just a quick question to dbi. i don't know director is if that's to you, and is on the tweet avenue property and the question that i asked the fire department about the living situation with two individuals who were living outside -- in front of the liquor store. i mean what do you do with something like that? how could the department even find out about something like that? because it seems that was a special arrangement between the owner of the liquor store and these two individuals. >> that's a very difficult situation supervisor. we had the liquor store -- it's my understanding operating as it regularly does. after it closed the situation happened and it's probably happening as we speak throughout the mission area so one of the things that is so important for us is make sure we're engaging with the community and our outreach contractors so people know they can call us or talk to us so that something like this doesn't happen, and we want to be sensitive that when we're dealing with code enforcement that we're n

when they see any type of perceived electrical violation we call dbi. they have a 24 hour hot line and they're quick to show up whenever we have those questions. i personally called the electrical inspection division on more than one occasion asking them to send a senior electrical inspector because we saw what we thought was an illegal electrical hook up for example. with fire prevention we have a form that we fill out. any and all code violations that we observe we send over to fire prevention and they put it in queue and send a inspector out there from the fire department to follow up so there is a process there. what we as arson investigators don't do act on that personally because that's not our job but it is our job to pass that information along whether to dbi or to the fireprevention inspectors so i wanted to assure you it's not ignored. >> one of the things that has been reported with the fire at 24th and tweet captain is that there were two individuals that were locked in a liquor store in sort of a space. can you talk a little bit about what

board of appeals for decision on what happens when small business despite having been told by itself dbi where the stair needs to be build it in the wrong space myelitis that's my recommendation of what to do with this project. >> commissioner richards. >> i think that a 22 high foot firewall is a quality of life issue we take those drs and putting ourselves in the place of the dr requesters i think if we went head and approve that this sets a dangerous precedence we will be inundated with this i'm not going to support a firewall as well. >> commissioner hillis. >> can we clarify if he were were to not want the firewall we'd have to take dr - >> (inaudible). >> not shift the firewall. >> i'm sorry shift the stairs over eliminate the firewall. >> to a point we'll not require the firewall. >> how it was originally approved after the initial variance i want to clarify when the zoning administrator heard the caesarean in 2011, the stairs were in the location they are now that they were built but didn't excluding include a fire call so following the variance hearing. >> was that code complian

a permit for the violation based on the permit on september 27201360 notices to vacate were sent so dbi granted us thirty days to complete the abatement with this time on october 28, 2013 we sent the additional notices to one and two and a one and two co-y requested we invalet our notices while the suspension went to the board of appeals in april the zoning control are tended to effect the future of the building this leaves this in the hands of a long process in the planning commission it could take years to shoulder the liability of tenants living in that extremely unsafe units with the fire safeties and the devastating dreams it is eir responsible for the city to force our hand in allowing the potential fire hazards thank you. >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> thank you, supervisors firing 7, 8, 9 today, i'm ryan patterson an attorney for 1049 market street, llc and 1047 llc the property owners are here let's be clear this legislation is intended to altercate those properties we've unaware of other properties effected by this legislation you have final written comments on this

trees structurally unsound the appellate has not gotten qualified opinions that is spinal to counter dbi's assessment they have not brought up my new issues and suggested an alternative that suggests the comprehensive review and the basis of our opinion on the viability of the trees in question pr rather than maintain trees in decline and trees with are structurally come down and fought with viable we have more costing option it is a more thoughtful streetscape for future generations thank you. >> i have a few questions so i see the replacement size are 36 box it looks like this is all the tree replacements. >> that's correct. >> on the species that your replacing with what is the time estimate to reach the current height of the trees that your replacing now. >> we don't know we want them to reach the hielth of the trees right now. >> what will the growth pattern be. >> the growth pattern we have the rendered plan i'll see i'll say the plan is 6 to seven years. >> in your belief you've noted some of the trees have been hit by buses and other vehicles how do you know those trees one way or

but i'm talking about the 3 day notice and those things. >> that should be put on people's doors dbi didn't monitor that. >> you don't monitor that they indicate that the inspector. >> this was housing inspector yee. >> that's how's. >> yes, sir. >> commissioners the matter is yours >> well, i haven't heard anything to lead me to building the permit should be - and more than suspended they want it to be revoked and reissued. >> not a motion deny the appeal on the basis the permit was properly issued. >> okay. thank you. >> mr. pacheco. >> there's a motion on the floor for the president to uphold this permit that was

be any oversight on the part of the city in this process is that how we plug in as a city and then dbi how do we do we have regulatory oversight of this or just all personal initiative private initiative. >> there are a variety of steps in the process commissioner, i think that one of the ways that dbi will be involved early 0 open you'll be receiving represents after they hold their hearing to remedies a thicker window or ventilation so this committee will review those specifically address any issues that are relevant to the project in terms of down the line when the notification process takes place that's a public document that the owner or the landowner has to sign an affidavit and at any time the venue or entertainment commission w can request one, if not an enforcement process for that. >> i was thinking down the road at this point everyone is on board and understands 10 years down the road enforcement becomes an issue. >> which element of the enforcement. >> making sure the the existing entertainment is still within the guidelines that the nogs notice of special restrictions are

. >> director's report 5 a update on dbi's finances. >> good morning, commissioners deputy director for the did you believe and before you is the february 15th year to date financial report and similar to other months i'll start with the revenue highlight revenue side a new beginning based on what we collected through february 2015 we're projecting we'll have about $2.3 million than actually budgeted we thought we were going to get $56 million in charges for services we'll get 58 percent plus we're collecting no more than budgeted the second page it budget to budget on page 2 look at revenues we've compared to where we were last year at this time so there's a difference and it is consistent over the past few months we've been doing well as it related to our budget but compared to last year we're a lot lower so february 2014 we collected $52 million now $44 million that's a drop from last year and once again the primary reason if you look at the next chart the evaluation as you can see the permit activity is bust it is issued for permits this year than last year, however the valuation is

where it needs to be we're clear we're not code hound we expect the project once it comes out goes to dbi and then gets executed based on the rules the fires separation is clear and in particular not a fire department exit stair a decorative stair i'm in port of it in the right position and adding a firewall past the fact the contractor overlooked it is totally and way beyond anything i'll be doing as with a large group of people that want a stair this commission together with the department spend a lot of time figuring out where the stairs would be best placed fire safety, etc. is a basic requirement not up for discussion we don't really want to can you remember extra possible firewalls but retroactively in order to make the project work in the if at any point this is not the place to discuss that i have to be tongue and check and staff knows exactly what we do and diligently well knows where the stair needs to be having said that i can't support the additional firewall and recommend this project moves to the board of appeals for decision on what happens when small business despite havin

then maybe the dph has other reasons not bans the particular property not the fire department or the dbi they deny the permit what happens it remains with the property and no one can operate for some period of time. >> it's been my experience that dennis herrera is waiting for us to give the thumbs up before a moonl or cannabis i've never experienced we say yes and they say no they're typically waiting for us. >> this didn't establish the use as a property so they actually file a permit to establish the monthly establishment once they get the cu. >> ; right? but let's say they do all this stuff and the last will step is the conditional use hearing; right? >> i think that is possible that a business gets a conditional use authorization and come through the process and have significant amount of health code violations and be denied we should look at that first, it makes sense to evaluate the process to make sure this is sufficient and whether potentially up front screening criteria before it goes to conditional review i think we can do that with our rules and regulations. >> (laughter). >>

the city attorney to expedite a couple of cases of landlords that are non compliant and we work with dbi very closely, and know that they're so many good people on staff trying to do the best job they can, so with they will turn it over to you director and thank you again. >> good afternoon chairman, supervisor mar and supervisor campos and supervisor christensen. my name is tom [inaudible] department of building inspection. it's my honor to give our presentation today. first of all san francisco is a dense populated city. there's lots of fire probably you didn't hear. as the fire chief mentioned there are lot of fires going on and last month especially some major fires occurs. for our department later on i will have my deputy director from inspection to explain how we're going to respond each fire in the city. we have 24 hours inspection -- inspector to respond to any fire, major fire called by the fire department, and also i will have my housing inspection chief rosemary to make a presentation how our housing inspection perform. the inspection, especially regarding routine inspection.

we work closely with dbi to improve the living conditions for residents in sros and the fire department to put on the fire prevention workshops. it's my understanding their model has increased effectiveness for the benefits of the tenant and encourage other agencies to also adopt this model. in regards to legislation that was mentioned earlier by supervisor campos we would like to see a focus on prevention via education. i know that's been mentioned by other people speaking as well. one of the things we would like to push for is mandatory workshops, mandatory fire prevention work shops in sros and other properties we would be expanding towards, either r ones with apartments or hybrids that have sro rooms as well as residential rooms because right now one of our great evaluate barriers to hosting these purely educational fire prevention workshops are the owners and management of these properties. i even got a call from a property manager who sits on the sro task force to tell me to cancel all scheduled fire prevention workshops and if it wasn't for the help of dbi actually who got in the
