if unknown often times, dpw will go and an abate it because they want to make sure it's abated in a timely manner. supervisor scott weiner: when dpw an abates the graffiti is it billed to the owner? >> currently for the other utilities i don't know. for at&t we did look into that. we are developing a process now where we do invoice. the reason why we have not done that is with specific guidelines at&t does have a special coding on boxes and they have special requirements for dpw to mitigate the graffiti. because of that 48-hour turn around, dpw is going to paint it and we couldn't implement that invoice ing of that nature. supervisor scott weiner: in your experience so far has at&t been an abating within 48 hours? >> i would say that at&t is being challenged and the constituents would very much say that at&t is not abating graffiti within the time that it's expected. i have heard multiple multiple objections where it takes months and sometimes not at all and many times i hear how dpw have to go out and an abate it. >> if you hear that it's taken months, what happens next? >> what we first

at the end of the hearing they do go and abate it and make sure the sticker is. that's after the fact that these object ors. supervisor scott weiner: it shouldn't take a hearing. it should be automatic. what i would say, i'm glad to hear that so dpw is working with at&t. it seems to me which is the goal to get the graffiti off quickly. so if dpw then understanding that there are certain needs of these boxes in terms of the way it's removed; is dpw learning to do this? >> certainly. we are understanding what kind of cleaners are allowed to be placed on the cabinets so the paint is not compromised. supervisor scott weiner: how does it work? don't they leave a deposit? speaker: yes. they have a $23,000 bond with at&t and we'll probably invoice them similar to the way we invoice permits. >> it's drawn on the account? >> yes. supervisor scott weiner: okay. in the end for members of the public, it doesn't matter who is removing it as long as it's being removed. a question and then i will turn it over to supervisor kim. what is the permit, we get loose -- a lot of quest

all the utility boxes in public right-of-way we abate. >> we abate calls that come within 48 hours. >> we are a small group in g f graffiti. we don't have enough help. >> i have a group in town down and china town and the north tunnel. [inaudible] the graffiti we abate everything is coming up to the areas now. >> i'm willing to take it on. i think -- >> you are telling me you are ready for this? >> i think so. >> okay. >> there you go. >> all right. >> all right. >> ready to do it. let's go. >> want to get the gray signses this over here and the garbage can and normally we don't do private property since it's on the corridor route you can come with me we will use black. >> we had a lot of changes in the graffiti unit. we do private property if someone moved we remove it and send it to the attorney's office and they take appropriate action. >> damage their property there. it's important to write the color in case they want to say what part of our house you abated the graffiti on. >> using your safety glasses the gloves. >> you got it. >> you know some places we gashi, people appreciate

that without geoengineering we will get abatement. but with geoengineering we don't your. [inaudible] so i'm wondering in what kind of area do we -- [inaudible] but then the political will disappears just because we did a bit of geoengineering? could you clarify a bit on what are the conditions under which geoengineering is significant enough -- provided we have political will to do some abatement? >> just say that again. >> so what he was using is your concern is that geoengineering -- abatement. but to get to abatement in the first place, the world has to change a lot. do you believe the steps -- [inaudible] >> well, if one is deeply skeptical as i am about geoengineering, in particular the kind you engineering so we can do about today there are other benign forms of geoengineering we haven't really talked about, although there is the discussion of carbon capture. people like me who are deeply skeptical, in a way it is an obligation on us to pursue more vigorously plan a. and that's what i do, you know, among other things, to try to

play where the roll you may be take as the san francisco building inspection can come back to the abatement appeal board for enforcement type of acts is that trigger that process. i urge, you know, caution in that regard because you don't want to do anything as this san francisco building inspection that my undermine the abatement appeal board if a project comes before you >> commissioner walker i'd be interested in hearing hearing our comments. >> yes. it's a fine line but of most importance there are several investigations going on and until those are complete and we have the reports before us it's inappropriate for us to to do anything other than taking any public comment? i want to know that the property is safe. there's the issue of the permitting etc., but this was a building that fell so i guess we may want to know with things are secure on that property there's not going to be anymore - >> if i may there is any public comment? here let's take that and circle back on this issue. is there any other commissioners. commissioner mar >> i know the department, you know, is working very har

when we get it, i'm very happy are the track record of abating graffiti. supervisor jane kim: my fault to that is we even heard already with the hearing today it can take two months to clean up the graffiti. i'm curious what the obstacles were? >> i know anecdotally people have come to a hearing and said that, but i don't know that it has taken two months to clean up. if someone would share that, i don't know that to be true. supervisor jane kim: for the ones that do get regularly tagged, i think it would be a good idea to put it on routine maintenance because it helps save a lot of the energy with the constituents that are frustrated with that process. if you already know there is a track record on that. my last question was regarding when dpw does disapprove a permit. i'm curious to what your thinking was in appealing those decisions. i know the relationship with the city is just as important and for us we wanted at least some level of oversight around the process. of course the boxes are going through and they are in boxes that are really important i th

or the lack of abatement in a timely manner. the next page, there is more graffiti. more graffiti. here is another one ballard's place. the foot print shown on the notice. it's on the cabinet. it extends out to 11 feet. it can block an entire car. cabinets can create a wall especially if there is other street furniture. supervisor scott weiner: supervisor cohen? supervisor malia cohen: what's the purpose of the ballard? >> to protect it if it were to jump the curb and just in general to protect it. there is sensitive electronic equipment inside. supervisor malia cohen: i don't know the difference between the cabinets? >> all these cabinets are at&t cabinets. >> do they usually put ballards around them? >> the new ones. another consistent concern is trash and blight. we are not sure why people tend to place their trash on cabinets but that's a real persistent issue. finally it looks well but i think there has been a lot of concern about the at&t technicians for thing forgetting to clean up after themselves. it's already difficult to property owners to see the technicians leave. >> w
