>> you can begin. good morning i'm jerry dratlerdbi partially enforces the building code section deals with permit exploration plumbing autoexpire and pt s building permits do not. building permits could or should in pt s if they were processed there. this should happen. what can happen when building permits don't autoexpire in dds. unnecessary dbi field inspections. of expired permits. issuance of building permit

extensions to expire. and dbi finally expired building permits this is the section that out lines the time allowed for a building permit and number of days of extension allowed. permits with value of less than 100 thousand dollars have 360 days and can get a 360 day extension. a 35 thousand dollars foundation permit mccormick residence den improperly finaled 1, 210 days after issuance. hernandez to prove the foundation special inspections 1, 121 days after the permit issued. and inspector powers field inspector finaled the 760 days after expired this is one of the two 1600 lake street permits that autoexpired.

however, when you look at pt s the status shows issued. dbi issued remoss extension to the mccormick residents. 135 days after the permit was void. inspector sanders improved the rough framing 84 days after expired. why did dbi asign complaints? this is the permit dmaengz should not have been issued. note that there is no inspector approval. all right. this is the big one. mark o'farrell. dbi issued two 720 day extensions to permits with a value of less than 1 huh thousand dollars. the code limit is 360 days. the permits were void in 2023. dbi improperly filed the permits in september of 2024.

this is serious nonsense. this is the permit extension for his 10 thousand dollars grewing permit approved a day after the media story. this is the finaling the grew permit 620 days after the permit would have expired without improper extension. why did it? inspector nguyen final this is the other permit? thank you. thank you is there additional comment? yes. >> come forward.%0 >> um -- hello i'm fred zimmer from housing rights committee of san francisco. the hud housing out reach program, um that we

them so they can advocate for their health and safety. leading to improved conscience and hopefully ensuring that living conditions for the hud tenants will improve in the long-term and reinforcing right and habit at in housing. were this evening >> >> hello i'm becky. i'm the contract service director [inaudible]. just cause i'm here today part of the groups in s. housing rights committee san francisco receiving 200 thousand dollars put in the budget educate and out roach to tenants and hud buildings. many hud tenants in plaza east and west have reported chronic maintenance neglect including broken heating system. we are going into it is getting cold terimportant this people

kidnap further public comment?=rw- after this in person speakers there will be remote comment as well. over head, please. place your document and it will be shown.

is your document placed there?

this is staff meeting agenda i believe this was when o'riordan was chief. and i believe he wrote the sprinkler requirement 4 stories require sprinklers. of since last spoke about the failure of o'riordan and matt green for sprinklers in homes and failure to issue no very close. violation of the san francisco building code. this is a potential fatal life safety violation involved an development request an nov issued. i have been check the complaint tracking system and a few more complaints come in since i last spoke. i worked at dbi for 25 years.

code enforcement is very subjective the notice of to often [inaudible] refer to another division and another trick the old permitted research to show that dbi responded within 48 hours. hernandez is in management? when i was in code enforcement i became aware of the seniors and managed;nt review cases and decide who gets what for the tuesdays director's hearing outcome and penalties the connected contractors in the city family get the treatment and the contractors in the city family the sacrificial lambs. many times the nov flased in o'riordan's office this is

referred to as [inaudible] the connected city families and contractors. they were not face in the director heely's office. [speak very fast] reading very fast if the building burns down with insurance companies to blame could likely result in the lawsuit. if the result a criminal matter for gross next or turpitude

after documented in the bic. o'riordan's states the mayor appointed him to lead the department in november fifth, 2021 article. o'riordan states the -- stuff cannoty deleted from the computer. this is untrue. >> okay. i believe well is comment. >> good morning, commissioners [inaudible] with san francisco coalition. after [inaudible] [inaudible] revealed we were told that he was just about corruption uprooted and dbi would no longer have two sets of rules one for the rich and powerful and another for the rest of us. common residents of san francisco. [echo] business as usual may not

come to light. this time mark [inaudible] came to light he is running for mayor. that's how we found nothing [inaudible]. the presentation showed mark [inaudible] permits were extended by dbi. a few months ago. only after the story media. his permits were probably even expedite when he first rich and power person permits extended way past expiration date. this time. you can't blame it on bernie he is no long are there. as a resident in the city of san francisco who has witnessed skandzals. corruptions, wrong dooing at the highest level in the government. i'm asking you as commissioners special a body that over sees

the department of building inspection. are you going to do anything and had are you going to do? the computer system the software dbi is using has been promiseed us to be upgrade exclude make if transparent to see permits. that has not happened. years later. again, i'm turning to you commissioners to what are you going to do about the two set of system one for the rich and powerful and another for the ordinary people of this city? i reckon that if we are basically allowing rich to get permits extended past the date of expiration, we are nothing but the bananarepublic of san francisco. thank you. other commenter?

are you unmuted? i am can you hear me. >> yes. >> awesome. >> sorry i started speakil restart. i'm [inaudible] with the housing right's committee of san francisco. you heard from fred and others in the chamber the hutted building for san francisco in cries. my team has the honor of working in hud buildings [inaudible]. primarily if d 5 and 10 you know are black communities. the hudz code enforcement out reach program is important to ensure this hud residents get repairs they need to live in dignified housing. as you know many have buildings

and properties and horrible condition there have been neglect from owners and enept management that does not keep things up and neglect from other governmental aejzs hud and san francisco housing authority. and what we see is mold and [inaudible]. [inaudible]. . collapsed roofs. fred give your case of. and this is not it is prevalent in all the hud buildings. does not matter what type they are. a case is multigeneration family living in the bayview where a family of 5 three are disabled seniors have been living without a workrefrigerator heat and mold in walls. they had repeated asks to have this we paird and not repair third degree has been going on for three months another family is a single parent in the fillmore who lives with a sunken

floor in the living room. and has upon plumbing issues and no working appliance this is a few of them and when you ask why they have not report today or why they give up reporting it. the thread we see is we will tenants don't trust the city agency fist they are lead down and ignored for too long. what my team does is after building trust is our team come along to document and report the needed repairs. and that also stay with kids until we ensure the repairs have been done and they near a habitable living situation. our called it is clear and we think an easy choice is we ask that you advocate for the mayor to release that 200 thousand dollars left on the table.

it is going to be critical in ensuring we are able to maintain the staff on my team that is needed to continue to do this work. and without this work we do believe that the residents across hud buildings in san francisco will be living in deplorable conscience isolateed only folk this is live in hud buildings. thank you. i want to acknowledge that we really appreciate the support and the relationship and advocating to get this 10%. wrap it up. >> absolutely. i wanted say thank you we appreciate the [inaudible]. thank you very much. >> thank you. no further public comment and it is closed. >> can i do my disclosure. because of public comment it it is probably necessary butwanted to

modification. a look record. what about unlocked records. modifications are tracked by the department's management information system. how does the 48 hour inspection records look work? has the bic reviewed internal inspection records look policy? and who there revows the audit logs each month and signs off on the review? altering records in pt s is altering public records. why is it necessary to alter dbi records versus correcting the records? the practice of ridingent rows eliminates an audit trail. how many times are they altered this should be available from the implemented pt a correction log. and do nond bs departments alter

now we are on 5a. the -- i will read the order of the presentation. order of presentation at the hearing this is for the bic rules the appellate and the department will each have 70 minutes to present the department shall present first then the appellate legal be an opportunity for public comment after each will have 3 minutes for rebuttal. and also i will be resieth the oath. all giving testimony stand? and raise your right hand. do you wear the testimony you are about to give is the truth to the best of your knowledge in >> thank you.

you can come forth. all right. good morning president and vice president commissioners i'm chris rifwara compliance manager for dbi. given this is the first hearing for the client's control program i want to give context in our administration. there are 2 ways to get on the expanded compliance control list the first if you incure 3 violations within 18 months. the second if there is not three violations if a violation is a gregious and creates a risk to health. safety or property we could deem that person a candidate. today, we believe that the appellate qualified under the first of 3 or more violations within 18 months.

i think questions of law fighting violations the code is not an old violation it has to fall under 4 categories the first being one, misrep centation of existing conncification and review. work for demolition of features without or beyond the scope of a permit. throw, work under a permit performed without a license or for other compliance. violationsil discuss today all fall under other number two the structure ral work or demolition or number 4 other substantial noncompliance. violations occurred march 11 of 2022 through june 27, 2023. that is the 18 month period. i will go over the violations and why we believe the it will qualify. the first one was in 2037 shafter street o. march 11 of 22

we opened a complaint. based on field observation at demolition at the property. nov issued the same day and sited demolition beyond the scope of approved plans. 2 story demo approved plans show 2-4 to be saved. i don't think there is a question the appellate did perform the work on march 15th. a permit was filed to comply. the permit was approved on and issued on may 5 of twoochl and by february 8, 2023 the work completed a file conducted and the complaint was closed. argument regarding that was the permit was apermit approve the for this demolition. that may be true the permit was approved after the nov. and additional low the plans required the rear edi be

saved. there was a demo permit after the nov issued. there was no demo permit when he performed the work and it was beyond the skoecht approved plans that shafter street. next violation is 2039 shaft or march 14 of 22. we opened a complaint based on fields observation of construction work at the property. and nov issued. cited inspection excavation east and west lines beyond scopeful the property line below niche's footing removing lateral support. west side under pin neighbor's footing without approve vision permit not obtained for plan. the work was completed and completion conducted a cfc was issued. the complaint was closed. and i believe it is argument was that this is part of the unit

they are two separate first on 2037 shafter demolition of the existing 2 story and the second violation was in the front of the property at the property line. we considered it two violations. the we do -- believe that the 23 telephone are one building and likely one project. that he was working on. one 239 lower unit. and 2337 was abovement i want to point out legislation does not deficientiate between violations in the same property we administering base on the legislation.

if t determines that should be one we could make modifications to how we review and make change to the process but currently there is no nothing in the legislation that says two violations in one property should institute one we treated it as 2 separate ones. the next property is 1600 thomas. on october 21 2022 open based on a report of construction beyond scope. october 31 2022 the nov was issued. it cited the following. following a complaint and site visit the work has exceed beyond permit application 20221024521. two stair structures demoed and rebuilt with new configuration. both felonieses on lane and thomas have been demod and rebuilt to 6 feet height on

december second of 22 a permit application was fileed remedy the violation. that permit was approved and issued on march 23 of 23. and all the work was completed final by april 10 of 23 and thepd complaint was closed. so based on my reading of the appellate's prehearing saying he was not the contractor to create the structures and said they were already almost fully built by a priorzd contractor or owner and i was hireed resolve conflicts of interest. i cannot confirm or deny this is the first time we are aware that he did not perform the work. it was all started on housing inspection services they conducted a site inspection regarding an abatement. they issued nov and sought appellate on the property performing the work.

beyond the skoecht permit. existing permit acted was painting only. and doing all the other work on the fence and stairs and deck. the last violation is 352 hedge street that complaint opened in june 26 of 23. and nov cites the following the framing degun to hedge street and the ground floor framed. >> could you speak slower. >> i'm sorry for a moment. the time are has gone off would you like to hear the report? >> yes. would like to hear it. >> regular speech. >> with your -- all right. >> so -- three more minutes? yea. i think >> add three minutes. >> throw. >> i can wrap up in 3.

>> the last violation is 352 hedge street. i june of 23. we opened based on observation of construction work. the n v issued on june 27 the next day. it cited the following site visit on athlete 50 hedge reserved 352 hedge. the ground floor framed and second floor walls framed and stood up. approved plans have the walls the curtain walls adopt have the 5-8 sheet walk and [inaudible] walls not inspected. june 27 of 23 a with nov and issued on december 21 of 23. now, all work completed under the active permits on june 27 of 24. and final inspection performed and certificate of final completion issued on june 27 of

24. and the complaint was closed. first the complaint argues inspector only inspecting 350 hedge and not 352 hedge. dbi has the authority to site any benched code violation in the course of performing inspections. while he is out in the project and cease unsafe conscience. that should not be a valid argument. also argues this he believed nov was improper because they were not done with the construction of the walls. so. the plywood sheeting walls at the first and second floors were framed without dbi inspections to determine if it was installed correct low. dbi did not have the opportunity to inspect the blind wall. even the appellate was not done with the work with the construction wall dbi needed an

inspection before he raise today up to maken code compliance. he raised the walls before there was an inspection to verify conditions. we believe the fact that he was not done is not valid at all. seconded the last argument makes is the inspector did not know they were obtaining the sprinkler permit from the fire department because of the permit it was not required for the time x walls. the permit originally approved required both sprinkler permit and the 5-8 sheet rock. regardless of the opponent getting the sprinkler permit the plans called for 5-8 inch sheet rock. appellate was required to construct according to the approve plan we believe it is i violation and request that commission uphold the notice of determination there are 3 virlagzs within 18 month period.

>> thank you. we can gift appellate 10 minutes as well. appellate can come forward and president stated for the record we will allow you 10 minutes of time to have equal time as the ophone. >> >> i like to say that the bic thinks this person is not the witness at the time during this i known he does not know anything he was rigged for wrote in there. and this is my presentation is fact. i have been tried to do this several times. and first i go one one. i'm respect here [inaudible] nov

issue on november 10 this says march 11. have been nit pick m career i will nit pick each one here first of all -- [inaudible] and the second is -- when i sept workjx 1237 shafter the client numerous -- nov. and i reluctant to take the work the reason they have so many things there. the client is have a friend of mine and insist me to help him because i understand the stem how it works in dbi. and i knew everyone here but accept this person that just

now. thank you. >> you can have a seat. i more on this everything is wrong. everything is wrong accusation. severing not i have 3 more minutes i can summarize and wrap it up. i detailed everything here. you will have -- am um, so i can't give 10 minutes per permit or violation. i think that is i have 403 violation here. we given the expanded one we will hear from the department you will have a chance to rebut and what is the rebuttal time. it is 3 minutes. because we are. i can conclude in 3 minutes we'll hear from the department rebuttal to yourq arguments and you will have let's do 5 minutes and 5 minute there is is a lot here i want to hear from the department and the appellate.

do 5 and 5. youville we'll hear from the department now and you will have another 5 more minutes to respond to his the department's rebuttal. you can have a seat and called up again to my 5 more minutes. >> this is public comment. procedural public comment is there public comment on agenda item 5? any in person is this or remote? none either and to say you are attending remote press star 3. okay. no members. there is no public comment. staff rebuttal and there will be 5 minutes allowed for each side. department can come forward. >> appellates i'm not inspector

i will defer rebuttal to kevin and technical questions regarding nov. >> good upon afternoon and members i want to n the plans it did show the foundation to be building at the back, remutual foundation excavate the building not to be raised. showed on the approved plans the foundation was to be removed. and instead the entire structure was demoed completely that is why that 1237 violation was written. straightforward the entire building and noted on several stairs to be remain. 1239 the under mining on the east and west. again a shoring permit obtained shoring installed when the

rbispecter got is there it was excavated below neighboring properties. as soon as contractor noticed that exceeding below the property he should have stopped and got the plans reengineered could have done it in sections and chose not to dug out foundation on both sides leaving the structure vulnerable. he replaced sections in the neighboring propertiful he did not have a permit for that you cannot just randomly go do work in the report next door could have obtained a addressing the properties adjacent to his own so he had their per notification do work on their property. foundation heave under mining was a very shallow foundation concrete capping on top of brick not a stable foundation. this is why we considered this a pretty dangerous situation. you know left both properties and middle vulnerable.

did address 350 and 352 properties. saying that you know he stood up the wall and did not factor frame the grounds floor with joyces and interior walls would be impossible to lay them down from inspection. these are they were noted on the approved set to be an hour walls to protect the property from both sides and the -- our inspector was there, it is hard to miss an entire building half framed. we caught him. he did lay down the walls that were framed on the second floor to install the fire rock. again it was pretty clearly noted one hour walls protects an assembly there might have been sprinklers in 352 if a fire 350 would have spread and compromised the structure athlt as well as plywood walls never lateral supports we consider this a serious

violation. 1600 thomas we referred by housing inspector who was on site. knew tad was doing the work and refer today to us. it is clear that while he was did not have a permit to replace the stairs these we e egress for the building at the back. no idea if they were sound. >> his saying i was not a contractor is not really an excuse. we believe he did perform the work as he was he did have a permit for other work on the property. if you have questions? >> yea ask the end during dlksz.

thank you. appellate, it is your time have you 5 minutes. this is your rebuttal time. >> [inaudible] when the it was the east and west was vulnerable. excuse me he was not there. [inaudible]. when the building raised the builder the moving company raising company have a structural the full house go upqi 100% secure. we paid him for doing that. that is not vulnerable that is one key word. they try to use big word so they get me to defending it it is not true. second thing is go back to [inaudible] i mean -- the

>> thank you for your comments issuesir. >> okay. we will get deliberation. by the way, i would not do all this because they will try to put me in the a cc list i never know anything about a cc list until i got a letter from them and explained to there. i don't knoween now i don't know yet list were and put me under. or with the person criminal low.

mr. nguyen you said a few times you accused the department of issuing the noise of violation they don't like you or ther is personal issue what is the basis of that accusation. >> this is somebody were told me that. okay. i work with they know me well and told me that one more thing they told me that the told you about permits here.

were approved before f -- department [inaudible]. so when the fire department approve. they did not read it. try it is answer the commissioner's question. >> i answered the question. >> okay.

>> you done >> other questions? i have a few questions if you want it stay. you state for several of the permits notices of violation issued before you starred work did you have evidence to support that claim? i do becau of contracts the owner told me that. do you have to present evidence to present. >> this is before me. >> right i take over. yes >> an example a contract that was for like a defined scope and not the work you are confidenceng done incorrect low do you have evidence or anything to support that asertion? my [inaudible] the violation they do [inaudible].

they create a living space in ill let height. and they using the room for bedroom without window. and all the minors nov that's yet owner prepare to have house renovated. the nov issue before no long are valid. if you correct this -- project that i am about to take over that is what is -- so they knew that and i thought i did them a favor for correct all this thing toyou don't have anything to demonstrate. >> no. this is before me. i planned did not have -- take any of that for me. >> right. you go back to the building you

see it. do you have a contract with the owner of the properties. i have a contract with owner after to correct the with the approved plan. for one house and request 2 perimism so within this contract du document the work previously done that you claim not to be responsible for? no , i did not because the plan is approved. does not matter what is wrong before i rebuilted thing over only thing i did not -- know i did not know the building had no footing. that's all. that i corrected it. can i ask one more question on hedge street. is there relation to the owner? me? >> yea. >> yes we are related.

>> okay. >> what is that religion? do i have to tell you? >> she hire mow to dot work, yes. any further questions of the appellate or department? i had a question to the department. thank you. the nov's were -- filed and they were resolved quickly. upon the -- given the information i have been given will isa0utes the

violation of the e cc list not that they were resolved. yea. we base it on the qualifying factors work or demolition of features beyond the scope or without a permit and other noncompliance. we don't believe. all nov's need to be rem dees. we applied that is taken care of. it would defeat the purpose of the ecc everyone says we'll fix it. if you enkershaw 3 or more within 18 months they are trying to protect the public froms this incure nov's this is adding another layer of review of oversight on the contractors on permits they foil in the next 5 years.

we consider the severity of the violation and roast contractor. what does it mean when someone is placed on it. is it being this they individual low get placed their firms and future ownership by percentage can you tell when you say it means to be placed on the list? how that e volved over the 5 years on the list. jot first step being placed on the list the name the everwoulding in the record listed on the permit. who performed the work that will be on the website.

it is wired by the legislation and a number of measures we have to do if nay are placed on the list. one being we have to refer them to a licensing agency. and produce the staff report in our finding to the licensing agency. next additional review of any applications. 1-6 all of these that would need to be completed if placed on the list it is on going for 5 years, any permit they file will be extra oversight and review of the work. how do you deal with people who may open a different business and a minority ownership of this. if -- we -- i guess i can turn it to kevin? when i know is based on we would dot search we maintain a log according to the legislation. the log is a list of all

violations and do a cross reference with any entity associated with this permit or work. then they would be included in the list. and any time contractor license number pops up it will be flagged for review. i have a question more general being this is our first time hearing one of these. so, clearly these were items that required plan review and sign off which means that there were architects and engineers involved. it is outside of the per view of dbi and is efforts to look who the architect of record is the engineer or this is within dbi engineer record is and looking

at those with the sorts of things? with this track log we'll look at anyone associated the owner. engineer contractor and any entity in that mrakzp application we see who is performing the work. i don't know if there is correlation with planning. a comment/question. a point this i'm thinking b. he is being put on a list with basic straight up criminals. i'm having this is a career

could be career ending decisions. that we are look at here and i want to be confident this -- everything dbi has done and the questions brought up now, i mean, have we remedied everything and -- i guess that is my question it is a big thing i want to feel confidence that every and every issue that he brings up was talked through -- was there a slight margin that could have been looked at or. >> i think so. when we make a -- initial evidence we review that log every month. we have a discussion and say does this candidate deserve to be on the list. and if there is consensus we

send a note ifkdz which we sent to mr. nguyen is there evidence or anything that you could give us any we consideration. and they did have a discussion in that regard and there was still dispute we are limited biwhat the legislation says. if it says 3 or more violations the intent to protect -- the legislation should be clear if there is anything else we can consider like if 2 violations in the same project then should be out lines on that to consider. we should treat that as one project. or and the only other thing that came was the 1600 property he did not perform the work no way

to verify that. we know when we were out there he wasenda the scope of the permit he was the contractor for. we tried to consider everything the appellate provides us but as of today based on our review we are limited hat legislation says and 3 violations in 18 months that's why we made nanotice of determination. i'm not what else we can do. they are substarve nov's this deserve to be warrantied in the a cc list.

we take it seriously here we did not have any. one last comment. say that we are on our second nov. is there a head's up begin to a contractor knowing we are watching you or just 3. and he was at planning and he got e mail when he was notified trying to correct the nov. after two is there a flag so the contractorness or we are lurking in wait to do one more to nail you? or say here is the new law and you are could be landing on it.

no. there is no preletter you incurred 2 it is a rolling list in 18 months it and if we say, you get notice of violation and a notice the contractor is wear of it. no communication you got two violations and potentially placed on the list no letter goes out. >> thank you. all right. the question about the legislation i read related listing the name on the website -- i read the measures under statute 103a if i'm

correct. 6 measures there i don't see anywhere where listing of the of the -- person name on the list needs to be on the website. so unless i'm mistaken. that i don't know. i understands i think i understand the purpose of putting listing the names on the website. is tht basis for it or another ground for it. >> i believe if you electric at 103 a.6.3.2 subdivision 5. these were corrected after caught. so if this individual was not

caught there could have been very unsafe conscience that were allowed to occur. i for one if i were living next door to you know -- 1239 would be upset to find my home was compromised. and -- i mean when we are looking at 350 hedge street. if walls were allowed go up not fire rated and a fire at that property. not only would that house be in trouble but the surrounding homes in trouble as well. and so -- i think it important that we realize i understand that -- this is someone's live lihood but health and safety of the community at and this is an individual that did correct the issues but upon being caught. if you were not these have been proper work have

properly completed? were other projects the person has worked on that we did not catch or were able to look at have the nov's. i don't know. violations in the state that you have to call in one of the 4 categories this are serious and if someone a develop and builds buildings and responsible for the life sxf safety of the people there, this is serious. this is you know like these are wordos a page and people's lives that are put at risk as well as someone's live lihood. i think the department has done a lot of work. erdo agree that a flag warning to say, you are at strike 2.

may be manage we want to consider. commissioner nuemann i'm with you. i -- agree. i think thus far i have not heard evidence or reason to wave the department did not issue notices correctly. as far as direct your attention or why i think -- mr. nguyen would be a good candidate for this is more of mr. nguyen stated you know -- he expressed

frustration with the lack of communicationor working together with the d. legislation and come mroinlt control list means you will have to community with the department. that will not longer be a reason for further notices to be issued. that is my position on it. i agree with commissioners nuemann and williams. and hearing the -- mr. wern's testimony. i don't know that he understands the severity of some of the result of the actions.

and so -- it seems like -- because of the severity of the issues and how it could affect the public safety and of the neighbors, i agree he would be a good candidate for the list. i think the oh i didn't know about this is not -- i don't think this is a good enough reason to -- let these types of notices pass. i agree. i wish department got this to us sooner this is very serious. i only had the first excavation

and demolition i would say this is a gregeous to put some on the compliance list i would not require 3. issue diligent and bri(ñng them to us. and as a san francisco in the city. i feel for the people who are hiring and using substandard materials for the people rendz and living not knowing that their house suggest up to code. code is not a suggestion. they don't hundreds outor license this is is in the information the code should not have been a surprise to anybody work nothing housing and construction. this is alling in the housing code the code if not clear you have your job to find the answer and whandz you are doing before the work is done.

on season00 avenue we have building code violations and osea ordered it removed. workers are also in danger. this is -- we are not putting anybody out of business but this is -- to commissioner williams point, this is a mandate to work with the department to not let this happen again. i would like to see i believe within the intent of the legislation to follow future companies a person on the list applied for. i would like the department to explore following people -- outside of the entity this

performed this work. we should know who the architects are for these projects. and for a project that he worked of one other comment i feel this issue machine it san francisco contractors taking over work previously done i hope this program encourages people do jill jens befohere t understanding the scope doneful to prelent the issues in the future as well. i'd like to make a motion to

rejekts appeal and place this individual on the compliance and control list. there is a motion is there a second? >> second. >> so there is a motion by president alexander-tut and a second by commissioner nuemann. and i will dot roll call vote. >> president alexander-tut. >> yes. >> vice president shaddix. >> yes. >> commissioner meng. >> yes. >> commissioner nuemann. >> yes. >> and commissioner williams. >> yes. >> motion carries unanimously. thank you. we are down to item 6. >> so according to the rules the commission must make a written determination within 90 days so i will work with the commission secretary.

>> okay. thank you i will work with you on that. item 6 questions and matters. 6a inquires to staff may make inquires documents practices and procedures of interest to the commission and b future meeting and gentlemaneds the commission may discuss and take action to set the date of special meeting and determine items place on the agenda of the next meeting and future meetings of building inspection. >> is there inquiries or future items? ir would like to request that services we look at resolution not time to

insfekz. time resolution. okay. commissioner williams? i have two future agenda items i would like to propose for december. first you know a few months ago i mentioned that we should have i don't know a meeting on the [inaudible] and cbo's. what i envision for that agenda item would be a report from the department giving over view of the program. from the department's perspective. and position the department has related to the performance of the of programs or the funding or anything else thereof. and the second agenda item i think -- i would can we got that

few public comments on it about the mark o'farrell permit extensions and theres an accusation that the department improperly issued extensions. for the department to respond to that if it is -- just you know what happened there? if the accusation is true or not tr to do about it. so. i guess tell be two sepa motions and delineate first if right? >> and can we go on? these are just our future agenda items and inquiries to staff. one is inquire tow staff regarding mark fairel situation and the other an agenda item but not sure it can be done for anymore. it is depending whether we have appeals or not. >> i would like to if okay i would like to have a written

response from the department by november first. regarding the accusations from mark fairel to the commission. that should give time and an extension required let me know i think that -- and -- yea. so much i think that is -- sorry, i next month is the shortened general meeting or december? we have two kinds of -- has not been published but i can't remember what is public. the november is the limited bit meeting with legislation and accepting written reports.

and at the what month. october the september meeting we gave month extension to the appellates to for their eccl response to try to stip lit facts. keep are expecting them in december.udible]. so -- i think we can all work -- off line to find a january or december -- placement. i proposed december i thought it was available i forgot. okay. >> nothing agendized just statement of facts that -- and thinking. >> thank you. and also the november meeting

murals graffiti store opening. store closing. the bakery. i shoot anything and everything in chinatown. i shoot daily life. i'm a crazy animal. i'm shooting for fun. that's what i love. >> i'm frank jane. i'm a community photographer for the last i think about 20 years. i joined the chinese historical society. it was a way i could practice my society and i can give the community memories.

i've been practicing and get to know everybody and everybody knew me pretty much documenting the history i don't just shoot events. i'm telling a story in whatever photos that i post on facebook it's just like being there from front to end, i do a good job and i take hundreds and hundreds of photos. and i was specializing in chinese american history. i want to cover what's happening in chinatown. what's happening in my community. i shoot a lot of government officials. i probably have thousands of photos of mayor lee and all the dignitaries. but they treat me like one of the family members because they see me all the time. they appreciate me. even the local cops the firemen, you know i feel at

home. i was born in chinese hospital 1954. we grew up dirt poor. our family was lucky to grew up. when i was in junior high, i had a degree in hotel management restaurant. i was working in the restaurant business for probably about 15 years. i started when i was 12 years old. when i got married, my wife had an import business. i figured, the restaurant business i got tired of it. i said come work for the family business. i said okay. it's going to be interesting and so interesting i lasted for 30 years. i'm married i have one daughter. she's a registered nurse. she lives in los angeles now. and two grandsons.

we have fun. i got into photography when i was in and high school. shooting cameras. the black and white days i was able to process my own film. i wasn't really that good because you know color film and processing was expensive and i kind of left it alone for about 30 years. i was doing product photography for advertising. and kind of got back into it. everybody said oh, digital photography, the year 2000. it was a ghost town in chinatown. i figured it's time to shoot chinatown store front nobody. everybody on grand avenue. there was not a soul out walking around chinatown.

a new asia restaurant it used to be the biggest restaurant in chinatown. it can hold about a 1,000 people and i had been shooting events there for many years. it turned into a supermarket. and i got in. i shot the supermarket. you know and its transformation. even the owner of the restaurant the restaurant it's 50 years old. i said yeah. it looks awful. history. because i'm shooting history. and it's impressive because it's history because you can't repeat. it's gone it's gone. >> you stick with her, she'll teach you everything. >> cellphone photography that's going to be the

generation. i think cellphones in the next two, three years, the big cameras are obsolete already. mirrorless camera is going to take over market and the cellphone is going to be better. but nobody's going to archive it. nobody's going to keep good history. everybody's going to take snapshots, but nobody's going to catalog. they don't care. >> i want to see you. >> it's not a keepsake. there's no mem it. everybody's sticking in the cloud. they lose it who cares. but, you know i care. >> last september of 2020 i had a minor stroke and my

daughter caught it)d÷< on zoom. i was having a zoom call for my grand kids. and my daughter and my these little kids said hey you sound strange. yeah. i said i'm not able to speak properly. they said what happened. my wife was taking a nap and my daughter, she called home and said he's having a stroke. get him to the hospital. five minutes later, you ow, the ambulance came and took me away and i was at i.c.u. for four days. i have hundreds of messages wishing me get well soon. everybody wished that i'm okay and back to normal. you know i was up and kicking

two weeks after my hospital stay. it was a wake-up call. i needed to get my life in order and try to organize things especially organize my photos. >> probably took two million photos in the last 20 years. i want to donate to an organization that's going to use it.oing it from the heart. i enjoy doing it to give back to the community. that's the most important. give back to the community. >> it's a lot for community. >> i was a born hustler. i'm too busy to slow down. i love what i'm doing. i love to be busy. i go nuts when i'm not doing anything. i'm 67 this year.

i figured retire. i'm wishing to train a couple for photographers to take over my place. the younger generation they have a passion, to document history because it's going to be forgotten in ten years, 20 years, maybe i will be couple years but i want to be1o remembered for my work and, you know photographs will be a remembrance. i'm frank jane. i'm a community photographer. this is my story. >> when you're not looking,

frank's there. he'll snap that and then he'll send me an e-mail or two and the best. >> these are all my p >> my name is andrew england the owner and collector at real old paper. i'm a native to the bay areaismt grew up in oakland, spent high school years here and lived in hawaii about 10 years. moved back shortly. been in san francisco proper now for about 8 years. when i realized i wasn't a

dealer anymore in san francisco, i found openings and decided to opening my own store in north beach in 2016. north beach was a great place to start. i got a neighborhood feel from it. i got involved in the community, but as far as business turnover, fisherman's wharf is 2 fold, 3 fold because there are so many more people here. we have been here going on 3 and a half years. i started as a hobbyist. i started collecting movie posters in high school. not originals. just favorite. when i mouved to hawaii there was a gallery that specialized in viptage posters and that taught me about the variables beyond movies and that is where this is my career path and what iment to do. i with irked for them for 8 years, took a portion of pay in store credit so i

built a collection basically and turned it into a brz. business. hobby turns business and forch int. i got bitten by the poster bug it spiraled control and i needed to a store to outlet my collection. san francisco has always had a viptage poster dating with 1970 with chicago new york and paris san francisco city with a area to buy vintage so people appreciate the time capsule and history. all are vintage. most in the store is at least 40 plus years old, some back to the 1800s so we have some 140 years old. they advertisement,b war propaganda from world war 1 and 2. movie and with travel posters and alcohol and tobaccos. thin pieces of paper meant to last maybe a mujt or 6 weeks. the lowest point was the pandemic.

having to close the gallery so i didsant have a web store biltd or outlet and barely a instagram and told all the customers 'ton line. can't be sure they are authentic or true colors or size or condition. it was very frustrating. it was a struggle until this opportunity presented itself and when i moved into this location on the wharf, there was still nobody here yet. we hadn't officially reopened but i rolled the dice, spent everything i had left to build this place out, and give it one last shot. it worked out very well. it worked out very well. >> here we have the 1971 for the fight. ali and frazier first meeting. the one first professional loss. there is a lot and understand the esthetic and message and nuances within the graphic. the champagne [indiscernible] wonderful piece. it carries both styles.

it has the [indiscernible] in his garb. he has shoes and fits earlier periods, but done in the style of art deco and that is what we offer and part of the experience knhing into the store. we will walk through the purchase and explain how we preserved it, what are the imperfections and what does the imagery mean. you have the older story and the newer story, pasted over the top. we will give you all that information. everything. it may not be your favorite piece until you heard the story. i are think i always had in the back of my mind a second location outside the state. i dream is tokyo, but i do a lot of consulting in las vegas with pon stars group so thought about opening a shop in las vegas. we like to branch out at some point. we are from here and where the company started and where we'll stay, we may just also open another store. i love being here. this is where my family is, this is where i was raised and not

executive director of hol hol city farmers market. i've been with the market for about 12 years this. market was started in 1991 by a couple of people that knew this was a food desert, there is a lot of liquor stores, and there was a need to be able to buy fresh food. we have a two-part mission. first part is to support small and medium size farmers. the founders had the foresight to put the farmers in charge. most markets are run by associations that make the decisions for the farmers. our farmers make the decisions for the markets and it's very unique to us. the second part is make produce affordable to the people that live in the community and this community as you know is one of the lower income communities in san francisco.

you'll find that some of our farmers will sell their produce here than they do at markets that they go to. it's special and the neighborhood needs that so much because we provide that service for them. i think rewarding part for me is when i started the market i start today do out reach in the community to try to convince them to eat healthier and visit our farmers market. i would go to the sros and give talks. some of the people that i initially spoke to, i got them to come to the market and i still see them today and it always warms my heart when i feel thati have done some good and affected some other people's lives positively. there is nothing more than reward than that. i want to thank city hall to produce food and join our market. this is a city for every one. we should treat each other with kindness and empathy and all of

those great things. there is plenty of love, plenty of resource to see go around. come enjoy downtown. hi. good afternoon everyone. thank you. that's right. thank
