see that molding up there? it's kind of like the molding on there. it's right next to the wall on the ceiling, so it requires us to strip a section of the ceiling, maybe about 1.5 feet wide along the entire length of the building, entire length of the wall, install the strap and close it back up. so in situations like that, we build a barricade wall, and we separate that section of the room from the rest of the room, and we do that work and finish it and remove the barricade. [please stand by]

and was going to be installed. that may be designed and they moved it out.

>> thank you. thank you. we will hear from the department now. [no audio] >> dbi, commissioners. the building permit as you know, it represents the cdc. this is an update of the buildings. the department is forceful to get everyone to comply. our dbi engineers from the department, will eventually

issue. and it will take a few months to get the permit. and from in the door out the door issued. and would expand to the 26th of october of 2018. notes from the brief, i do think they were taken from phones as well, regarding plans. i have the plans with me tonight. and they are the plans that were in the brief. and that would be the intended scope of work under this permit. and if they want to make changes, as you heard, with the revision permit.

and on the plan, it could be accepted. on the comments there, i think it was the commissioner acknowledged the work, of apartment number one. it was a revised plan. the apartment number one, with the over head, we will look at the rebuttal. >> i am looking at this. it seems to be okay on the

screen. >> so and this is apartment number one. shown on the inside, the upper spot. and there is a stairwell on the outside there, so i . so that was the question, then, there is also -- there is some -- there is an angle at the intersection on the joist. you have to do work from the inside. i don't know how he will do it from the outside. it would be impossible. i think there is work to do inside the unit. it may be less than the work on the approved plan. there is an impact.

i would agree with the brief from the architect on the independent inspector on the work that it would be hard to live in the unit if you are going to -- accomplish this. the ceiling is open. if there is no one there, the work would be getting done. from the revision sheets from what i look at, it is all being done on the outside. that is not what i am looking at. he can look at this when he gets the chance. the other thing, a lot of the

tenant stuff is dealt with the rent board. if you go to the website for the frequently asked question to the rent board, there is a lot that should have been done. it is up to miss peters to bring that up. the dbi would have to factor in this work. and contact the rent control board for more information. and there is also some notes about housing and tenants will not be entitled to the housing service but will be part of the compensation as provided in the administrative code chapter 65a and 65a.4 to provide a housing

service that is -- the substitute housing service. we do not deal with this. we get a lot of calls. and there is a loss of storage and parking, we had recent opinions on that. that is all done by the rec board. i thought i would add this before the hearing tonight. >> i have a question, are there adus added to the property, are there basic required --

[indiscernible] >> two questions, one, and this may -- could this work be done in any way without intrusion, seeing that the reality of life is that to do the work, they will have to be intrusion to the apartment? >> and that was a question for the engineer. that would go to the engineer. he stated that they can do work from the outside. what i have done on this is the detail that might be clarified.

it is up to the engineer to meet the impacts of the codes. if he can do that by not going into the units, all the better. >> you answered my question. >> the unit is on the ground floor. >> and so what i see is that we don't have a set of plans that is going to work in the context of what the -- this is not the city plans. should we just kick this can down the road and do it on another day? deal with another set of plans. >> we will have to continue this. >> i mean, normally, i mean,

sometimes they would realize that they need to speculate, come up with an agreement and they both look at the set of drawings and agree that these are acceptable and the board adopts them. >> there will be a rebuttal. and i think it would be, your testimony, is there advisable testimony to the project sponsor that with these plans, we probably cannot approve the set of plans knowing there is another set of plans. that is what the appeal process is all about. and most likely we should kick this down the road and have it on another day with the advice that they should reconsider

their position on the plans, and also, how they are dealing with the customer? >> yeah, i think that is a good suggestion. unfortunately when people come up before us here, they don't -- if you change, it requires a revision, but in this case, you can't really go with the revision. there could be drawings brought in that could be adopted. he probably needs to get through dbi, i could probably help him with this to make sure it meets the impact of the program with regards to the design which is the question that you asked. can he do this outside the building.

>> also, advise him that is probably where this is going to go. and the potential problem being back here with a new set of plans and we should have a dialogue. you can talk what you want and say whatever you want. i am foreshadowing. >> i really want to finish, i think you should really talk to the rent board to make sure he is falling all the state requirements that the rent board has for the program. and it is very important because i saw when i started to read the plan, i think there is written notice. >> thank you for your advice. thank you very much. >> thank you, is there public comment on the item? seeing none.

you have three minutes for rebuttal. >> i just wanteded to point out, i appreciate the inspector duffy pointing out in regards to the work the interior that was showed. and also, in regards to the second units in the building, i know that the architect had mentioned that they were because of the work that was going to transpire underneath the retrofit which is incorrect, because there were illegally converted units in the building and so they are vacant because they are under inspection right now with dbi. and they are waiting to take further action on this as well. and some of those are on the third and fourth floors, a couple of those are. and those floors on the plan, in the exhibit, they did not do the third and fourth floor. they show the foundation, the

basement, the first and second floor. on the third and fourth floor as stated on the plans of dbi that the floors would not be affected by the retrofit. so it would be easy just to move into one of those while they do the work on the first floor of my unit. >> i would suggest that the conversation, the negotiation that you have directly with your landlord, where we don't have the jurisdiction. that is a rent board jurisdiction. it would be advisable for the bylaw representative to hear that. and that will probably be a recommended conversation. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> we will hear from the permit holders of the residence. you have three minutes for rebuttal. do you have anything further to add? >> as far as our response to miss peters, my information is i can't say this for sure. i don't know what their intentions are.

any of our -- we have went through three of the retrofits so far. up to this point, we had no trouble with any of the tenants. no complaints, no problems. no problems with any of them. so i wanted to say that for the record. we have done three of them. and they were smooth. and we did not have problems. most likely our inclination, i can't say for sure, because i am not there, the reason they don't want to respond to miss peters because there is an hyperbole going on. you have your legal units. complaint after complaint after complaint. they have to make sure they are on legal -- on solid legal ground when they speak with miss peters.

the non-response to this, it is my inclination that is the reason that most of our tenants, 99% of the tenants are -- we have deep relationships with and historically we had good relations with miss peters. but i just, you know, i want to say regarding all three of these, they have been smooth. the tenants have not complained. and they have been happy with the notice and the compensation that we made. i wanted to state that for the record. >> i advise you to speak with the tenant and advise your client. not respond her after you post notice in the hallway. and there is nothing of response back. there is a posted notice. you responded that the notice

has been responded. it may be advisable to inquirco with a lawyer. >> thank you. >> one question for the builder. i have a question, please. according to the department, looking at either the revised plans for the plans that have submitted that it would be able to be performed solely on the sister, he feels. i think if you look at the details of how it will be done. >> more than likely, we will likely continue this so we can see a better set of plans, a

more clear set prior to making a decision. i believe that is where we are heading. >> thank you, sir. >> mr. duffy, do you have anything to add? >> just real quickly. there has been a permit on the building to comply with the rules issued for alterations. including kitchen and bathroom. the permit was 2018. we have not gone further with it. there is a lot of work done on the building with the permit so far. that is a permit. that is the work on the upper floors. i didn't bring the copy of the notice with me. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you.

commissioners. the matter is submitted. >> so i would suggest that we do a continuance on this. and i would deal with the advisory to the landlord representativ representatives. to pay attention to the laws and the rights of the tenants and give the tenant -- respond to the tenant constructively. and with negotiation with the l -- and when you come back here, with the appropriate set of plans, which you have purposed for this continuance, that if there is intrusive construction,

which you may have to do, i mean there is no law against. the issue of the appeal ant temporary lodging or relocation or whatever according to the law is resolved before you walk in here because it will be a much smoother situation for all of us if that communication and negotiation has been issued. a continuance due to the need for an up-to-date set of plans which properly represents the permit. >> i think -- do you mind if i -- >> you can do what you want. >> a clear set of plans indicating what work needs to be done in and out of the property

in regards to the report that has nothing to do with the particular board. we are here on the merits of the permit before us. i believe it is your motion -- >> i have a question. mr. duffy, the motion that we are making, will it involve you reviewing other plans? i want to make sure we get your sign off on this? >> if they come up with a design, we need to make sure -- i don't want a situation where they come back with a set of plans, the board said yeah, that is fine, we go to dbi and they said it is not. they should probably contact me. and i will get in touch with them, get the plans expected and see if they are okay. >> you will make that as part of the motion. >> i think so.

>> get the plans. that is an agreement between both sides. >> with the augmentation. >> do we want to bring it to january 30th? >> january 30th? >> the 9th is very busy. >> the 30th -- >> how much time do you need? >> the reason i would like it -- the sooner the better. >> tfor the retrofitting for safety. we have a motion from the vice president to continue this matter to january 9th, to all the permit holders to submit

revised plans with approval and consultation with dbi. and with the tenants. and with the tenant. will we allow for additional briefing? >> test the plans. >> okay. so on that notion, the commissioner? so that motion carried. the matter is continued to january 9th. >> thank you very much. >> the meeting is adjourned. >> thank you very much.

violence. it hurts our families and it hurts our communities. and as matty scott from the healing circle has always said, her people have heard people. when you think about it, why would we want someone to feel that same hurt and pain from violence, why would we want them to her just as bad as we hurt hurts when we lose a family member or a friend to senseless violence. so many people who are here today have really been in this fight for so many years and i see shawn richer with brothers against guns who has been on the battlefield fighting to try and resolve so many conflicts. things that we may not always see out in the open but have led to amazing results of people being able to live their lives alive and free. and we have so much work to do. we have to get he stands off the

streets. i want to thank united players were consistently holding these buybacks to get people an opportunity to get these guns out of their hands, out of their homes, out of our streets, out of our playgrounds got out of our communities, and destroyed. that is what our ultimate goal is. to get as many guns off the streets as possible. [applause] >> one got off the streets means thousands of lives saved. i want to thank the san francisco police department and chief bill scott, and so many folks who come here whenever rudy reaches out to the department and asked for assistance in obtaining these guns, and getting rid of these guns. the police department has been on the front line of the community partner in this effort i want to thank all the sponsors and all the amazing organizations that are here to

work together to address what we know has really taken far too many lives of our friends and our family members. we say not one more. not one more back, not one more funeral, not one more. and today starts a new day. i want to thank rudy and united players, and so many amazing people. one gun buyback at a time period regarding hundreds of guns off the streets. hundreds and thousands of lives saved as a result. it is also due to this community coming together to address a real challenge. not just here in our city but all over our country. we will push for reform. we will push to change how the kids that are growing up now, their normal should not be gun drills. their normal should be happiness and playing in the playground. we talked about this at the visual vigil we held for so many family members this past sunday.

was a sunday, sunday where we talked about some of the people who lost family members to gun violence. suicide, accidents where kids got a hold of guns. situations where people's children have been murdered. not just on the streets, but from -- in the classroom. this cannot continue to be normal. we are going to do what we can to get as many guns off the streets through this gun buyback i want to thank all of you for playing a major role in saving lives. thank you all so much for being here today. [applause] >> thank you, mayor. as you know today is december 11 th. in san francisco last year, december 12th was a real significant day in san francisco i don't know if you guys remember what happened. mayor ed lee passed away.

may keep rest in peace. that man was about ending senseless gun violence. he was a big contributor and supporter of ending gun violence so last year, a day -- one year after december 12, mayor london breed was brought in as our mayor. she has been doing a tremendous job of helping ending gun violence and all violence across san francisco. i want to give it up to our sister right here for staying honest and consistent and true with her words. thank you. a shout out to ed lee. i know he's in the house. so there's a lot of partners who are in all of this. project level, turf, the brady campaign, west bay, all these organizations have been helping out to make this happen. the sfpd has been a big part of helping out.

we have a new captain in the neighborhood. big edge. what is up while we will have to find a shirt that fits you. [laughter] so anyway, there has been so many people who have been helping out to make this happen. we can't do this alone. i want to bring up somebody else , our district supervisor, jane kim. she's been very supportive and we have one of her workers up here. my brother like no other, a boss player. [applause] >> good morning, everyone. let's put that down here. thank you all for being here. my name is john. as rudy said, i am with supervisor kim's office. here on her behalf. she's any meeting so she can't make it. that's why i am here. i have come to find that in the work that we do, we often encounter issues that are deeply personal to us. and i know that the issue of gun violence is something that is deeply personal too many san franciscans and many americans across the country.

i personally lost my grandfather to gun violence. i've lost wattle uncles to gun violence and at 16, i lost my best friend to gun violence. my family and i, like far too many others know what a destructive force an unsecured firearm in the wrong hands can be. we know that it takes a split second to make an irreversible decision that will last a lifetime. we know there is no going back. it is like efforts like this, this buyback, that matter. each individual firearm taken off the streets is a life saved. is a family kept intact and a community kept whole. c.u.p. quote that so eloquently states it takes the hood to save the hood is accurate. that is exactly why this matters i really want to commend the united players, rudy, the entire team and everyone who comes out to make this possible and i really hope to see everyone on

saturday. thank you. [applause] >> we have a couple of more speakers we want to bring up here. where is' v.i.p.? we want to make sure we acknowledge you guys are doing the work you do. where is my brother at? that man right there did 45 years in prison, and he is out back helping and senseless gun violence. and all the brothers who did the race, raise your hands. all these brothers right here. and some brothers behind you who all, at one point were taking life but are now giving life. they are now helping out to and senseless gun violence. my brother right there. you're involved in helping us out. so the next gentleman i want to bring up has been so instrumental in helping san francisco and violence periods. you gave me a quote and i will probably let him share it with you. give it up to our chief william scott. [applause]

[laughter] >> good morning. i will just go straight to what the mayor said and reemphasize, not one more. not one more. and this is not going to happen by accident. thank you for all the leaders in the room, starting with the mayor and all the leaders in the room. members of the san francisco police department that are with me here today. it takes a community. everyone up here and most people in this room have been impacted in one way or another by gun violence. whether it be suicide, murder, accident, violence is violence and a life is a life. not one more. we are tired of it and sick of it as a community. we will do something about it. i got asked yesterday whether buybacks make a difference. i think they make a difference. i know they make a difference. because taking guns off of the street prevents them from getting in the hands of people that are going to use them for the wrong reasons. and any way that we can do that,

we will do that. united players, thank you for what you do. all of the partners in this endeavour. the men and women of the san francisco police department. we have confiscated a little over 1100 guns this year off the streets. [applause] >> reproduced gun -related homicides by 40 1% over this time last year. we produced homicides by 30 1%. [applause] >> give it a hands. >> that is just not the police department. that is the community. that is these people standing up here that care. that is these people who have made it their life's work because they've been impacted by it, and they don't want anyone else to be impacted by it. if you have a gun that you don't want in your house, turn it in. give it up. you get $100.

if it is an assault weapon, you get $200. and makes a difference. you can be a difference. not one more israel. in this city, we don't want to lose any other lives to gun violence. come and join us on saturday. be a part of making the city the safest city in this country. thank you. [applause] >> no questions asked. we have two more speakers than we will wrap it up. we want to bring a powerful mother from the brady campaign, and also mother is in charge. maddie scott. [applause] >> thank you united players and rudy. thank you to all of you for being here today. i lost my sun 22 years ago to gun violence in my neighborhood. he was the father of 12 to a beautiful young boys. the next day was my grandson's birthday. that was his birthday present that i had to tell him that his father was killed. i couldn't tell him he was shocked, i had to tell him his

father had died. i don't want another mother or grandmother or girlfriend, husband, or wife, or anyone to feel the pain that i have felt on that day and that i continue to feel. that pain wakes me up every day to do this work with people like united players, with chief scott to, with our mayor, and all of you in this room and the brady campaign. that pain motivates me to be here for a mother right now, and a grandmother who is at her grandson's funeral in oakland. that pain motivates me to go to the school to talk to young people who are angry and who are mad and who are hurting to talk about my neighbors does talk to my neighbors who are hurting and to come to a sensible solution so that they will not pick up a gun. we ask you to join us on saturday to get these guns off the streets. i have elderly family members and elderly neighbors who i am working with for united players

sometimes they show you what they want to. and you kind of expect that it's just going to be that. but it's never really what's on the surface. it's really what's underneath the surface . that's what i try to get at when i do my clay. the camaraderie that we have here. we have students that have been for for many many years. we have students here for the first time. we share our skills, our formulas. this is how we learn. how did you do that? let me show you. that's the attitude that the students and the teachers have here. it's a really wonderful nurturing place.
