and the fire code it principally amended the housing code that's the retroactive code with the systems within those knows the other things we have to consider is the types of things that start fires cigarettes and in opening tun areas of older electrical systems those types of systems keep anchorage we very are older detection systems and nominal amount of sprinklers that is housing stock from that standpoint it is time for the department of building inspection and the fire department to get together and look at those issues and see for example, on the central systems whether or not those can be improved those are - the systems that is housing code requires is unmonitored systems can the improvements to that and in the apartment buildings should the new sprirnldz be rearview mirror o required those are the types of things by the looked when the residential hotel sprinkler ordinances was adapted there was conversations from director duffy when that ordinance was place in the housing code there was a prohibition that they could not be located with complying with the section and again tha

under the planning code and under planning code section 317 which we had talked about in an earlier case, it not only applies to demolition of buildings but also changes of use, merger of unit , and for the provisions of the planning code we look at live-work as a residential use. so if you wanted to remove a live-work unit or merge two live-work unit you are subject to the requirements of 317 because essentially that is removing a residential use .d in my reading of the interim controls this would be even if they are live-work would be residential uses for the purposes of the planning code and for the interim controls. >> thank you. >> we have an answer to my question? >> commissioner wilson, i spoke to my client. my client used a property manager beginning the time he purchased the property in 20012 and to his knowledge the only rentals in the building after 2012 were commercial and there were no residential uses to his knowledge. >> no i'm sorry. i believe that inspector duffy has some additional comments to make, commissioners. >> commissioners, i just want it repeat that the dbi has

, many more not in the system we sent a letter highlighting the changes in the health code asking for feedback i've not heard from anyone but we'll try to incorporate as many as possible our goal not to make it more difficult especially, if their legitimate but the reality is whether or not your dph or c m ac exempt we've found establishment that even though they meet the minimal requirements they're still breaking the reilly's rules in other places we have to have our own staff to make sure their abiding by all the different rules in terms of the foes this is san francisco ems you know all two well, we require of all types of businesses we're not trying to single out the massage industry we want to make sure it is fair across the industry massage is a small business and yes there's work we need to do to make our process shortly and faster you know cheaper all of that; right? i'm commit to working on that i've been trying to do that for small restaurants in general in district 4 so i'm committed to working on that but it doesn't mean that you know, i know that is unfortunate that this

311 we look at the code for expansion of building and for illegal unit but nothing in the planning code for that case for an illegal unit under the mayors directive we'll require a hearing at the planning commission that will be renoticed but given the number of unit in this building exclusive directive didn't apply i'll agree if you make a place our home for a number ever years it seems fair to get a no say it is being taken away to inform you have your appeal right seems 0 fair and you don't get noticed after the 15 day notice appeal has inspired and think that is a better process to have implemented by the building inspection and this could trigger a hearing but inspector duffey will address that but it transitions many appeals so why that didn't employ to illegal units the city needs to look at that and we'll address that. >> hearing the vublthd vulnerable ability to get familiar with what this body does he utilized cases and just to get into the context of alive and it seems like a lot of illegal unit and people living in a lot of these o those illegal unit their vulnerable to be k

violations and the planning code didn't currently considers a mass acknowledge establishment employing the certified therapist and medical use this generally didn't require the conditional use in any district the ordinance as drafted we've changed the controls the planning code will 0 eliminate from the conditional use authorization requirement from massage establishment and employing the cam tech certified therapist and pro bono the massage use in one year of the location if that is closed due to health code violations and lastly 9 planning code will not have a medical use for massage uses planning department supports the ordinance as drafted for the following arraigns it run states the land use and has negative effects when is it disproportionately located in neighborhoods and it supports the massage establishment by roache the state certification and local certification this reduce the confusion around the land use regulations and the planning department supports the ordinance because the one year approximate puts operators on notice about the use for regulatory codes and the interp

or will there be amnesty in regard to the grandfathered code. >> amnesty is in the planning code. the last one i mentioned the last time we were here. >> it might be good for the record if you can present those. >> substitute for legislation in the finding section we are going to acknowledge the usefulness validity of massages of profession as suggested by the community and ensure the health and sanitation are realistic practice and not burdensome and to provide reacceptables for towels and make sure that we have not list of offenses. only if you are convicted, not just currently charged with but convicted of crimes. we are planning to add the definition of the sole practitioner to clarify. currently in the health code it says a sole practitioner establishment, but it doesn't say what a sole practitioner position is and we are going to remove the tier general and advanced practitioner license and just one that will require 500 hours of training and remove the temporary permits excepts those from out of state. if you have an out of state temporary practitioner permit you have a 60-

you can only do code enforcement in the code we said the majority of buildings have little fire suppression that is not going to help us get the tiff protection in the older buildings that the newer believes are objecting the other issue the sprinkler ordinances fully sprinkled those in the commercial areas that was 3 hundred and 54 buildings when we looked the orderly apartment buildings of 7 or more unit your looking at 20 thousand buildings so from that stand out with the regulatory framework we'll have to consider how to approach this in a manageable way for the plan checking of a partial system it is will be a burden on the fire department it is something to consider i want to make sure you're aware of those numbers. >> yes. and what i understand this argument to be if the city is endorsing the code i understand the fire supersonic is not part of code if the city enforced against clustering blocking for exits and fire alarms sprirnldz may not be necessary so the question of in a building it is one hundred code compliance our sprirndz a life-saving tool. >> absolutely the code enforceme

certainly up to 3 twnlz of it was at the maximum decency it allows for the process code requirements can be waived so information i wanted to provide for the board no open enforcement case for this property i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> photo of the kitchen it looks like it was in the 60s or 70s. >> yes. and the current zoning density allows that unit - >> we're not sure how many unit are there. >> of there were three or four under the provisions they could legalize one unit and the other unit potentially under the program we have. >> mr. sanchez did you come across the square footage of the property that's a good indication of how much space with legal in the building. >> we have in your records here building area is listed as 35 hundred square feet and that's the square footage. >> okay. thank you. >> inspector duffey. >> joe duffy dbi building permit under paling appeal is for at building is a type 5 frame building according to the characterizations 3 stories an art occupancy that's the what we have on property profile and the people put down as characters for the buil

that is not code compliant. the building does not allow the permit -- the permitting did not allow that space to be used for habitation and i am sure the building department never approved it for habitation. it's a liquor store but the fact is they were using it on that occasion to sleep and to my understanding they were aware that the gate was locked behind them because of the fire whether they lost the key that they had, whether someone was supposed to let them out in the morning? i don't know. the two individuals left the scene as soon as they were released from the liquor store. >> you mean by released you mean they had to break the lock, the firefighters? >> yeah, the fire department was there and i believe there were two padlocks on the gate actually. >> okay thank you. >> so if there aren't any other questions feel free to give me office a call, the fire department a call and happy to follow up with anything you have. >> i want to let the chief continue with her presentation. >> thank you. >> thank you ca

the state building code and the state's fire code cannot be lifted by the city of san francisco. thank you. >> i have a question, mr. buscovich. when did you start to perform the work for this property again? >> 2008. >> in 2008. so you made the owners aware that it was not habitable at that time? >> i told them i could not legalize this building, yeah. couldn't figure out a way to legalize it, probably around 2010. >> so they knew at that time that they had an illegal usage building? >> i would assume so. >> okay. >> mr. sanchez. >> thank you, scott sanchez, planning department. the appeal before you is an appeal of a release of suspension for the subject prompt. i'm here to ask you to grant the appeal and maintain the suspension of the permit. briefly, there is a long history, i will only touch on a portion of that tonight, the permit that is at question was issued in august of 2013, was not routed to the planning department for review, had benefit to analyze the project appropriately. concerns were raised to our department so we suspended this permit in october of 2013. that d

administrative review and the rear building in honest it is a nice little building and reasonably code compliant that are a few things to be fixed captured as a subsequent inspection it is reasonable code compliant for the most part the careers records show two unit for the property that's probably important to understand that and also the building is served by a separate central service which was in fact illegal permit back in the era of 903 i have the permit here if you want to see the electrical service there's no gas service to the rear building heat is provided two the electrical there is an electrical water heater there's no gas and the water service i took pictures of the water service to the building and the building inspector indicated everything looked like it was code compliant from a plumbing prospective and talked to the chief electrical inspector and from the firs didn't see major code violations in regards to the electrical work at the property so - i think it is one thing it is it struck me in reading the submittal package over again, was there is a court document where

so the san francisco housing code has overlapping jurisdiction with the fire code with respect to fire prevention mechanisms. that's fire escape. that's tagging fire extinguishers that has to do with egress. sprinkling certain parts of the buildings and garbage rooms and shoots and storage areas and other amenities that are required. those types of inspections the housing division within the department of building inspection does on an ongoing basis they're occurring right now. we have inspectors out there that do them on a complaint driven basis and systematically as required by the san francisco housing code but let me tell you what we're doing in addition to all of that. when department of building inspection saw a cluster of fires occurring in the mission we immediately instituted a concentrated code enforcement outreach program and that program included defining a concentrated focus code enforcement area. we looked at and identified 126 multiple family dwellings along the mission street corridor from third street all the way out to crocker amazon and six and a half miles and 67 ci

i think it's in the planning code and it's worthy of consideration. thank you very much. >> miss knight, rebuttal. >> a few quick issues. the first is regarding, you heard something about the light well. and the light well was very carefully designed in response to neighbor concerns. tes a very large light well that was put in specifically to protect the light and air to the neighboring property. and so that's actually a feature of the house that was very carefully designed and in order to benefit the neighbors. and so i hope you take that into consideration regarding the concerns of the light well. the other thing is the design. unlike the residential design guideline picture that was put up, this block has peaked roofs, flat roofs, it has a wide variety of architectural styles on this street. and the proposed project bridges those styles, it is appropriate while designed and is certainlifitting and in keeping with the architecture of the neighborhood. that's all i have unless you have any questions for me. >> what is the height elevation relationshi

we have to have a tax code along with a regulatory code and other things as well. have a tax code that makes us globally competitive and that's what we endeavor to do. this is a working product, tgs -- it is the starting point of what i hope will be an important engagement. to do something as big as tax reform cannot be a take it or leave it proposition. there are a lot of good suggestions and we're listening to a lot of them and always look for ways to improve our plan. but our hope is from it we can arrive at a consensus in america what a 21st century tax code looks like. thank you.

and housing code through the presentation i hope he said what buildings are covered for interns and good afternoon. i'm here to talk about the building code requirements and existing buildings the 2 hundred thousand buildings found in the city more than 20 thousands are apartment buildings over 50 year-olds they have monitoring systems some have sprinkler system in common areas they are to have sprinkler throughout the building i'll go over the existing and common - for new buildings built after 2008 they are to be having sprinkler systems they were only four apartment hours for 3 or more stories effect june 1990 now the exist buildings the requirements vary depending on the type of building for existing sro hotels that provide 20 or more guest rooms a superficial system starred in 2002 for existing buildings those were after june 1994 and lastly existing hotels have think outside the box required to have sprinkler systems since 19986. the following items to be considered when sprirm a building water service from the motor to the building depending on pressure a booster pump might b

for the vast majority of codes since 1969 this is the time to reexamine the code for upgrades and and this came up in the 1950s and 60s the fire a fire that we saw in that video would take 15 minutes and today under 3 this topic certainly deserved a conversation it is 86 percent of our housing stock there are a number of complications wee bit we'll did you whether the location and the cost to property owners what we can do to mitigate that costs and versus the how rent buildings did you ultimately the stories i think about are stories mentioned how for in a single unit can take out a whole block and $20,000 a unit didn't sound that much or, of course, our resident we have a fire in an sro hotel they didn't put in the sprinkler and none of the tenants were able to return to their units it was a rent control unit it was right across the street from a park we relocated them to 6th street to other units that had increased rent and the worse was when you know in treasure island we had a family where a 6-year-old daughter lost her life was the parent were not sober enough to call the fire

3 things in the health code we want to codify simulating that losses local jurisdictions we're adding additional amendments to improve enforcement and transparency and through this legislation we're going to partner with our community health and promptal grant to have a better educational outreach to workers and provide linkages and services and health care and other social purposes for workers so a little bit about the connection massage recollection and the public health it is seen as positive by the department of public health but unfortunately the regulatory environment created by the state impede the ability to have a healthy community i spoke about the loopholes of the unregulated businesses and those businesses don't have the same permitting of the hygiene of equipment and proper sanitation all have a health impact we recognize the many massage parlors are legitimate unfortunately, many are not we estimate 40 are illegal and those are houses for human trafficking human traufk is one of the faster crimes going in the world and 40 percent state of california occurs in the bay are

this is per the health code definition. what we are proposing as i stated from the beginning of this process is i want to be able to exempt the practitioner spot whether you are alone or up to four. however each practitioner will be required to have a dph sole practitioner massage requirement. i think that's something that folks are in agreement with. >> all right. >> now, in a situation for the next slide massage establishment where your fixed place of business with more than one individuals who administers massage for compensation you have more than one employee. again this is moving away from the full practitioner situation but we have multiple, this will require conditional use approval on our planning code legislation and will require a general massage establishment permit. >> this is the owner if you will, the head hon cho may or may not be certified. >> right. >> this business form requires a conditional use? >> right. this will be for moving forward and after this legislation passes to all new ones. next slide has t

none of the codes support that. only the enforcement of the o welian code might be construed for people walking a dog in the official area to be stalked, harassed, terror rised and lied to and ticketed but there is no reason for this radical change of policy with no advance notice, no community input, no explanation and harassing and ticketing people in the park. the signs prohibiting smoking but no code that gives this. in of in of 2013 the commission endorsed the san francisco outdoor children bill of rights which includes the right to ride bicycles. the signs prohibiting riding bicycles can only be endorsed by the use of the park code. commissioners with these signs the department is attempted to make policy by using the o welian park code and the new police force. it has created a debacle, atmosphere of discrimination and harassment. the general manager talks about the wonderful things that the department is doing and i can't argue for that but harassing these people are wrong. may i finish? >> please. >> commis
