units, how many of those property owners are going to avail themselves of legalizing a [inaudible] or a challenge for them. in that situation one of the things that's happening is the director, which was a fantastic idea, i really commend him for this, is asked to ask late last week, a list of all the open cases that have notices of violation that we issued in housing and the ones that were recently abated within the timeframe specified if supervisor's chiu's legislation. we will be doing a mailing to them directly of that legislation. it's my understanding that his code committee is looking at the information package, which bill talked about earlier right now to get that finalized so we will have a package going forward. concurrent with that, the rent board -- this is again, something that the director asked for in the meeting on the mayor's directive, has asked the rent board to send us notices of cancellation and notices of intent to withdraw so that we can look at those notices and see whether or not we have the unit violation there and see whether or not we can send information to those individuals so that we can encourage them to avail themselves of this process. now,

existing notice of violation and a director's hearing that we need to abate and we do have sort of a bit of an issue that we need to take care of to clean up that matter before the property could be disposed of by lease or sale. >> okay. >> the immediate next steps. >> i think that we need to do is we can bring this back in four to six weeks with some more explanation so that we can feel a little better informed before we make any sort of decision in terms of an action item would that be okay with the commissioners? >> does that work with your schedule? >> if you like to set it at 6 weeks, by then i can come back with a formal appraisal. so we have a third party, that is updated and we can look at both. >> and you are going to ask them to run the financial on the lease scenario and on the purchase scenario, and that is six week time frame to give me time to bring that back to you and i think that we will have a much better data to make a better decision. >> that is great. >> and these are the commission's intent to observe, the appearance of the building or the use of the building, i don't know which one is more important? >> so if you could include in the appraisal the
