jurisdiction and took the permit program. the board has approved the project. they did so in 2017. this included fines and fees. the key ones are that the operators need to stop in safe, legal location, generally yellow zones or white zones, as well as driveways, provided that the operator has permission. new routes must complement muni, not compete with it. we also will provide data to see how it fits into the transportation system. and it provides assistance for persons with disability. chariot has applied and we

anticipate issuing a permit. it makes it a violation to operate without a permit. this would ensure compliance and allow us to bring in new operators under our permit scheme. i will be able for any questions, if needed. >> supervisor tang: thank you. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thank you, chair. i just want to say -- no questions. i want to make a few comments. our office worked come -- collaboratively to put together a partnership that i think that chariot, teamsters and city ran with. we're proud to say it's a model

project that can be in other parts of the united states. i know that chariot is part of the ford motor company. i know the permit program was designed to complement our public transportation system. i know they worked to ensure that that process would be one that would be about complementing. and so for district like mine that have been identified as transportation deserts, as it pertains to the last mile in particular, there can be difficulty and overcrowding and buses in the system. we sat down with chariot and talked about increasing services and we'll present that shortly. we just want to commend all the parties coming together.

this service in general is designed to get people out of their cars. it's not about a single-occupancy vehicle with one driver. it's encouraging people to carpool and utilize the service the last mile or get them to a final destination. so we're very supportive of this program and want to comment the -- commend the parties involved. >> supervisor tang: thank you. i would say that i'm glad that given that this service has come in response to demand by individuals who would like to do ride-share or carpooling, that we have a ring at -- regulatory

system in place. i wish we could do that for other things, but we're limited due to regulation. we don't have a lot of oversight or input over. with that said, i mean, i think it's fine that we have a regulatory framework. so look forward to seeing how this will play out in our communities. at this time, i know we have a couple of public comments. edward mason, tony dilario, kendra watkins and anemia rahimi. come on up. we'll open up public comment. >> edward mason, thank you. the permit is perfectly required, but they need to proceed cautiously. these circumstances have staged

around the corner idling. they operate in bus zones, block bike lanes, they operate in taxi zones and enforcement should not have to rely on neighborhood vigilance and percent fear especially. it's a replication of the commuter bus program. four years later, that program is experiencing violations that should not be occurring and the responsibility for monitoring it should not be the responsibility of the neighborhoods. i realize it's touted as being a carpool and van pool. i think what you are doing is taking away ridership from muni

and in the domaine. so proceed cautiously with this and take into consideration all the violations that have been absorbed in the neighborhood and the city. whether this will be a model for the future remains to be seen. until we come up with a robust system for muni, this is a program fraught with violations that will need to be corrected. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm tony dilorio, teamsters 665. i represent 200 drivers that work for chariot. teamsters and chariot have

worked together. we've built trust and have arrived to a great first contract for their employees. chariot is a good partner and that's rare these days. teamsters are supporting the enforcement piece when it comes to the permit. just like how they've worked in good faith when we organized the work force, they've demonstrated that same partnership with sfmta. thank you in advance for your support. >> good afternoon. i'm kendra whatkinwatkins. this is the first time i've spoken with board of supervisors. i spoke with the board of directors and i've been there at

least twice. i'm a commercial driver for chariot of the i've been there a year as of last week and i'm pleased to say i come from a nursing background and also alcohol and drug counsellor but i've never been happier when i worked for chariot. when i came here, i envied my fiancee's work. i meet my alarm clock today. i'm happy. and the company allows us to meet the nicest passengers. it's a work-cation. i'm a native of oakland. and i never liked the city, but it's a gorgeous place.

i'm in love with it. i wish i could live over here, too. i want to thank you for allowing the company to grow. we have great benefits. and tony has been helpful since we became a union. i have braces on my teeth. i have kaiser. i want it thank you, again, for getting the company forward. i'm glad to see that there are ladies and gentlemen on the board and i know some of you are running for office and i encourage you and i will pray for you. god bless you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. like kendra, i just celebrated my one year with cheriot as well. i've been part of the process

from the beginning. we partners with sfmta staff. as part of that regime, cheriot agreed to share data and for administering the permit program. they've moved problematic stops and changed our routes. they've agreed to expansion criteria, designed to complement and not compete with public transit. cheriot has worked with the teamsteres to make sure we're getting good wages. this is what partnership looks like. we have a tremendous task ahead when it comes to san franciscans tackling problems as our population grows. chariot is committed to complement public transit.

we'll share our data and serve our communities of concern and grow a skilled labor work force as proud partners with the teamsters. thank you for your support. >> supervisor tang: any other members of the public that wish to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. questions, comments or motions? >> supervisor safai: i would like to make a motion to send this item to the full board with positive recommendation. >> supervisor tang: we'll do that with recommendations. any other matters before us? >> clerk: no. >> supervisor tang: thank you. our meeting is adjourned.

i want to thank everyone for coming here, all of the guests and leaders standing behind me. we're here today because history, earthquakes and climate change compel us to protect our city. history. over 100 years ago, the 'em sea wall was built and we're fortunate it lasted this long. it was built at a time when they didn't know how to stabilize against earthquake risk. we know the big one will strike us at some point over the next three decades. and if it does, we'll see flooding along the water front. climate change, despite climate deniers we know that the

estimates of sea level rise by the end of the next century are 4-10 feet. we need to fix this sea wall. what is it that we're trying to protect? millions of san franciscans and californians who live work and play along the waterfront. we see 24 million tourists visiting our waterfront every year. it's imperative we protect this asset not just for san francisco, but the bay and the california economy. i want to again thank everyone standing behind us, our mayor, board of supervisors. when i was on the board of supervisors, i served on the capital planning committee, where we planned for how we took care of tens of billions of dollars of assets. this is at the top of the list. i want to thank my current colleagues in the legislature.

you'll hear from scott wiener. in 2005 they established the financing district we're talking about today. she had drafted the legislation to ensure we're investing in infrastructure as well as historic resources, the bill we're discussing today is to ensure we're expanding what it is that we're protecting. protecting our shoreline, ensuring we can rebuild our seawall. before i introduce our next speaker, i want to say two things. we're here in part because we have to come together as a community. you'll hear about the efforts at the local level, as well as at the state level and what we had hoped was going to be the federal level, but despite what donald trump is saying what he is doing about infrastructure, none of us are holding our breath. so san francisco and california need to act. we're here for our kids. and our grandkids. none of us are going to be

around when the next century turns. but my hope is my son and his friends and his next generations, will look to this day as a day that our city leaders came together to care for and steward the assets of our city. our next speaker is someone who has children of his own, and i know that he cares very much about ensuring that the future of our city is in good hands. i'm delighted to help introduce the mayor of the city and county of san francisco, mayor mark farrell. >> thank you, david. i am proud to be here as the mayor to thank -- [horn honk] i'm going to start off. i want to thank mr. chu along with assembly member ting, but specifically on this issue here.

leadership is critical to the future of our city. critical to the future of the waterfront and proud to be here at this announcement today. our waterfront is one of the most iconic parts of san francisco. it always has been. subjects of pictures, it's why tourists come here. it's one of the most beautiful parts of our city. and holding up the waterfront is our seawall. these are the buildings, the waterfront, the restaurants, the small businesses, but it's been holding back the bay to make sure that our tunnels are not flooded. holding back the rising tides of our san francisco bay to make sure we can walk along the waterfront in front of us here today. it is critically important to san francisco today and to the future of our city. we need to do everything we can as a city to make sure it survives and it's strong for the next generation.

this project is not cheap. i want to really thank elaine for her leadership and the entire port commission for making sure we plan for the future. it is a $5 billion project that we have to plan for. the voters of san francisco will have a bond on the ballot going toward this effort. and the bill is going to play a huge start in kick starting the project. and let's be clear, this is about planning for the future of the city. it's about infrastructure and making sure our city is resilient when the next earthquake hits. the next earthquake will hit. it's not a matter of if, but when. we need to be strong and ready to respond and make sure our infrastructure is ready to protect the residents of our city. proud to be here today and really want to thank assembly member chu for his leadership. thank you, everyone.

>> thank you, mr. mayor. some 13 years ago in 2005 when they established the legislation to take what were known as public trust lands owned by the state to turn them over to the authority of our port department for stewardship, i want to thank elaine and her department and commissioners for bringing this to our attention for so many years. i championed the earthquake safety emergency response bonds. there were two of them over the years. unfortunately, we were not able to the bonds to develop or create the assets to protect what we have here at the port. with that i'd like to bring up elaine forbes to tell us where our seawall infrastructure needs to go. >> thank you so much, assembly member chiu. i'm representing the port staff. we have the port commission president by my side and she'd

she's been a steward of the waterfront for 20 years. i can say this is a dream come true day for us. it's remarkable to see the leadership behind me embracing and supporting the need for investment in the waterfront. as our mayor and assembly member has said, this seawall is a work horse for the city. so much economic activity. the infrastructure. and there is other things, too, that the seawall does that goes unseen. it's going to be the place of emergency response. we expect people to go out by water in the event of a major earthquake and goods to come in by water. this has to hold up. if we're preparing and preventing disaster, it will be five times less to do so proactively. this represents how we can get this done.

how this daunting task of a $5 billion effort will come to fruition because the leaders behind me are making this a priority. we start with the $500 million phase, laying out the improvements for 20-30 years and then tackling the most critical pieces first. i want to give a huge thank you to naomi kelly behind me. she pole vaulted this project along with mayor lee by identifying it as a critical piece of infrastructure for the city. so we're so -- port staff, port commission and i are so excited for the day, so thankful for the state leadership for assembly member chu, ting, getting us $250 million for the project, should this be approved, we'll work hard to get it done. we're so thankful the leadership has heard our call and is going to prioritize a safe and vibrant

waterfront. thank you so much. >> i'm grateful to my colleagues for representing this effort. phil ting, as well as our next speaker, senator scott wiener. >> thank you, david, i want to thank assemblyman chiu for his leadership. when we served on the board of superviso supervisors together, we all care about infrastructure, but david took so much leadership on not just the sexy infrastructure, but on the infrastructure that we depend on but the people don't see. and the seawall is certainly part of that. i want to thank the port. i am really trying to work and support the port's effort to move this bond to the ballot.

i want to thank elaine, my neighbor, and the entire port staff for its leadership on this critical issue. this is really about two realities of life. sea level rise and earthquakes. and as much as we want to wish them all away, we can't. the big earthquake is going to come and unless we take radical, radical action today around reducing carbon emissions and fighting climate change, we're going to continue to see sea level rise. and sadly because of the disaster known as washington d.c., there is no bold action happeni happeni federally to address climate change, and we're doing what we can but this is a national problem we have to resolve. we're going to continue to see significant sea level rise. our downtown is so at risk of

inundation, we're doing what we can to reduce carbon emissions. doing what we income the bay area. just a year ago we passed a tax to start restoring the wetlands destroyed in the bay area 150 years ago, because that will help us to mitigate sea level rise. but with everything we're doing, we have to have the seawall. it has to be intact, has to be able to with stand an earthquake and be able to protect us from the bay. we love the bay, but the bay is going to cause us problems when it floods the muni subway tunnel and downtown areas. we need to get this bill passed. this is just one step. we need the bond. we need this bill and a lot more work to fund this project. i look forward to collaborating to get it done. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, senator wiener for reminding us we're putting the

sexy back into infrastructure. i want to thank everyone for coming together. i want to invite the next speaker, someone who has been a champion for infrastructure in our city, supervisor london breed. >> thank you, everyone for being here today. you know, it's easy to talk to residents of san francisco about the need for more housing. the need to address challenges with public safety and homelessness and things we can see. what is harder is trying to help people to understand the significance of the things that we can't see. the infrastructure needs that hold our city together. we know the consequences when we don't do what is necessary to protect our infrastructure. we only look at new orleans and what happened with the levies and how that devastated that particular city.

and so we in san francisco, we must be proactive, we must take these kind of bold moves and creative solutions. i want to thank assembly member david chiu for finding a very creative way to help us pay for it. i want to thank the voters in advance, because this fall, we're going to have a ballot measure that is going to help with $350 million to help in this effort. we know that there is so much work to do in san francisco. and as the president of the board who now serves on the unknown capital planning committee, the needs of our infrastructure are at the top of my list on a regular basis. i want to thank not only noemie kelly, but also elaine forbes. she would reach out and say, supervisor, i want to meet with you about the seawall, i say,

wait a minute, i have to work with this challenge. she always brings it back to how important it is not just to protect my district, but to protect the entire city. her leadership along with port commissioner president kimberley brandon that been outstanding. they've been in sacramento, in d.c., they've been all over the place trying to put together the money for this particular seawall and i know with their leadership and the work of all the policy behind me, we're going to get this done for the people of san francisco. thank you so much. >> thank you, president breed. our final speaker is someone who represents the district we're currently in who knows that it is her residence and businesses that could be flooded if we do not invest in the infrastructure. please join me in welcoming supervisor kim. >> thank you, assembly member

chiu. as someone who represented your sister district when we both served on the board of supervisors, we understand the importance of strengthening our seawall, shield that prerkts our residents and workers and many of the tourist attractions up and down the waterfront. mayor mark farrell, myself, supervisor cohen and peskin represent the districts that are along the boundary lines of the seawall lot that we're here about. so much of what we love about our city is just along the waterfront, our housing, offices, jobs, transportation, the giants who i see in the audience today. it is important to make prudent investments today to strengthen the seawall shield and strengthen the unbreakable bond between the city of san francisco and the waterfront we love so much. i want to thank our san francisco delegation in sacramento, for making sure

we're prioritizing the very infrastructure that will keep the city beautiful and running, thank you very much. [applause] >> that concludes today's press conference. again, appreciate everyone coming together around a plan to protect the future of our city and our seawall. any final questions? we will end the press conference and open it up to folks to ask individual questions. thank you very much.

okay. good morning, today is wednesday, march 21, 2018. and this is the regular meeting of the abatement appeals board. i'd like to remind everyone to turn off all electronic devices and the first item is roll call. commissioner konstin. commissioner mccarthy. here. commissioner walker. here. commissioner warshell, here. commissioner clinch and

commissioner gilman are aexcused and commissioner lee is expected. we have a quorum and the next item, will all parties giving testimony today please stand and raise your right hand. do you promise to do to the best of your knowledge, you may be seated. and there will be public comment for three minutes each and then lastly there's time for the appellant and the department staff. the next item is item c, approval of the minutes and to adopt the minutes for the meeting on february 21, 2018. motion to approve. >> approved. >> clerk: thank you.

[please stand by] owner record of appallent, marilou samson, relief from abatement and assessment of costs. >> good morning, members. the acting chief housing inspector. and we have our inspection team here with us today. district inspector donald osbourne and josé lópez our senior housing inspector who will present our case. >> good morning, members of the board. my name is josé lópez and i'm a

senior housing inspector. and in regards to the property at 3515 santiago street, the legal use of the property is a single family dwelling with two floors of occupancy and the first floor has a living room and a dining room and a kitchen and a bathroom under construction and a garage. the second floor has bedrooms and a bathroom. and at the time of the initial inspection the building was occupied by the property owner and her tenant. the complaint was initiated by the tenant occupying the subject property regarding the dangerous conditions resulting from the maintenance, partially completed construction and the excess of belongings in the common space. the dwelling was first inspected on july 7, 2017. and it was a violation issued, with the housing code

violations. we performed subsequent inspections and met with the complaintant at the property and the owner and no progress was made. we met with the property owner to provide the information to instruct her of what is the code enforcement procedure, and we told her to seek other organizations, with the mayor's office of housing and the department association so that she can get some help on how to complete the work. i met personally with the property owner at my office and i explained that we wanted compliance because we are concerned about the risky conditions for her tenant and

also for herself. and we have -- you know, complaints -- we went to the director's hearing and now she has appealed the order of abatement. we wrote a second notice of violation to describe the number of building permits that she has applied for throughout the year. she started with some building permits that were taking out like in 2011 and she has been renewing these permits as they become expired but the work has not been completed. this is where we are. thanks. >> i have one question. so the original notice of violation was on -- was on the violation? >> yes. >> and the second one was to wrap up the building code violations? >> to wrap up the order of

the -- the different numbers of building permits because it's -- there's so much information that it was very confusing because she has been renewing permits and all it says is that this new permit is to renew a previous permit and then you go and you find that previous permit and then they said this was to renew a previous permit and so it was very confusing. and in order for us to try to get compliance we met with her and saying, you know, you have been renewing different permits so we go back to the original permit that you had filed for and this is what you filed initially and if this is what you want to complete then let's go ahead and do that work so we can be in compliance. >> when you had the director's hearing both of these notices of violation and all of the relevant permits -- permit information -- was reviewed at the director's hearing, both

sets of documents? >> yes. >> great. i just want to point out that in our -- so it's effectively appealing two orders of abatement and i just want to be clear that we're talking about both orders of abatement in this one agenda item. >> exactly, yes. >> okay, great. >> thank you. >> any other questions commissioners before we hear? >> when was the first permit? >> let's see it probably is this one... 2011, does that sound right? >> yes, that sounds right. issue to complete in 2011, yes. >> okay, thank you. thank you. >> thank you. >> now we can have the appella

appellant. you have seven minutes and both of you... >> good morning. yeah -- >> and your name. >> marilou samson. i got permits for all of my work except when i hired contractors they got my money and left me with the job unfinished. they kept calling them and they said they'll come, they'll come, and it took long and i got other issues. then i reviewed the permit -- renewed the permit thinking that i'd get another contractor to finish the job because the other job left the job unfinished and just took my money. and i kept paying people to finish the job and i got twice -- twice i was taking my money and left with the job unfinished. then there were things that happened in my life like my mom passed away and when mr. osbourne came my son --

there was stuff in my house and there was stuff in the common areas and i was organizing the garage because my mom just passed away. and also the permit expired and i stopped doing work because of my mom passing. and then there was a time that i renewed the permit and recently i broke my arm and i was trying to do the work myself because i'm kind of having a hardship with money after giving money to contractors and leaving me with work unfinished. and there was a time since 2011 that i waited four years to keep calling these planning contractors to finish the job without something on the ground, but until i just got pushed right in and complaining to the contractors' board and asking for new contractors. and i got the jobs approved for plumbing and electrical and i

was still cited. my house is a one-unit -- i co-own the house with my son. he doesn't live on the property. i'm the only person living on the property right now. and the person -- it so happened that i was having financial hardship so i rented one room to this tenant who happens to be breaking stuff in the house and june 28th he broke the stovetop and i evicted him and he retaliated to me and complained to the building and housing department and that's where i got this notice of violation. and he was calling -- he was contacting mr. osbourne and always in contact with donald osbourne. we're still in the local retainer in the supreme court where he forged my signature to dismiss the case. and he also did a forcible entry while i was gone in new jersey during my mom's passing and my rooms where he was not allowed. he broke the doors and the locks and stuff. i tried my best and -- i tried

my best to finish this work but i got cheated by contractors, mon, money, money, and when they got the money they leave me with work unfinished and sometimes there's urgencies in life that i have to attend. i'm trying my best. and it so happened also that i want to get a permit -- there were -- regionally i filed a permit in 2005 and there were two bathrooms. and one of the bathrooms upstairs and i added another bathroom ground floor for my mother who was disabled because she can't climb the stairs. then we put a hold on the bathroom upstairs and then -- because i got, like, there was a revision and there was a change of mind in regards to the location of the bathroom and i have to file a revision to the plans because the location was changed. so the kitchen doesn't get smaller. of course it's taking a lot of space from the kitchen. and then -- then i so happened

that i got, you know, taken advantage by different contractors being a woman by myself, giving money and then left with the job unfinished. then my mom passing and my accident, i broke an arm and they put metal in my arm trying to do the work i can because of financial hardship, you know? it's not like -- i'm trying to violate anything. i'm trying my best but there are things that are beyond my control. >> so just to ask a question. so where are you now? i mean, are you prepared to -- to move forward? >> before the first director's hearing i don't know why they said i don't siste have any improvement. i filed a renew of this and they said that there's a dome on the

shower and make it just for your size because i'm small because the person who built it -- >> so you're prepared to go forward and there is no tenant involved anymore? >> i'm the only person living there. >> all right. any other questions? okay. you think you have more time? >> yeah, i'm trying my best but there are things beyond my control. i have financial hardship and i'm only one income. i lost my job recently because i'm trying to do this abatement and i stopped going to... (indiscernible) because i was trying my best to finish this work so i don't get into abatement and still i went to abatement. i'm trying to work with mr. osbourne, i don't know why they say that i'm not doing any progress. i'm doing progress. i sent pictures of what i did, what i'm progressing, but i'm only one person and i'm a woman and i'm only one income. i have lost my income recently. i'm trying my best and i am not

doing any harm in my house is safe. i don't know why they say it's not safe. everything is safe. i tried to do all of the work myself. i tried my best and i broke my arm -- but i have -- i have a contractor, that's the tenant who took pictures of the work of the licensed contractor and i have been existing with the licensed contractor who did the work and he left some open wires in the garage. and that tenant -- because i evicted him, he did all of the worst things that he could against me. like the contractor, the electrician, i was so upset with him and he opened up these wires in the garage and those are in the garage. and that picture is in the garage. and then he left me with -- i have an existing contract with him and then we have the contractor conflict, the official contract for $6,800 including the panel, that was for the panel in the garage where he was supposed to upgrade the main -- the breaker to 200

amps and he wants $6,000 just for the main panel and i said i don't have that much money to pay you another $6,000. so he left me with that open thing. and then the tenant who my evicted tenant used against me and now that's in the garage. now i got somebody else to continue the work so that breaker -- to do the breaker. i got somebody else who is giving me less than $6,000. because i cannot afford the $6,000. we have a contractor conflict. i think that i sent documentation of my contract with the licensed contractor where he had the current work and i have an existing contract with him where he filed the permit for that work in the garage. >> so how long do you need to finish this work? >> give me until the end of the year. >> i'm not sure that we'll do that, but i'll ask the same thing of our staff.

>> yeah, yeah, because my -- oh, yeah. the permit that i renewed gave me to december i think. >> okay, thank you. >> for the building permit. thank you, your honor. >> public comment? there's no public comment. staff have rebuttal? >> we just wanted to make sure that we are just concerned about the safety of the tenants, the property owner and the neighbors. violations include electrical, building and plumbing. and we have permits and i'm sorry that i'm going to correct the first building permit was taken out in 2005 and it was renewed in 2011.

and then again in 2014, 2015, and it's been going like that. >> what do you estimate that the timeframe for satisfying the notices of violation? is the -- is the permit to remove and to fix the illegal occupancy or to apply for a housing unit? >> no, i think that there's no illegal unit. >> it was just -- >> it was just unfinished work. an unfinished bathroom with exposed plumbing and electrical. the kitchen has outlets where wires are exposed. and also concerns about the, aggress because there was -- egress because there was a lot of open storage in the bathrooms

and the garage, so the unfinished bathroom is the one that will take the most, but i think that the electrical work can be completed in a month if they were to hire a contractor to do that. >> we are requesting that the order be appelled and we understand that people have hardships, especially in these owner occupied buildings. >> yes. >> got it. thanks. thank you. does the appellate have rebuttal? you can rebutt, ma'am. yeah, come on up. three minutes. >> if you are talking about the permit in 2005, that was the upper bathroom upstairs that was remodeled and it was an existing bathroom. it was finished in 2006. it so happened that i filed a

permit for two bathrooms -- >> i understand, it's just not been inspected and it may be administrative but it needs to be resolved with our staff. >> they told me to -- it depends on the inspector that is coming in the house and they will inspect the second bathroom they said. and i talked to the inspector who came to inspect the bathroom and then he said that (indiscernible) he said because it's under one permit or that bathroom has been finished way back in 2006. and he said just finish this and i'll file for both of them. so i'm trying to finish that bathroom so i could just file both of them. and then also i don't have -- my common area it so happens that the tenant calls mr. osbourne when i'm taking stuff out of the garage because of my mom's passing. they come there when the 10ant calls them and when i'm not

there and he doesn't come there and i took out of the stuff and we're ready because it was my mom's passing and he got a lot of stuff that was dumped because he can't wait for the second bathroom downstairs and she passed away and my son dumped his stuff in my house. >> do you have a contractor now? >> yeah, i have contractors. i have -- >> yeah. >> thank you. >> we are trying to finish the second bathroom because that bathroom upstairs was finished way back in 2006 and it's that i cannot -- i made the mistake of putting them under one permit and i should have separated them because i didn't know that the bathroom downstairs would be prolonged because of the contractor that i hired and left me with a job unfinished which is beyond my control. i actually sued him and got reimbursement. after many years of waiting.

>> okay, thank you. that's the end of the rebuttal and public comment. commissioners? >> well, i -- i'm tending to think that we should uphold the order of abatement and allow some time for the work to be done. clearly, there's things that are -- >> (indiscernible). >> no, ma'am. and, clearly, there are things that are affecting safety issues at this house and it just needs to be solved. i think that woul be a simple solution -- but i want to hear others. >> and the attorney office and where there's life safety hazards that the work must commence. any extension of the order of abatement, the work must be

within 30 days -- >> okay, is it possible to break down the health/safety issues for a more urgent time schedule? >> (indiscernible). >> no, ma'am. >> you could probably phrase the motion that way to provide additional time for parts of the violation that do not involve life safety. assuming the department would be able to enforce that. >> okay, thank you. other commissioners? >> yes, i would have t concur tt we're very sympathetic and we understand how challenging it can be to get all of the work done that you need, but where there's life safety issues that could affect you, which we care about, when you had tenants, certainly, your neighbors -- this is a very dense

neighborhood so we have to take the life safety issues extremely seriously. so having the three-month period that's allowable under law to alleviate all of the life safety issues is really the priority and, you know, clearly the department has been showing a very strong desire to work with you and help you through this and recommend resources that may be able to set you on a course to more successful resolution than this very long history now of frustrated attempts to accomplish your goals.

so acknowledging that this has gone on for a very long time, whether it's 2005 or 2011 or 2014, these are very long periods for safety issues to be present. and so the proposal to go to the limit of what the law allows us -- 90 days for an extension -- is probably the most productive thing that we can do at this point but, again, you have very willing and supportive partners in the department and we're trying to help you to accomplish your goal and, you know, we would really recommend that you get all of the assistance that you can from

them so that you're more successful in accomplishing these wrap-ups, these completed programs, to get your projects done and have your building safe and eliminate these outstanding issues. >> you want to phrase that into a motion? >> well, i would accept what you are saying that we do 90 days. >> to get the permits in 30 days to execute -- >> the code provides that -- >> (indiscernible). >> ma'am, please, thank you. >> the code says that the work shall commence within 30 days and be completed in 90 days. and with regarding out the nonlife safety issues i defer to the department if that's

feasible for them to enforce such a thing and the order of abatement includes everything and once it becomes final it would be recorded on the property. i don't know that you could actually separate out certain violations from others. >> it's probable that those are the ones that are the most -- maybe the longest fix. >> right. >> all right. so the motion would be that work commence within 30 days. >> and i've spoken to the staff and this has gone on for years. if she has a contractor and she has the funding this work could be done in 90 days. if she doesn't have the funding it's not going to get done at all. >> so i think that the motion that you're trying to articulate possibly would be that you want

to move to deny the appeal and uphold the orders of abatement because there's two of them on the condition that the work be commenced within 30 days and be completed within 90 days and that the basis for that motion is that the orders of abatement were properly issued and that you also would uphold the assessment of costs, is that correct? >> that is very correct and thank you for that clear statement. >> so we have the motion and the second. i'll take that motion from commissioner warshell and seconded by commissioner walker. commissioner konstin, commissioner mccarthy. yes. commissioner walker. yes, commissioner warshell, yes. and motion carries unanimously. great. okay. so our next case is number 6842, 58 wawona street, san francisco,

california. the appellant, relief from assessment of costs. would the department like to come forward? >> good morning, commissioners. patrick oh, reardon, building inspection division. i'm here to present the appeal on case number 2017, 61951, regardinregard 58 wawona streete complaint was filed on number 10th of 2017 and as a result of the investigation, the site investigation, the violation was issued on february 15th. and that notice of violation was subsequently amended on march third to not require drawings for the work.

and the notice of violation specifically states a complaint investigation has revealed the front stairs at the above address has been remodeled without the benefit of a building permit. the corrective action on that is obtain a building permit with plans and planning approval, obtain required inspections to abate complaints. a permit was filed in july to address the complaint. the permit was issued on september 25th and it was signed off on october 6th. however, as the permit was being reviewed and prior to its completion, code enforcement actions took place on that permit specifically. it was referred to code enforcement for additional

action on may 2, 2017. that was prior to the issuance of the permit. the case was at a director's hearing on september 14th, it was, and i and an order was posn september 21st. so the appeal was filed on the order which is what is before you right now and the permit was signed off shortly thereafter on october 6th. so what we have here before us i believe is relief has been sought on the assessment of costs which is the assessments are $1,191.66. plus monitoring fee, accruals of $145, and there will be a final assessment at closure of the case at d.b.i. of about
