duffy also would like to speak on this? >> commissioners, just like that, i did get a look at the revised plans myself with the architect and from the building code point of view and the building department point of view we have separate existing plans and they are not in the sequence of the drawings but they are better they show the exact scope of excavation, they are moving in the right direction and the wording on the permit to consolidate the plans need to be figured out. but i thought that the plans were a huge improvement from what i had seen previous and it shows you the full scope of the project from the $5 permits. >> and now conformed to the department standards of submission of the permit? s >> because it shows a full scope of working and elevations sections for plans which is what we like. >> you are referring to the set that you received less than an hour ago. >> i met with the architect this morning at dbi. >> okay. >> i got them this morning. he actually came in yesterday but i could not see him. >> okay. >>

duffy. thank you. >> good evening, commissioners, joe duffy, i don't think in the brief that you actually have the complaint or the notice of violation. i brought some extra copies if you are interested in seeing those. >> yes. >> the top of... give me one, will you. >> sure. >> i brought 11. so the top sheet is a complaint data sheet which is really, it gives you the details about the complaint, when it was received. and what the work was, the description, the inspector and then received 12th of october, 2012 and then the 19th of october, 2012, i believe that our building inspector got in there and issued the notice of violation, which you can see on page 2, which was for entire third floor being demoed and the plumbing and electrical permits and the conditions exist with the loose wiring and the uncontrolled debris and dust. he valued work to having been done to $20,000 and he imposed the 9 times penalty that is required by the code. i have a couple of photo graphs that i could show here i

duffy that, i talked to the microfilm person, patty and she confirmed it, i cannot get a permit with three units to do the one story. it is not going to effect his unit, it is on the lowest level and the guy who is not here who is being kicked out along with my client is not protesting. so the seismic is pretty straight forward but i can't get the permit to do this work. if we are going down this pandora box path the city is about to send out about 15,000 letters in all of these units are going to start coming up and the question is do you want to reopen cfcs? because, historically this board never wants to go down the path of saying a cfc somehow can be mode identify. >>vy one question. so, you said how many notifications were going to be sent out? >> the city basically is about to do and going to send out since the story count on buildings when they were permitted prior to 85, counted stories the wi that the french do. >> so i understand the story. >> two story buildings and above could potentially be a three story building, so they are going to sented out a letter to every two-sto

duffy just said he said that it does not look like a three-unit building, i agree, we do not main thayne that it is. the fact that there is no record at housing inspection division of inspections, is because it is not a three unit building. they don't inspect two unit. my client does not maintain so, i agree with mr. duffy, but it is a two unit building and it looks like it. >> i want to point something out in the statements made by mr. bascovich he leads you to believe that when he went down to the building department to get a seismic permit the building department said absolutely not. you have to verify and show us that it is a single family home and we will not issue the permits otherwise and we want to see a three-hour permit. that is not what happens and mr. duffy can tell you that the building department does not tell you whether to make it into a single family home or two family home. they merely say, if there is an illegal unit remove it, or get permits for it. they don't tell you not to get permits for an illegal unit. in fact the notice of violation for the building department

duffy? . good evening commissioners. congratulations on the new appointments. >> thank you. >> on this case we received a complaint that -- the department received a complaint on the 9th of october, 2012, remodeling done without permit. we did go out. we opened a case on the 11th of october and we tried to get in. we were unable to enter. we left a 3-day notice. it took them until the 31st of october. we wrote a notice of violation and it was remodel of kitchen and bathroom without permits, obtaining permits called for start work inspection on october 31. the applicant then came in on the 13th of november, got an over-the-counter permit to comply with the notice. i believe the penalty and notice of was nine times on value of is $15,000, so it is in our code to put the nine times penalty on. sometimes we do get them up here with paying the penalties. i would not be against a reduction, of some type. people always make the excuse that they didn't know that they needed a permit. there is a lot of resources in the department

duffy will tell you correctly that in order to create a second unit, it is the official position of the building department that a permit has to have on it a permit in the past in the existing use box and proposed box that says two. and that the existing use box not discuss what is there but it discusses what is legally there. and in fact, there is no such permit in the record. and i grant you, that definitely makes it look like this building was never officially changed in dbi records to be a two-unit building or a three-unit building. but i also ask you to take into account that that policy of the building department is a policy that is only been in place for the last ten years. i have been doing this for 30 years, maybe it has been in place a little bit more than that. but, it is only been in recent years as it should be that the building department has taken the position that you have to see a permit with the existing unit with proposed use two for a building to be officially a two-unit building. i ask you to look at the intent of what the applicant was which was clearly to create t

duffy? >> commissioners. just i started to read the brief from this one it looked like you were looking at the plans and it looked like there were problems with them but moving along and as you get into the later plans it seems to rectify some of the things that i was concerned for the existing conditions that were shown that have now been clarified and the third floor deck you know getting removed was definitely something that should have been done. and i think that they are moving in the right direction. our department did get contacted early on in the process, in july as a matter of fact and we did issue a notice of violation which triggered the additional permits and i know that we are permitting but some of the permits were required because of the notices of violation or complaint numbers and on the foundation work and the foundation work was inspected by dbi staff. and we give okay to pour and i have received the inspection and so i am available with any questions. one other concern that i have just rea
