my motion to deny the appeal the permit was properly issued. >> two in one night that's a record. >> so the motion from the president to deny the appeal and uphold the appeal it was properly issued
