what is dbi-where does tenant services and a dbi view of a permit run into each other, or is it just we pay attention to the plans and if the plans are in compliance we will approve the permit and tenant services that is somebody else's to discuss? where do you run into that and how do you mitigate that situation? >> at the plan check level i dont believe tenant service come into play. we look at building code. dbi also has a housing inspection service that respond to tenant complaints about maintenance issues, but that is not what we are talking about tonight. >> okay. thank you. >> okay. >> anybody else? >> commissioner lopez has a question. >> on the statement that was made during the appellate's presentation about the delaying -laying of the foundation and rebar, related to the adu which i understand the statement is this was done essentially going against the existing nov that was in place at the time, can you comment on that in any facts you have about that? >> a building inspector was out there today looking at it. if we are talking about the same (inaudible) i did meet with t

i have to say dbi i'm sympatheting. the permit holder did responds within 60 days when we sent a letter of cancellation. building code says the department shall notify the applicant that the application will be cancel in the 60 days unless extended an application exceeds the time after notice will be deemed cancelled without action by the department. if than i had not responded within the 60 days today be cancelled. if they did, we don't have a written policy. that's where we are. >> question from commissioner lect berg and president swig. >> will i also like commissioner chang see both sides and agree punitive to the permit holdtory cansel the permit out right. they have you know complied with everything they were supposed to and all relevant time and granted extensions by dbi. and never theless i'm sympathetic to mrs. blake's situation. would the department of building inspection arc menable to waiving fee fist we grant the appeal. would you wave fees and you know restart if the per mist hold her to restart the proces

i can speak only to the planning code portion, i cant speak to dbi portion of it. >> i will ask dbi to respond to the same question, is the checking of the box perceived as a law or fraudulent action and does it have merit or context in the issuance of the permit. >> he will answer your question and we'll start the time. he has 3 minutes for rebuttal. thank you. >> i have to confess i'm not a expert on the screening forms. i can do further research if you continue the case. i apologize, i guess i did misunderstand what the basis of the appeal was. i thought it was the size of the parking space. i apologize >> but in the context of any like action, when a-if this-forget this building if this another building same issue, same mouse trap, same everything, would the checking of the box be done one way or the other be relevant to your issuance of this permit? >> it is concerning that they are saying it was undergoing mandatory story upgrade and the work had been completed 4 years prior. that should have been probably caught at the initial intake. it wasn't. like i said, i'm not a expert on

i want to start with dbi. on information sheet g23 includesed in the application the landlord falsifyed two pieces of information. one related to affidavit on housing service and ongoing seismic at the property. the landlord cited a permit on information sheet g23 that was 5 years old. the permit was granted to the prior owner for seismic work is and that worked completed and signed off by dbi years ago. thecurrent owner needed to establish a false fiication of seismic work to exploit building code 34b and the admin code to allow them to unlawfully sever housing service. namely, the garage belonging to the appellate. now, dbi had they properly investigated the history of that permit perhaps could have established there was not a investigation that we know of, and i want to move to the planning department. during the course of the review of the application, the zoning administrator had to issue a action memo on a density waver. because the landlord sought to establish the lie on seismic work and that want quest

i went to dbi and planning records.didn't have anything there, i went to dbi, he couldn't find any plan. everything was so ambiguous that what is happening that he himself said just appeal and then you will find out what's going on. that's why pretty much last minute, i filed an appeal. so again, i keep hearing that nothing is being extended, nothing is being built. i don't have a problem with what's happening with the inside of the house. if that's true, that's fine, but i need some proof. i need to see something. i don't want to be here again and i don't want to file other complaints that suddenly something is happening there in that matter. at the same time, with the same thing would happen with that excavation with the garage. again, in 2015 when we went to the discussion or review, this was the fight basically. i didn't know at any minute what is really happening, what they really want to do. architects changed. there are seven people on the title, i have no idea who i'm talking to at any time, every single time it

and we actually had to deal with many city departments besides planning and dbi to be in compliant. and for that, compliance and for all the work we did, we have a benefit. and -- my problem is if you get a benefit you have to live by the rules. and as much as i appreciate them doing upgrades to the build together it is good for them to upgrade the building themselves anyway. i personally think that we should follow staff's recommendations. approve with conditions. 7a and believe we should adopt a resolution recommending a nonrenewal. >> thank you. >> commissioner black, did you want to make an additional comment. >> [inaudible] [no microphone]. ipment to make a couple comments about the mill's act. will and i had a couple questions for mrs. taylor. can you talk a bit about the difference between the mill's act and nonrenewal and had a cancellation would mean. >> sure i will be happy to. so, in the contract by state law is a 10 year contract. that renews annual in perpetuity date. any point they can put it in nonrenewal. that means that the contract would be limited to just 10 years

>> oftentimes it comes to the issue ever ceqa getting their liquor license and getting through dbi oressary requirements. those are the areas that takes time for them to get through -- to be able to say they want to start construction getting that approval. >> this is just more curiosity question. i'm trying to wonder, is our timeline for someone who wants to go into 33½ too long compared to having a master tenant in place? i just want to judge the timing. do you understand what i'm asking rebecca? >> i think so. i can add more context for one example that you are familiar with. they were trying to get retail tenants for buildings under construction now. they don't have leases yet. if that is a guide how many months it takes to show the space, garner interest and sign a lease. i would think our timeline is aggressive, but i would expect when we get into contract through the department of real estate contracting tool we can find out our expectation. we notes pier # is trying to fill their space. we watch the ferriy building. there is exe stition right now that says the leases are too f

i mean it's common in the arts delivery system, the art support, dbi and planning have totally separateabases. we have to do better by working together especially on this issue. we have our personal experiences or family members who have been caught up in this. it's complicated. i want to say that i really appreciate the challenges. i think i spent a lot of time in the tenderloin inside buildings too, not just out on the street where with these kind of issues and nobody knows who to call and just call the police and now we have the mental health number that they are supposed to be responding to, but do we have anybody answering the phone, i don't know. that's what i'm saying, it's time to talk about this stuff. i feel heartened because we are having this conversation. i feel like it's good. we all wish it would have started happening many years ago but it didn't and now it accelerates like everything if we don't find a better solution. so i really appreciate you all, all of your questions and attention to this. it's such an important issue, and i want to also, i want to do a ride along
