there was an order of abatement issued june 28 of last year. therefore staff recommends to up hold order of abatement and impose assessment of trust. that -- >> thank you, is there anybody here from the appellant? >> thank you commissioners. my name is clinton choi and i'm the owner of 284 union street and i also am the president of our condo association, 280 union condo association which is made up of three owners. my understanding is we are subjected to a penalty for not replacing the para pit wall in a timely manner. what we are here to say is that we are requesting that the penalty fee be waived because we've actually engaged in this permit approval process over the last two years. we live in a landmark preservation area and therefore we are subject to the certificate of appropriateness rules and regulations. if you take a look at the records you can see there were a number of instances and opportunities for us to engage in hearings, to engage in acts of action -- let's say action issues. and i think all three of the owners have been very p

an order of abatement was issued on 3-18 of last yore. year. staff recommends to up hold the order of abatement and up hold assessment of costs due to the fact of not clear utilities received and also maintenance issues that are continuing with the building. thank you. >> is the appellant here? would you mind coming up? >> i bought the home in september of 82 because i used to drive along the great highway and i always admire closeness to the ocean and i have continually lived at the same home in september of '82. so it was a total surprise that someone from the neighborhood filed a complaint that i wasn't living there. our neighbor next door told us about the development of [inaudible] below our house so my wife and i went to the planning department here in the '80s and also in the early '90s to save [inaudible] as open land. so we finally made it. we spent endless hours at the hearing of the planning committee and we also work with then commissioner sue [inaudible] and other people in the neighborhood. dean marcus was the director at that tim

i know a lot of the violations that end up with us in the abatement appeal are in the common areas of the sros, are in the back areas or stairs of multiunit buildings so as we do the routines, maybe we'll catch a lot of that before it gets to the state where it's going to be a really major nov and incredibly expensive for the landlords. you know, maybe i'm just too optimistic about the routines, but i'm glad they started again because i knew you had just before, but i hope that as we proceed with this, we can start seeing some figures, maybe at the end of the year, as we do more routines and catch the little problems early, that they don't become major novs and can cut down on those. thank you. >> senior inspector john, a [inaudible] report on code enforcement. >> [inaudible] code enforcement section. so we hit 111 [inaudible] cases referred to [inaudible] for the month of april and of those 26 abatement issued, 17 were held under advisement. we abated a total of 138 cases and we referred six cases to the building inspection litigation committee. to comment on them, the complaint revi

(clapping.) >> so good evening, everyone. and welcome to the

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

the legislation also requires that they post a bond with the city so other is not abated the city can do it and bill the applicant against the bond and reimburse the city for the bond if the graffiti is not removed in a timely manner the public works will issue fines of one thousands a day and repeated violations can lead to the city requiring a box to be removed entirely and the underground at this point it is underground the boxes is not considered feasible in media locations it requires an annual public hearing by the department of public works where the city departments and utilities and experts and members of the public can discuss the technology where underground becomes feasible. if at that point if underground becomes feasible the utilities will have to place their boxed underground and colleagues, i look forward to a robust fill discussions and hope to have your support. i want to note we have minor amendments i've distributed most are technical cleaning up amendments one is a location when utilities seek locations on private property the applicant you must offer mandatory co

in this particular instance, a lot of these open cases have orders of abatement. they've been taken through the process short of being returned to the city attorney. now the policy is more complicated because the mayor's directive is basically saying we want to have rental housing preserved even if they're illegal units. these are the things we are looking at with the property owner. obviously it has not been the will of this commission or department to do a bunch of inspection warrants on these property because that would be very expensive when the property owner doesn't let us in so we're adding things to the letters to let them know. that if they don't let us in, they need to take care of this. we're really trying to give the property owner notice that there are more tools to try to deal with this particular issue. if they don't avail themselves of the legislation and say it's one dwelling unit and they're eligible for that, then the issue is what do we do with those if we have an order already issued, do they go to the city attorney? that will be some things t

bus systems are running on time or whether or not 311 is working or whether or not, you know, we're abating graffiti. the fact we have this where the average, you know, person in san francisco could go to the controller's website, use this particular barometer and information and prepare these incredible charts, i'd like to maybe see more outreach to work with the public to figure out a way in which we can educate the public on how to use it. so, that would be my only feedback. thank you. supervisor chiu. >> just a quick question. i think we could delve into any of these topics. but do you have the average muni bus speeds? is there a quick way for us to know why my line, what those numbers look like? >> i know they have that information. it wasn't looked into that level of detail for the benchmarking report, but they do have it. >> okay. >> on i think a daily basis. so, we can work with the muni staff group to get you those reports. >> that would be great, just to get a sense of what those numbers look like because i know obviously different lines vary dramatically. okay, thank you. >> okay

meanwhile attacks have abated. boko haram are focusing on isolated communities where it can take time to help such communities. >> >> the abduction of these girls marks a turning point fighting boko haram with world powers joining the search for the girls. do you think that's the case? >> it is a significant statement in that actually boko haram hasn't received this much national attention since it reemerged in 2010 as a far more vital organization, nor has the nigerian federal government come under so much national scrutiny in terms of responds to the boko haram crisis. >> just how do you think the united kingdom, the u.s., china, just how are they going to be involved? >> so far, promises of support include assistance through sending expert teams, small expert teams, you are looking at logistical communication experts, technical equipment, the expertise to use the equipment. the expert team sent by the u.s., france, china and also canada and australia are interested in supporting this effort. the point of this is
