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. .

and joining us, as his family. including his wife, anita, his mom, his daughter, thank you all so much for being here. it means a lot to have each and every one of you here to really honor and celebrate the work that the mayor did for san francisco. more than 30 years ago when he was a tenant attorney at the law caucus, and gordon, you remember that, there you go. he fought to preserve housing, especially affordable housing across the city. our community was faced with displacement of many low income seniors in the financial district at the time. i'm sorry. are we going to translate? okay. he was then representing what is now the chinatown community development centre who led the efforts to construct 14 single room occupancy units here at

2,899th avenue, to make sure that those seniors could be housed and some of them are still with us today. if it were not for his dedication and commitment to the community, who knows what would have happened. today we honor his legacy by preserving these affordable units as well as two units at 800 clement street next-door. protecting tenants and preserving existing affordable housing is critical to stabilizing folks who are part of the most vulnerable community the small sites acquisition program, which began under mayor lee in 2014, helps present --dash prevent displacement and eviction of low income tenants such as script are at risk properties just like the ones we are preserving today. to date, 27 buildings consisting of 200 units have been acquired by the city. that is more than 200

individuals protected. thirteen buildings with 138 units are in the pipeline. and 105 million of city funds have been committed. and most importantly, hundreds of lives of people have been stabilized where they have a safe, affordable place to call home. absolutely incredible and a wonderful testament to the work that he did for our city. yesterday, we also introduced the supplemental ordinance to appropriate 75 more million dollars to this effort. i am proud to have joined our district three supervisor in working to free up these funds to reappropriate bond money that just wasn't being used. by investing in our small sights program and others like this, we can preserve even more affordable housing units across the city and keep people in their home. i'm so grateful to norman fong

and the chinatown community development centre for bringing this to our attention and working with us for so many amazing projects including many that house so many of our seniors, the mayor's office of housing, supervisor viewer, and supervisor peskin, thank you so much for your work. i am grateful to the lee family and grateful to ed lee who devoted himself to this important work for decades. i am honored that today we aren't really celebrating what is equipment to the thing that he cared about. protecting and supporting all san franciscans in a way that allowed for a way to have a safe and incredible way to call home. i want to thank each and every one of you for joining us here today. [applause] [speaking foreign language]

[applause] >> thank you, mason. [speaking foreign language] with that, i will introduce the next speaker. the supervisor who represents this district. supervisor if you are -- supervisor you are -- hello everyone. hello. i am centrally fewer, the supervisor of district one. and today -- i am sandra lee fewer.

i'm the supervisor of district one. when i was first elected, they came to me and said we have a problem. we judge every time i met with him, i always brought this up. and every time he said to me, we have to do something. i will work on this. we have to do something. and i think today, he is looking down on us, and i think he is feeling really proud of the work that he has done. in his heart, and attorney, in his heart, always talking to him about this project against the human greed, and also the desire to keep this precious building in my neighborhood permanently affordable for these 14 tenants, but also the whole project that he had worked on for so long. i have a lot of thank you his. first, i would like to thank the mayor.

i would like to thank the east west bank. they have been such a strong partner. and also a great business along the business corridor in the richmond. but also to help with the findings of the purchase could be made. i want to thank the mayor's office of housing. thank you so much for helping us out with this. this is a second small sites acquisition on the west side. both of them in my district, and not to be the last. i would like to thank the mayor also. the management of this building is in good hands. very experienced. i want to thank my predecessor who first started this project a long time ago. a little bit about this building so i did not even know this is an s.r.o. i have lived in the richmond and i moved in a 1959 when i was two years old.

so i am 61 years old. you don't have to do the meth. i am 61 years old and i would go to hamburger haven all the time. when i was growing up as a teenager, the orange seats, they were it. i thought i will go to hamburger haven. and now i will nominate them as a legacy business. and i think that -- [applause] >> so this corridor door is so important. hamburger haven is an institution here on the fight on the tenants here. they have lived here for so long it is their home. and so close. this is exactly the kind of housing we should be building for seniors here. so close to shopping and so close to a chinese speaking community. really serving the tenants well. also not to mention, the rent-controlled units. as you know as we look at the

housing balance, we are losing rent-controlled units every day. we are trying to keep neighborhoods intact. when we have disruptions like this possibly we could have seen something crazy happened here. and my breakfast place gone. it was just heartbreaking. when we first had this conversation he said, okay. they want to 9 million. and i told that to the mayor and he said that's crazy. you will not get 9 million. this is a price of 5.5 million. i just want to thank you for doing a great deal and really being strong about it and

holding firm 5.5 million. great price. i know it sounds crazy but actually the value of it is immeasurable. i think we all know the history of this. i want to thank everyone today. i'm over the moon about this. i have worried about this ever since i've gotten into office. i have a girlfriend who lives down the block, and every time i go to her house, i feel anxiety. i would feel anxiety worried about what will be happening to these s.r.o. units. it is hard to sleep at night sometimes. i hope i can sleep really well tonight. it is time to celebrate but i really want to give a shout out to the collective effort to make this happen, and i am hoping that this is not going to be the only small cyclic acquisition as i said i am losing affordable

housing every single day. again, thank you, thank you, thank you. this is a gift of immeasurable, immeasurable -- i don't even know. i am overwhelmed. i feel like i can't even measure how valuable this is. permanently affordable can stay here and be my constituents for as long as you want and i want you. this is great. i want to introduce reverend fong from chinatown at c.d.c. thank you. [applause] >> breanna, tonya, anita, i told you. this is a big deal. this is one of the stories, little places, maybe too little to celebrate a big victory, and

a big thing that represents your dad, your husband, and life. this is it. i love ed because he has more heart than anything. ed has kept his heart. it was always with the residence there are 14 residents that live in our s.r.o. and there are two that are missing that our doctors. the people over there lived at the s.r.o. that was demolished. ed thought they were safer -- say for least 50 years. i will just say it. some greedy land owner wanted to convert it into market rate. i don't want to hide it. and saved the residence twice

and this is forever. i feel like her. it is a big deal. i don't know if you all get it, but i think this may or was really different. he rolled up his sleeves on that i know he helped garment workers that were arrested. so many people, the seniors, he left. i am glad there are people that are still here. she is 99 years old. she may not understand everything. anyway. i'm talking too long. i promise to keep it short. today is heaven on earth right here. a little corner. and we need to appreciate our mayor that fought like crazy, quietly, most of these little stories like this one haven't been told yet. there is a lot more. anyway, then we will hang out at hamburger haven i promise you

can call me personally. mayor breed, thank you. you can't win everything in life this is a little bit of heaven on earth. anyway. i would like to especially thank east-west who is contributing as well and we have emily wang here , francis chang, and sandra lau. [applause] of course, the small sites, you have to love that and build it up. that is for sure. i think preston is part of this.

preston, you can be humble and proud. and alvin low is always there. whether it is the hotel, this guy is a secret hero too. he is humble too. let celebrate humility, grace, hope, love, and all the things of this project represents an winning for once against gentrification and greed. okay. we want to hear directly from our residence. at this time, mrs. quan is going to say a few words. i'm not sure what she will say but she is 84 years old and has lived here over 20 years. she used to be a clothing tester and she is retired now. [applause] holly will translate.

[speaking foreign language] [laughter] [speaking foreign language]

[applause] >> my name -- i live in an

apartment two '03. i moved here since november 1995 i want to thank cece d.c. for the caring in the past 20 years. i'm truly grateful here is my honor to live here. i hope that see c.d.c., out the doors as a new owner can take care of us. [cheering] >> thank you. i would like to ask one of merely transient dollars to come up and say a few words on behalf of the family. [cheering] >> thank you so much for having us here today. i can't imagine a more fitting way to remember my dad and what he cared about and what he fought for while he was mayor. i know that my dad worked tirelessly, but he only works tirelessly because of the amazing people that he was

surrounded by. i know he was so inspired by all the work that everyone who fought for this was putting in and i think he really saw himself as a part of the team. that is a kind of person he was. so i wanted to thank you all for the work that you do to make this happen. it is so inspiring and i think on a day like today, i just want to take the hope and the hard work and take that moving forward. i hope everyone else does too. thank you so much for having us here. [applause] [speaking foreign language]

>> all right. this concludes our event for today. i want to thank all of you for being here and so many amazing people that made this happen. we are definitely going to be doing a lot more projects like this in san francisco. thank you again and have a wonderful day. [applause] >> my apartment burned down 1.5 years ago in noba. my name is leslie mccray, and i

am in outside beauty sales. i have lived in this neighborhood since august of this year. after my fire in my apartment and losing everything, the red cross gave us a list of agencies in the city to reach out to and find out about various programs that could help us get back on our feet, and i signed up for the below market rate program, got my certificate, and started applying and won the housing lottery. this particular building was brand-new, and really, this is the one that i wanted out of everything i applied for. and i came to the open house here, and there were literally hundreds of people looking at the building. and i -- in my mind, i was, like, how am i ever going to possibly win this? and i did. and when you get that notice that you want, it's surreal,

and you don't really believe it, and then it sinks in, yeah, i can have it, and i'm finally good to go; i can stay. my favorite thing about my home, although i miss the charm about the old victorian is everything is brand-new. it's beautiful. my kitchen is amazing. i've really started to enjoy cooking. i really love that we have a gym on-site. i work out four days a week, and it's beautiful working outlooking out over the courtyard that i get to look at. it was hard work to get to the other side, but it's well worth it. i'm super grateful to the mayor's office of housing for having this for us.

>> good afternoon. welcome to land
