in the bathroom. you know. it's just straight water. i'm like that, you know. it's off and on. and when they do do water construction thing, they don't post and say, hey, the water is going to be cut off for two hours. they don't even do that. the water is not on. they don't do that.

in the bathroom. you know. it's just straight water.

so, getting back to the bathrooms, if you commissionerses decide we need to add these other bathrooms, we certainly would consider that, but we will need some time so when the rooms come up vacant, we'll go ahead and do that. that is where we are right now. >> when you say time, what kind of time are you talking about here? >> [speaker not understood] when a room becomes vacant, i would like three to six months. >> commissioner walker? >> first of all, i want to thank the tenants for coming and speaking to us about this issue. i think that we, a lot of us here, have seen some projects come forward and it's one of the reasons why we have funded the code enforcement outreach program, because the people doing the work trying to help the landlords make these conditions habitable is really the point. and it works really well. i can only appreciate the work that our code enforcement outreach does with our housing division. that being said, i urge us all to think about what it would be like living in these conditions. and your client has taken on a building that needs a lot of work and, you

people still love their bathrooms. people think of them as an important room, as an investment for their home. yes, there is the gamut. some people are really just for function and utilitarian. some of them are large and lavish and everything in between. >> we are going to start looking at a couple of little vignettes of bathrooms. we can talk about fixtures and use that as a springboard for questions for our audience and discussions from some of the manufacturers we have here. let's start by looking at one right back here. this is a really interesting one because this has some of the characteristics of a traditional san francisco building. it has this starting with the board, i think it is called, and it has both old-fashioned kind of pictures and real modern stuff. what do you see here? >> looking around, it has gone a soaking tub. >> it has little jets in a, so like a spot/hydrotherapy kind of thing? >> exactly. what people need to be mindful on for these types of tubs are two things -- number one, they have a motor

so how far is the bathroom from the location of the truck? >> gary? >> 100', maybe. >> about 100' is what gary is saying. >> excuse us. >> what we can do, if you would like, we can work with the restaurant owner and see if we can get a map available to show to you during public comment period. would that be okay? >> okay. >> thank you. mr. kwong. >> good evening commissioners john kwong from the department of public works. there appears to be a continual different interpretations from the various parties related to the department's process. let's first go to the notification. the notification as stated by the various partis is correct about what is a truck. it's located -- the notification is to be 300' radius from the mid-point of the block or the length of block, whichever is greater. that is how the legislation is written up. when it's a food cart as such at a specific property address it's 300' from that throt.lot. it's relates to the evaluation of like foods, the department tries its best to make sure it's been 300'. we make that determination as

>> homeworks construction service, one bedroom and bathroom at ground floor. that permit has not been issued and still has to be reviewed by the planning department. it will probably be an over-the-counter permit, but there seems like there is somebody on boards anyways >> thank you. >> you are welcome. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, miss wu, do you have anything further to say? have you three minutes of rebuttal, if you want to use it. okay. commissioners the matter is submitted. >> commissioners i know that the property owner does not own other properties, is not involved in the industry and therefore i would support a reduction of the penalty to the minimum that we can, which is two times. that is my motion. >> okay. mr. pacheco, if you could call the roll please. >> we have a motion from commissioner fung to reduce the subject penalty to two times the regular fee. on motion president hwang? >> aye. >> vice president lazarus? >> aye. >> commissioner honda? >> aye. >> the vote is 4-0 and this penalty is reduced to two times the reg

, the common bathrooms. they are highly problematic as far as the maintenance of them and to make sure that they are available for the residents. typically the code in chapter 5 indicates you have to have a minimum of two of these common bathrooms per floor, given the range of guest rooms. the ordinance proposes retroactively that 6 months after the date of adoption the ordinance will go into effect, that will give us time to do the outreach we plan to do to the property owners in addition to talking to them in the sro task force, of which i am a chair, but we envision doing a direct mailing to all the property owners that would have a copy of the ordinance, a technical manual that would give them advice on how to install the grab bars in the most efficient and soft-saving manner. that's something the mayor's office and carla will talk about a little bit more. she has great expertise in this area considering she's been addressing some of these same issues in the nonprofit residential hotels seeing the types

we have an illegal bathroom

bill, this bathroom is worth over $200,000. you still have to use an outhouse, and by outhouse i mean a discarded daily news wrapped in a coffee can. it is not even cold. >> i can't even refrigerate it. >> i think this was money well spent. >> you are going to need an industrial strength toilet for that kind of toilet action. >> have i to move on. if you buy my book the indoor plumming is a farce. ever since we brought something that was outside inside, we have perverted the whole idea of this. >> indoor plumming was the greatest invention of all mankind. >> why would you live in a house where that's going on? >> i like indoor plumming, but i don't like doors. >> deal with what i am doing, america. >> coming up, is it important to check the labels. dana marine know -- parino why she only wears clothes made by children. and your time has come, or is time a moisturizing gene whose product has cococococo >>> i may never get over this. they went through the ringer with the use of a finger. two first graders, is there any other kind

and there is no handicap path of travel to the bathroom, which is required. no way can the customers use it or the employees use it. no. 2 is parking. it's taking the last two spaces in this whole large two and a half block area of downtown. no parking. we need parking for customers. we don't need parking for coffee. no. 3 the side door, when you open the side door it will take 60% of the sidewalk. it's right in front of a restaurant. when the restaurant puts out their tables it takes up 40% of the table, 60 and 40 last time i checked was 100. where are the pedestrians in it's a problem. we have an illegal bathroom and we're losing the parking and side door operations make it impossible. this deal just doesn't pass muster and when it doesn't pass muster, you can't sell mustard. thank you. >> fill out a card, sir. >> hello, among the other reasons that restaurants is family-owned restaurant -- the problem that we have, i have a couple of points here. we sell coffee in the morning. two, there is always construction getting done there. and as you can see, there

we get many complaints about bathrooms being unsafe to use. myself, i live in a sro hotel. i know in my building the floors in the showers and outside the shower stalls are real smooth tile. we have no grab bars and my landlord says absolutely not, they are not going to put them in unless it's made mandatory. they would save a lot of money and so would probably the city and other services such as medicare, medical, if these grab bars were installed. we would have fewer people going to the hospital and it's just vitally necessary to have them as well as phone jacks in the rooms. there's only 5 or 6 people in our building that have phones because management and owners won't put in phone jacks. they say you want a phone, you pay the cost. we're not going to. so -- and most of the people in the building are on limited income like social security, ssi, that kind of thing, can't afford the $150 to $200 to install a phone jack just to have a phone. so i'm pleading with you, please help us get this legislation passed so we can be safe. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. >>

to make a wheelchair-accessible bathroom, it takes a lot more space than a regular bathroom. so, it is a problem oftentimes with small businesses. especially if you have to do two of them. and it cost about $15,000 to $25,000 to build a wheelchair- accessible bathroom. for restaurants, bars, it's a truck, there is an issue on the height of the counters -- for restaurants, bars, at such wreck, there is an issue on the height of the counters. that keller would make the person wheeling up on in the chair not be able to be eye level. you cannot have it like that. you have to have a portion of the counter down level. it is 34 inches. i daresay most of the counters will not be that size if you have a business like that. however it may be. that is not what the normal business layout is. tables. there is a percentage based on the number of seats that have to be wheelchair-a accessible. they are required to be appropriately designated with a placard. you can get that any press run supply store. in place with commercial interiors can furnish you with those placards. you also have to ha

if you do a bathroom remodels, they are saying the job cost $18,000, you might recoup $15,000. the hard part in determining that, to compare apples and apples, is to look at a house in the sunset district with a single-family home with one bath, or is it a 3-bedroom condominium in the castro where maybe everything else is really done fairly recently and updated nicely, but maybe the bathrooms never got updated? that would probably change dramatically the resale they'll -- value on that universes' the house in sunset. these are wild figures. we have to go to seek professional advice with the intent of satisfying your goal, whatever your goal would be. this is a question when representing sellers that we get all the time. it should i do this or that? you really need somebody that is in the industry to come with you and go through and say, don't do that, but painting this would be great, but don't put in a new counter in the bathroom or kitchen. it is item by item, neighborhood by neighborhood. sometimes, sellers are under the impression that if they agreed to the kitchen, that wi

and believe it or not, we're not huge tv fans. >> and how many bathrooms in the house? was thinking five bedrooms, the pool bath, and then the powder bathroom here. >> what's going on? cornell economics professor robert frank has some thoughts. >> over the last 30 years, almost all of the income gains have gone to people at the very top of the income distribution, and so people at the top have been building much bigger houses. people who are just below the super rich, well, maybe they wanted to build bigger but were afraid it would be unseemly to do so. now there's this 70,000-foot monster above them. that clears the way for them to build 60,000 square feet. and so it trickles on down, one step at a time. >> to your neighbor, who doubles the size of his house. now your house is suddenly small, so you build a bigger one. it's kind of like an arms race, only it promises mutually assured expansion. >> it's exactly like a military arms race. one side buys bombs; so does the other. and then they're back where they started. the norm for what constitutes an acceptable house ju
