in the elevators for hours. that's a lot of hazard because we don't know what's going to happen inside the elevators because they're so fair and wonderful and have health problems we want the elevators to be fixed as soon as possible i want to >> thank you. thank you very much >> i had a quick question in my work in chinatown i didn't see a lot of elevators and in s r o buildings in chinatown. >> we don't have that many elevators that's one of the problems also, we have a lot of seniors in the upper floors that letting have to live inside the room they can't get up and down that makes it more critical to have elevators fixed in the buildings. we sometimes have tenants who seeking for buildings with elevators in their community. for example families of senior who just get disabled say our grandma really needs to stay in the community that's where she spends most of her life and can't find someplace where there's an elevators so if the results for our community when the building has an elevator and so the elevator

that have elevators from the liquor up and two have no elevator. the replacement team doesn't place people in the buildings that need special accommodations to get to them you don't believe you don't mean that the elevators from the term of the word i - and when we've had elevators breakdown we're on the phone like twice a day with the owner to ask when it it being replaced so you're saying this part neatest needs to be built and the hot team will place people in other hotels while the varieties is broke down and it didn't account for one hundred and hundreds of people that are part of our community the seniors and the disabled that may not receive in home support services to help them live in the buildings and live as they have the disabilities and the health issues. that's really only for the 3 hundred where we have a little bit of control the mou says that the elevators have to be you know regularly reviewed as the state says. it does say all those things we have less control and there's a lot of elevators that need to be replaced >> uh-huh. >>

the elevator but we can do things at a local level to better address this i'm curious what those are >> that's a again, yes i have a recommendation at the local level would be s r o property owners have to have a regular maintenance visit on a determined to be scheduled like weekly or quarterly instead of having a contract where someone responds if you have problems if you do maintenance periodically you can extend the life. >> and around accountability we place s r o folks so if we knowing place a resident with physical disabilities where a broken elevator is disrupting do you have my what are some of our thoughts in terms of our responsibilities and it's a major challenge and potential liability so with when those matters are brought to our attention we try to work with the individual department to see what other building in the portfolio to get people roenld one of the things we've considered in the past is increasing the budget for temporary relocation costs. for place like the department of public health so that someone might have an option to stay at the regular hotel so a s r

housing inspector to clarify what director hughie said elevators get raider and break and get repaired and break new parts have to be made and it creates details in 2014 we've written as the department of building inspection 14 nos o notices of violation on elevators not being fundamental in hotels and a cough of those residential hotels because of the elevator situation and other violations those cases were referred to the city attorney and now part of a lawsuit dealing with the maintenance of resident hotels. one of the things to explain about the elevator requirement is back in 1995 the fire code had a provision that elevators were required for multiple family building and hotels if the vertical space was greater than 50 feet. at the time the department of building inspection was created we were asked to create a code section that linked that provision to requiring an slate for the occupants use back in 1995 this becomes important when we talk about this states jurisdiction and while the idea of monthly politeness it's great we talked about that the problem we had while we, write a

so if the results for our community when the building has an elevator and so the elevator issue even though chinatown doesn't have that many elevator buildings it does effect our community and loss its a problem that we need to a look at a citywide problem >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> supervisors thank you for holding this meeting. i'm victor from the independent living research center. i thoroughly agree virtually everyone that everyone has said with other people i want to encourage the city to find funding be for direct grants or whatever to help the landlords of the hotels get the elevators needed repairs as is or upgraded i'll leave that to the dbi or osha to decide that. i'll a make a couple of points one is that as the lady said not everyone a on a residential hotel is there because of some kind of city or government program there are a number of city programs yes and federally funded programs like oh, shelter care by the way, there are a lot of people in residential hotels as was said that's their rent controlled home this is the one problem with saying let's p

that someone might have an option to stay at the regular hotel so a s r o for the duration of the elevator repair >> thank you so much ms. johnson. >> so next, we have department of building inspection and we both have director tom huey and another colleague so director hughie. >> good morning. i'm director of the department of building inspection. as you see starting march this year i created a camera because we see the problem with the elevator and we had a survey first of all, i want to acknowledge my staff my chief housing inspector and rosemary and their spending one thousand hours to survey roughly one hundred and 61 s r o buildings have elevators and all 5 of them is not working. and also this is the first time in history the department to do all this statistics to find out each elevator in each building what year they built you know what cart they have and from thereon i ask my staff to, you know, have a series meeting with all you tell public and our staff to come up with some kind of recommendation still on next monday we'll schedule another one. you know, as director carla johns

that elevators were required for

elevators or escalators or both the elevators and escalators were offered to provide a discount for the entire package. the bid amount we received two bids one for the escalators and one for the elevator. the center bid was $10.6 million and the other was 9 million for a total of 19 million plus this excludes the maintenance only for the constellation of the elevators and escalators arrest this is a summary of the breakdown of the bid results starting with the elevators the elevators are for 12 million 25 thousand this contract included two board approvals as part of the july 2013 bucket and one alternative this was to provide the service elevator 201 one that have the two slates on the loading department of education for $2.5 million and alternated 15 was to have a finish and that alternative was one hundred and 50 thousand we have to increase the glass elevators for security the bid cost came in at no cost so the oldest bid for the elevators by accepting all the saeflts is 25 of million dollars and plus the microscopes period. that includes the maintenance by otis t is 1440 millio

so elevators. there has really been a lot of good activity surrounding elevator access and i want to give the mayor's disability council some of the really good credit about those conversations because the hearings you have devoted over the last two years and your housing resolution really helped to raise awareness about the critical role that an elevator access plays in keeping our existing accessible affordable housing functional. and as we have heard in testimony both here and in other places elevator access has been especially challenging in older buildings, including the housing authority properties. and also the single-room occupancy hotel rooms. and of course, what happens is when these older buildings go out of service, for maintenance and for repairs, then residents lose the ability to get in or out of their homes, sometimes for hours, sometimes for days, sometimes for even longer. so i really want to acknowledge the amazing work that the council has done about this issue, but also our adv

in april of 2014 mayor ed lee committed to replying elevators with the seniors but the problem exists with the elevators meeting modernization with the hotels as well whether euro a you are in a hotel or apartment in the festive overview event of a fire resident said when they up and down they're waiting for the firefighters to come and carry them up and down the stairs that's not the solution we want to see for the problem our emergency frrnd are not the solution we took an initiative to correct this in hotel and made surveys online available as well as distributing hard copies to understand the scope of the problem and it's hard data is presented to have solutions. we'll be hearing about the solution today >> thank you for raising the profile of this and working tirelessly for the city and the resources behind the solution. just to this date the city has implemented some solutions a provision in the elevator repair where more maintenance workers are addressing the issues and having on site people to run medication and food for the strangled but there's more we must do we can't wait

and in most of those, they are reached by transfer tiers, elevated play elements. and now the standard, because it's written by adults, doesn't really want to get into designing play and doesn't want to get into designing play elements, and we can design the mechanical elements and those who know how to design play, design those. so in this particular photograph, this is again at glen canyon park. where you can see it's a set of stairs, with a handrail. leading up into this wooden play structure. but off to the right-hand side is the actually transfer tier, where a child can transfer out of chair, onto a raised deck, and there are hand grips. so that there are things to hang on to while you are doing that functional transfer. however, you are trained or however you learned to do the transfer. and then the steps are a certain height or within a range. so that you can kind of butt-bump into the play structure to play with your siblings. i call it the butt-bump. [laughter ] . >> it works. >> again this particular structure is out at st. mary's, i believe. when there i

so our job here is to make a dual-door elevator that serves both buildings and get the other two elevators back in good service. the elevators were beyond their functional life span. we hope to have this project completed within next fiscal year, 2015 before christmas. very critical to get that job done. another project that is the last of our clinics to add an elevator in is maxine hall. there have been over nine that our office has put money in. there are 12 different clinics in the system throughout the city and one of the things, -- many of these projects are partnerships with the department of public health and in some we have paid for the entire project to get through the front door, get to the check-in desk, the public restrooms, get through to the back clinical areas, the restroom and examine room and drinking fountains and exam room in each functional area, whether it's dental, medical or prenatal. we did one very smart thing, adding an elevator in all the two-story buildings. the second floors used to be occupied by storage. so we're very proud of that program. and i did mention

it is a reasonably large unit to be serviced by one elevator when they access the second floor it's a more public point of access. i leave it with those questions and while i support the project i know it needs nor refinement and i agree with the west facing lawn. i'd like to see a little bit more definition in that wall i think it sunshine could be done with the material your using to make it maybe not articulated but some break up so there is lines in there that is give is more definition perhaps a little bit darker color might help. and with regards in the parking on the second floor i think we're trying to support on existing business that requires it to be cars and those cars are going to be operated mostly on the main floor and the residential parking on the second; is that correct. so i'm not exactly sure it has to go somewhere it is hidden from view it looks like it's masked by the outside of the building so this is fine with me. and then also i suggest that we try to make the corn in his of the two adjacent building and at the very a top we have before the set back if we ca

destination elevator save 35 to 40% of the electrical energy over traditional elevator.tors save energy by using a regenerative drive. when the cars are going up empty or down full of people, they generate electricity that goes back into the building grid. these elevators have energy by grouping people going to the same floor in the same cab. and the way they work is you have a shared elevator call button in the lobby. you would indicate which floor you're going to, for instance like 3, and it will direct me to elevator c. so, i'll go to an elevator with people that are going to that same floor. what's also interesting is inside the elevator floor cab there are no selection buttons because i selected my floor in the lobby. this takes some getting used to as we're all accustomed to choosing our floor inside the elevator cabs. ♪ ♪ >> another thing we saut that was a challenge for this building was the permitting process for the delivery machine to use reclaimed water in an office building. and i think that we really broke the ground for future use to be much more commonpla

so we moved all the elevators over those are only required by cod you see the green open space to the east there's one stair we had to remain for code reasons but the stairs were removed from the building along third street to allow more air and light to the project to the nor north. so more space and the major center of the block the green space is liquored up ann and on the upper roof. this is a plan of that it's a little diaphragm that red director reiskin rectangle we've been asked to plan another 3 feet so our rare wall and their rear wall lions if we made that further move we'll lose a bunch of 3 bedrooms we think the alignment is close enough sunlight will get in there and the 2 bedrooms is important for the district and project and then you see the elevators alienated to the south and not shade that project. this shows a 3 dimensional to be sensitive to they're open space. again another view this shows the original rendering and the next is the cut away highlighted no red and brought down between 20 and 10 feet on the side. 24 the other street from illinois. the next slide you

but have the elevator moments to get things on the table. thank you >> is there any additional public comment? okay seeing none, public comment is closed supervisor kim >> thank you. i'll just make a couple of concluding remarks i appreciate all our tenants and advocates for come on here actually upper the ones that highlighted the issue and bring it to the forefront. i know this is something that's been going on for years we we hear about from individual residents it's frustrating and i want to appreciate our departments dbi and the dph and the mayor's office of the sdaths. i think it's clear from this meeting? a complicated issue unlike public housing we had jurisdiction and the authority to replace the elevators with this it's more mud he would we're not the owners but we contract up to one hundred percent of those buildings and use city funds to keep those buildings affordable for resident we place into housing. so i think there are a couple of layers that should make the city interested in finding solutions for this complicated issues.
