at that point an inspector from the city, inspector dennis yee, and the housing department was called by me because i was wondering how they could do this tremendous amount of work, what i thought was a demolition because it was so noise , without notifying anybody in the building. i was informed by mr. yee, the inspector, that they can't because the buildings are so old they predate 1979, that there's a law on the books, according to the housing department -- i've since read the law, of course -- called the san francisco lead based paint abatement ordinance. and that oird napbs is one of the only ordinances that require buildings that fall into our category, oru, which is an r2 residential category, those buildings are required to be noticed, the residents aren't required but in this case they are because of the lead-based paint because of the environmental hazards that lead-based paint could have on people who live in the neighborhood and in the building. so in our building in particular there's one woman who is pregnant so that's important i think to know and there's me, who has a

when we got the first complaint about working without lead, dennis yee was contacted, i had a conversation with him and told him the notices were out. by the time i talked to him, the 15 permit had been suspended but the 7 and 9 permit had not been suspended and we started work on those two units. we had submitted new plans so we requested a new permit because we were submitting plans for 7 and 9 because we were having so much trouble with 15 nobles, those plans were submitted as well, but we were working in the unit, everything that was on our original permit for the two units, then we submitted the full set of plans. on the building department right now they are showing two open permits for each one of the units, 7 and 9 nobles. the girls in the office have not submitted and it's our loss because the permit will, i believe mr. duffy can state the permit will eventually just expire. the one that was pulled incorrectly. as far as mr. yee coming out a second time and writing us a notice, that was because he was called the second time and he came out. i met him out there that time and i went
