duffy? >> any public comment?seeing none, the matter's submitted skbl madam secretary, do you have a record of what my motion was -- >> madam director. >> it clearly wasn't resolved, but can you read my motion? >> sure. so i think that's the november 8th motion which was. >> yeah. >> let's see...to grant the appeal -- to grant the four appeals and issue the site permit on the condition that the penthouse and roof deck be removed on the basis that these features are out of context with the surrounding neighborhood. and on that motion of president honda, commissioner lazarus and commissioner wilson dissented, which is why it didn't pass. >> my -- my thoughts on this is that -- that there was a -- originally a glass enclosed penthouse that was -- that we -- it was described as a beam of light that would intrude on the neighbors and change the character of the neighborhood, and i think that's what we reacted to. i'm going to put aside for the moment the new -- the new plans because we haven't had a chance to really st

i know congressman duffy's wife was on with us earlier. rachel campos, duffy.he is a member of our fox family here. >> right. >> harris: she was describing the fact that it was hard to get you as medical attendants out of that train because you were being told to stay in. we don't know what the gasoline situation is outside. we don't know, you know, if there is a chance of an explosion. >> correct. and there was leakage from the gasoline tank on the side of the truck. there was a large amount of what appeared to be antifreeze on the ground, which, you know, worries you something other than antifreeze and could it ignite. yeah. it's very active accident scene with a lot of hazardous materials around it. >> harris: you could see the leakage? i don't mean to cut you off but this is the first time that we have heard in detail that there was something there to what they were saying stay in the train. what could you see exactly? >> well, there was a gas tank. and there was liquid dripping out. it wasn't running out it wasn't gushing out. it was a pretty steady drip t

duffy? >> joe duffy, dbi. just a few things to add. mr. santos is correct in that if this work is done under this permit, it will clear the violation from the four properties. if there is any -- i have under the impression there were permits required for the other properties but that doesn't appear that's the case. if there was some temporary cribbing to be done, that would possibly be under a different property. that could be sorted out at a side meeting prior to the construction. if the permit is upheld, i would offer that dbi go out there before the resumption of any work so that we can get everyone at a comfort level that this work will be done in a safe manner to adjacent properties. i have been saying that from the word go to the appellant. obviously, he's concerned for his own property and the safety. we get that. we always get that at dbi. we try to relay that at all times. we're able to go out there, means and methods, proposal from mr. santos on how this work will get done so this doesn't impact the neighbor. mr. bleskovich is ob

duffy. i do get it, there's a lot of permits out there. i think in the spirit of the conversation, it's hard to monitor and track, but thank you for clarifying that. >> and just one other thing -- the misrepresentation on plans is as big of a problem as demolition. i don't know if you're getting all that, that's one of the issues that we deal with a lot. someone shows something in a building as existing that's not there. that's a huge issue for us and that's something that -- i'm a senior building inspector, what do you do with -- like if the city attorney wants to get involved, go ahead. i don't think anybody at d.b.i. will ever object to that. and if you want to change the codon the penalties, go ahead, that's fine as well. we're all for that. >> thank you mr. duffy. in regard to, i would close out the comments here but -- first of all thank you for the speakers coming out and discussing the conversation that was badly needed and it's been an ongoing blackmark for our department we have be

duffy, you wanted to say something? >> just before you finish, joe duffy d.b.i. mr. butler referred to me on a building permit. i want to say it was temporary shoring of a building. those do not go to the planning department. we need to approve them, when it comes to someone on the third floor, we're doing the process and refer to engineers for approval. so the permit he's referencing that i was so wrong on, i was actually right on. a temporary shoring permit. i wanted to correct on that item. >> thank you mr. duffy. i do get it, there's a lot of permits out there. i think in the spirit of the conversation, it's hard to monitor and track, but thank you for clarifying that. >> and just one other thing -- the misrepresentation on plans is as big of a problem as demolition. i don't know if you're getting all that, that's one of the issues that we deal with a lot. someone shows something in a building as existing that's not there. that's a huge issue for us and that's something that -- i'm a senior building inspector, what

can you tell us anything about that, congressman duffy? >> i can make a comment on that, but what i can say is rosenstein has been not cooperative. he's one who's helped stone wall congress, took us four months to get these documents. i think if you want to clear the fbi, if you want to clear the doj be transparent, show us the information you have. >> laura: release the memo. >> beyond that, lee re-lease the investigation. if we're going to fully investigate what they've done we need fair partners to work with us and i don't think rosenstein has been that fair partner. >> laura: if he's not giving you the information, why, why can't the people get this information out there. clear the air. if everything is fine, it's fine. >> you will get the memo, you'll see it, i think the intel committee will vote on it and you will have a chance to see it and so will america. >> laura: we're itching for it, we lease the report, the hash tag, release the memo still tending on twitter. >> now we have to have the schumer shutdown trend as well. >> laura:

. >> inspector duffy? >> joe duffy, dbi. it was a form 3 permit that was taken in for review. it looks to be meeting the intention of the building code. i see that they do have a total of five bedrooms and five bathrooms when it's all done. i would also warn, just warn them that if they start using it for some other use rather than it's intended, used as a single family dwelling, that dbi could be involved in the enforcement of that as well through our housing inspection services. lot of neighbors do get worried about these type of projects, and rightly so sometimes, but we can't look into the future. we do know it is legally a single family dwelling. from the plans, it does look like it meets building code requirements, from what i see. >> president honda: inspector duffy, was there any permit history of illegal work being done on the garage level? >> i couldn't find any. there's no complains on it either. >> president honda: thank you. >> is there any public comment? seeing none we'll have rebuttal starting with the appellant. >> i'm the appellant's son. i wanted to start by

joe duffy, dbi, have you got some questions? >> the permit holder had indicated that the initial permit was issued and he proceeded to work off that initial issue. i mean, i'm just a little confused about that because there's subsequent nov permits. and so in his brief, he had 13 rooms in the brief that was supplied by the permit holder. but what i'm -- the question i'm asking is the -- did he build as perthe plans that were submitted to the building department, besides the facade -- i'm talking about the interior. >> yeah. i believe from the research that i've done on the case, and i heard about this around the office two or three years ago. i heard chief inspector speaking about it a couple of times with the senior. it's one of the properties that they put in a bunch of bat roombat -- bad rooms, and they rent them out. in answer to your question, there was a permit issued, but it was issued in error and was signed off in error, actually, and we rescinded the certificate of final completion. it shouldn't have been signed off. a

duffy. in regard to, i would close out the comments here but -- first of all thank you for the speakers coming out and discussing the conversation that was badly needed and it's been an ongoing blackmark for our department we have been trying to deal with for many years and i concur with all commissioner comments on the next steps. i want to also point out, as a department we issue thousands of permits a year. and i don't want to minimize this, but i really think what we're dealing with here is a small fraction of a group of people who seem to be continuously coming across and doing the bad apple -- the bad projects here. i see -- as i breakdown today, i think one thing to start with -- i kind of direct my comments the the director and as a commission i think this is something going forward this year is going to be one of the top issues, is -- and mr. duffy touched on it there, representations on the professional plans submitted to the department. and i think that is something we need to rea
