>> ca care to address lead abatement mr. duffey. >> no (laughter). >> nice offer. >> you were shaking your head. >> the permit that get through dbi and for the demolition obviously and it seems to be approved properly by dbi. we did get a complaint about the demolition and the district building inspector went out there already destroyed part of the structure so we get a complaint on july 1st and in july the building inspector made an inspectors and at the time there was no one working at the site. it he said it was a directors hearing scheduled for august. he didn't see anything but he may have been there earlier and by the time we get there they're gone. the complaint is still open but he didn't see any demolition that was hard to see so. okay >> i've got one question mr. duffey if this would have been a typical homeowner and the work this work has been done who what would be the departments 0 position this far. >> the work as in lead abatement work or demolition work. >> demolition. >> when you define demolition without a

a couple of things and my last comment is about this sensible abatement their abatement consultants that put together abatement documents throughout san francisco and i quote this is your response not a typical abatement practice to bush hammer out lead. and i even i'm going to stop there are and on a historic and design standpoint the women's toilet opens up under the poach it's not a good design. i hope you keep the existing building >> tennis courts are not designed a quarter inch per you court. >> you only have to feature feather out he 10 to 14 feet not on the court. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi thank you for your time i'm a neighbor i live in the house or i own the how is it is directly adjacent to the restrooms i sent a lbe letter on december 10th i hope you received that outlines why i think this should be the exposition permit should be denied. the restroom structure was constructed by the progress administration and we recognize that. the historic review that should have occurred prior to the permit being issued was done in a curry way. i was interested in renovati

the department spent $300,000 last year to abate graffiti in san francisco parks. it's more than the parks, it's just sightfully painful for our staff to work as hard as we can to keep our parks beautiful. and to come in almost every morning to find our most beautiful and precious assets tagged with spray paint. whether a playground, a tree or building or ball field, it just stinks. and to put that amount of money, that amount of cost into perspective. that $300,000, is equivalent of more than three arborists to maintain the health of our trees. we don't have enough arborists to touch our trees once every 300 years, we could invest in more officers to help keep our parks safe. or it's worth four additional swim instructors to help meet that demand. there are just better uses for money than cleaning up after other people's bad behavior. we appreciate this board's effort to give us another tool in the tool box to take this on. >> thank you, next speaker, officer herrera from the san francisco police department. >> good morning, supervisor, i have been an officer for

because of the lead abatement.he tiles that were removed were not the evidence for lead and the floor remains intact. most of the lead is in the waistline joint that are still there. rec and park also states the structure is unseen from the street it's clearly visible from 30th avenue dollars the street on 30th avenue and that's 31st and that is one from 30th and another 1 from 31st avenue. they also state that the new design is comparable with the neighborhood and it's on this map here. 45 e tim frye percent of the buildings in this area was built before the structure. it's rare to have an area with all the houses are individual and their structure is not capable with that. the dpa built thirty structures on parkland even though their involved with the parks project. rec and park recently destroyed the convenience center at rossi and larson. dollars only a handful left. please don't let the end of this structure justify the means by which rec and park went about this project. thank you >> thank you. we, hear from

students show up enmass in their academy art vests abating graffiti, cleaning community gardens, sweeping and cleaning up litter on the streets, as well as i also initiated the partnership with dpw for the community watch program. again, this is probably 7 years ago, and our kappa sigma fraternity are the ones that have taken the leadership for 16 city blocks, cleaning, abating graffiti and public properties, 17 times a year. that's twice a month, every other weekend when school is in session. as far as my seat in the graffiti advisory board when i took over in 2008 i was the chair of the education subcommittee and we have worked in conjunction with the then school superintendent collins garcia in creating best practices so we can reach out to these kids while they are young so we can teach them to respect other people's property. because really the difference between people, it's kind of controversial because san francisco is an art city and when you hear about graph grf people graffiti people think of it as art but the difference between art and vandalism is permission. so we wanted to

order of abatement was issued and we thought that was great. and nothing had changed. instead they sold the house for $1.2 million. they're investors, and they wanted to take their money and pass this on to the next buyer. that's when we went back with sunny moon and repeal the process. here we are today. they've agreed to remove the deck, however the grade is materially changed, the height of the deck is a lot higher than it should be so we're asking for your support on up holding the appeal. and also, you know, i think there should be fines and penalties for the developers and investor who is are trying to flip this property and pass this on because that's all their care about is money. that's the best way to send the message that this is not okay. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker please. >> i'm a little nervous. i'm sunny's tenant. if i could use the overhead, please. going up the /stpaeurs to the deck would be able to look directly into my living room window. anyone standing on the deck would be able to look directly into my bedroom window. i've lived in this

and this kind of graffiti abatement takes a community approach as well and she's been a great mentor to all the students and to get them engaged, as you recognize the academy of art university has a lot of international students, it's important to get them engaged to really understand how our country works and the importance of community involvement, also reaching out to the younger students to have respect of other people's property and also to reach out to those students who might think of art as a career. i hope you give due consideration, you have seen all the great support for her, she is a

obtain required inspections to abate this complaint. so they applied for this permit and then got the permit issued and miss moon had been down at the department a few days when i was working on it so i became familiar with the address and property and i never actually went to the property. i'm not the senior inspector for that, but i known the senior building inspector. and i thought there was something just amiss about this whole permit that had been taken out to talk about this existing deck and existing conditions and miss moon had shown -- been pretty adamant that there was no existing deck so we opened a new complaint ourselves etch though the permit was suspended and on the 18th of february, 2014, after this permit's been suspended and i don't think this notice of violation was in the brief, but i go ahead and read it out anyway. it appears information used to obtain the permit for the yard was incorrect. the grade was raised before in/stalglation of the deck and retaining wall is not in the same height or location. deck was not

>> they've all been abated. they've been taken care of over the years. >> has there been any penalties? >> i didn't see any penalties on those. maybe the shed got removed. i didn't notice any penalties on that work. i didn't look that up to be honest with you, but it hooks like the cases all got abated for whatever reason. >> and you often will give your opinion on whether the penalty is appropriate or not. would you care to do so in this case? >> i mean, if the story is the gentleman was in a problem with a building and -- we put violations on a property, we don't go after the tenant, we have to put it on the property and the owner. it seems like it would be fair enough. the penalty seemed a little excessive. it could have been a little bit lower. $1,000 would have been half the amount, so i would say i wouldn't be in total disagreement to lower it, yes. based on what he's saying is that's a bad experience to get through so, you know, i don't know -- there was nothing in the brief that mentioned about the evict

two weeks, myself, my brothers and numerous volunteers cover a 16-block radius in san francisco to abate graffiti. this program has grown and successfully grown into a ray of light for the students, the academy and san francisco. in fall of 2013 we were instrumental in removing over 2,000 cigarette butts from the streets of san francisco which was an initiative spearheaded by herself. it was because of her unselfish dedication that allowed myself and other young men to develop social graces, the art of good manners, good taste and developing the power of an education. she is more than just a member of faculty or board, she is to us a friend, supporter and cheer leader. she leads by example. rebecca delgado rottman is our champion for change. >> thank you. are you running for president or something? >> good afternoon, supervisors, my name is genevive dupond, it is my pleasure to speak in support of the reappointment of rebecca delgado rottman. i have served with her in numerous organizations. rebecca has demonstrated leadership and resources in maintaining and elevating the progress of th

of your speech that you gave this week in which you said the threat of this radical islam is not abating, it is growing. it's spreading across the world. it is destabilizing communities and even nations, and in the face of this threat, we seem curiously reluctant to acknowledge it and powerless to counter it effectively. why is this happening and who specifically do you blame for it happening? >> i don't think it's a question of blaming anyone, but i think we've got to understand the nature of what is happening with this islamist ideology. i mean, the reason -- and i say this with a certain amount of humility. i went through the post-9/11 world, afghanistan, iraq trying to deal with these issues. i think what is absolutely clear in the middle east and beyond is that the single most important thing to understand about the different countries with their different conflicts and challenges is that the common theme is the disruptive effect of an ideology based on an extreme, in my view, perverted view of the proper faith of islam. this has been exported from the middle east. i'm afraid it is
