there are more ellis eviction folks who can get housing. i think the inclusionary program i think it's important to try to think through this. i did want to ask it's not that anyone who is ellis can jump the wait list. you can only get the preference when a certainty entity is accepting applications; is that correct. you can't apply to housing without being notified >> i'm with the housing and community development. i think you're correct. there are a couple of instances we're talking about hero. the inclusionary units low market rates each separate project will have a separate lottery and a separate list a created for the affordable housing there's a separate lottery for each now lease up. and there's a fairly well put together system for the new of new buildings, however, for the rerentals of the one hundred percent affordable buildings the system is not as sophisticated. not that we don't want the system to be more organized i think it was more organized it would be easier for all individuals to have access to that building. as it stand

i think i'm in spot but i think the 10 years is reasonable especially the ellis act has limits. i think that 10 years is good it's a disincentive we're approving a lot of new units we're trying to retain the rent control units we have we're building and approving. or non-rent control so i think it's the same side we should be preserving rent control and this helps do that. i'm supportive of the 10 years were i agree with the 10 years i think i would be supportive of having that timeline start now. as the public know about it, it's out in the pun domain. i'm not an expert on the retina ordinance but it is o m u the only no fault eviction besides f i? >> i don't know if anybody is an expert. >> deputy city attorney. i think the two no fault evictions are owner move in there's a list i'm entirely sure but that's the most common one >> i know there are limitation one unit per building i have it's a 5 unit building. so the supervisor may want to look at the different rules for o m i evictions where your take a look the entire building off the market but not knowing enough about the r

. >> just a question on the state law change it was 10 years for an ellis act and it switched do i have any background on why that change was made at state level. >> i don't can the planning staff answer that question. >> i don't know that's a state law beyond the planning coincide. >> but it was true it was 10 years at one point and it's now 5 years. >> the city attorney mate know. >> i believe the ellis act has always contained a tiered number of business so if you go back into business in 5 years after 10 years there's more restrictions but i understand part of the ellis act has not been amended. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner sophie with the planning staff. i received one letter from the san francisco association i will distribute that to you are the association recommended 3 modifications is that the 10 year term be reduced to 5 years and when the law becomes effective and if the unit has been lawfully removed an owner shall not be subject to this ordinance. i'll distribute that and i have a chart for the criteria for dpooshsz as well as the evaluation of merges and to non-res

i was an ellis act evictee back in 2005 and people didn't even know what the ellis act was. well, a lot more people know about it now. one idea that i heard of some years ago on the state level, which nobody seems to be talking about now, was it wouldn't solve everything but it would be a step, would be requiring that the property owner has to have had the property for 5 years or more and i make that 20 years. that would discourage some of it. yeah, i lost my place where i lived for 36 years, raised 3 children, they were mean, they did all the stuff that you hear about, you know, the harassment. they even tried a lawsuit at one point, it was like baffling and they lied on the legal documents so i got help from the tenderloin housing clinic. those people are really good, thank you, steve collier. yeah, i don't know what to do about it. i have thoughts about, they could have some kind of mental health survey that property owners would have to take and if it disclosed that they were incapable of feeling either compassion or ethical standards they would be prohibited from owning

this map is sort of a quick snapshot showing where ellis act evictions have been concentrated. the darkest colors show where the highest numbers have been 20 2000 and 2013. you will see the intermission and the castro eureka valley noe valley, the next, it's the blighter shade of blue is haight ashbury. this is where most of the evictions were concentrated between 2009 and 2013. the numbers are there by neighborhood. what we've put next to them is changes in property values during that period as recorded by the assessor recorder. that's counting all kinds of properties, that includes commercial property as well as residential and as you can see a number of the neighborhoods outpailsd the city-wide total for increased rates in assessed valuation. the others were also high but not as high as the city-wide rate. the ones high were the inner mission, castro, and castro. what's more striking is the column on the right showing increase in home prices. this is the actual home price of homes for sale during that period. five of the 7 neighborhoods exceeded the city-wide total in increa

i'm supportive only of the ellis act situations. owner occupied move in that's an entirely different situations because he's using his own property for his own situation so i think that the ellis is a different situation because they're getting out of the rental market and they're using it for other perspires that effect other people. i'll support this reluctantly on the issue of 3 or 6 years >> commissioners there's a motion and second on the floor excuse me. to adapt a recommendation for approval to include a 3 year review by board of supervisors. >> commissioner moore. commissioner wu. and president fong. so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero >> commission is going to take. >> during those preiss and when sprg speaking

otherwise, it's just ellis's blood on ellis's handkerchief in ellis's pants, so... wouldn't have beened access." state employee? his name is on the major incident log. does this look familiar to you? looks like the handkerchiefs my mom always buys me for christmas. why? do you remember claire gibson's murder from march 21, 2006? sure. i remember everything. it was my first murder scene. i was a police explorer back then. your handkerchief was found inside gus ellis's pocket. he was the suspect at the time. can you explain that? yeah. i was waiting on a radio car to take him to the hospital to get a blood sample or something. guy was sitting on the curb, scared, got a nosebleed. he was dripping blood everywhere. i tried to stop it, then gave him my handkerchief. nosebleed. n-o-b-l. that was the abbreviation on the doctor's notes. rhodes: according to the major incident log, you stayed outside the perimeter of the crime scene the whole time. that's not true, is it? when the officers left with the suspect, i snuck into the scene. i never saw a dead body before. did you touch anything whi

i applaud the ellis act, we need to do these things but we should repeal the ellis act, we must amend it and change it as part of any package coming from this committee. thank you. >> thank you, sir. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, i am marla knight, a retired city college teacher and a fourth generation san franciscoan. i live down the street from teresa on lombard. we were bought by urban green investments in mid-november. a week later we got the letter of intent that they were going out of the land lord business which they had been in one week. on february 24 of this year we received our notice of ellis act eviction so we are due to vacate on the 4th, 2014. i support your proposal, especially the moratorium. i hope it will apply to us too. i'm also a volunteer tutor at telegraph hill community center and i really would like to continue contributing it my community. as all of my co-tenants, we have a couple asian immigrants who are 89 and 92, respectively, and they are section 8 resip cipients and they are being evicted too. urban green chose not to do a value added and do

these ellis evictions are, ellis act evictions are affecting me because that means more competition. there supposedly our bmr is below market rate, rentals or housing and when you go and ask people treat you like second class citizens when you ask for that, for help. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> thanking you for your attention. my name is ian haddo, i have long-term held a rental property which is also my home. i am at risk of being displaced. one of the most powerful questions i know is how did i or we set this up. so when i asked that question for my own benefit i shift my attention from other people and my desire for them to change their behavior where i wield no power, to recognizing how i have contributed to the situation and how i might change my behavior to affect a change and influence others to do likewise. a question which i have not heard being asked in this hearing or in any other situation is why are an estimated 70,000 rental units being withheld from the market? nobody's been surveyed, i haven't been asked, i have been withholding two or three re

the preference mridz when the notice of intent to ellis it filed. so whatever happens after that, the preference starts before when the process starts and perhaps it would be helpful if ms. will from the rent board explains the process there's two no's that are fidelity but the perch starts with the first notice >> that's good to how far. >> indian is the legislation wouldn't apply to buyist because the preference kicks in with the landlord files a notice of intent to wraut withdraw from the market and that's the official ellis pressure and they file a notice with the tenancies of the office. but with the bow out the landlord approaches the tenant and offers money and they won't have to file with our office and the tenant takes the money and runs. and this legislation didn't apply to those paents tenants it's difficult for us to track those. it so you would their private agreement and if those people are included your double dipping because you've been cut a you sum of money and you'd be eligible for the relocation for the housing >> those are not a

i would suggest using the language of the debt in the ellis act. the distinction in the oilsz lapsing is 15 years ago a walkness of all the distinctions if this made senses to use ellis >> let me ask the rent board is that a suggestion that makes sense. if you wouldn't mind speaking on the record >> i know the destines which is unable to - >> it impairs a life-threatening activity it's much boarder. >> i would sunken we defer this item i want everyone reading from the same page. i'd like to ask city staff to circulate language out to the reads and hopefully in the next hour >> i want to make a brief comment we have different languages i wish we could consolidate and have one language it didn't make sense to debate between the distinction. >> it's because the ellis provisions are stable. >> i see. i - anywhere else. before we defer i want to say i support this legislation and it's really not just about it is, of course, help people who are in great node of housing given the situation with evictions in the city right now and in the future. but there

they went right to threatening us with an ellis act. it's clear that this is the intention unless something changes. the building across the street from us they have already cleared out the residents of the two flats that we look

this is something, an addendum to the ellis act. if that's going to keep being constitutional they should allow 50 percent of the profit to go to the people who are being kicked out for the next 20 years. or they can make money somewhere else. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon, thank you very much, my name is jonathan stoker and i've lived at 1049 market street for the last 3 years. and on or around september 15th we received a memorandum email from our property management and they informed us that they were sad to inform us that they had lost their long protracted expensive battle with the city and that due to city hall's overly restrictive policies that they were going to have to vacate the entire -- that we would have to vacate the building and they were sorry, nothing they could do about it. so we immediately came down to city hall with our torches to find out what was going on and we found out from dbi, very sensible, seemed like sensible people, that this absolutely was not the case and that it was the f

the ellis act has been interpreted broadly to evict tenant to go out of the rental business. you might have heard of the lee families the adult daughter and folks who have been evicted out of their home where they lived for thirty years because of the ellis act. this represents any household and we have a need to help folks who are getting kicked out of their homelands. we know that the board of supervisors budget analyst report that the nuke of ellis evictions are rising. specifically in the past year we've seen in the report one hundred and 45 percent increase in ellis you filings which is the highest increase compared to any other type of eviction. the legislation that the supervisor proposes would allow tenants who have occupied their places more than 10 years to help with the priority with the 71 san francisco. i'm not going to go into the details of the legislation since you've heard the components from the planning staff but i'll take a moment to respondent - respond. from the eligibility from 3 to 6 years we've created this timeline for the tenant. we believe that a l

i have also been fighting an ellis eviction by 3 speculators. these speculators intend to merge the 3 units in my building and sell it for a profit. it would mean i could no longer afford to live in san francisco because of my modest fixed income. i am here today to show support for any and all proposed legislation that would discourage the use of no fault evictions such as ellis and owner move-in evictions by real estate speculators as a means of circumventing city rent control evictions that have resulted in the displacement of scores of long time residents including seniors and the disabled so these speculators can realize huge profits by repackaging these units. i have long said the only way to combat this was by the creation of new legislation. therefore i support the proposed ordinance by supervisor john avalos approved by the planning commission 6-1 that would put into place a new planning commission regulation that would ban mergers, demolitions for 10 years if there was a prior no-fault eviction. i am also in favor of dramatic increase

they went right to threatening us with an ellis act. it's clear that this is the intention unless something changes. the building across the street from us they have already cleared out the residents of the two flats that we look directly across at. there are two restaurants on the corner, that building is going for, want to guess? 2.8 million dollars. of course within a week our land lord, our owner, the owner of our building, sent us, contacted his attorney and had them send us this letter. so this is the heart and soul of the city. i want to share my time with jackie but certainly she has time of her own. we've never been late on our rent, we've never asked for any big improvements, anything that's ever been taken to the building he's taken to the rent berd and had it passed down to us. we've paid for every improvement ever done in 25 years and now we have to leave. thank you, supervisor campos, for mentioning my thought today. once the advocates and artists are gone, who will be left in our city? this is the heart and soul. >> thank

no, aunt ellie.n of a bitch for one more second, i would have launched my lunch. well, that's all right. we'll just have to get another shot at him. hey, danny. what, mom? well, shouldn't that green wire go to the common terminal? oh, yeah. and now, i, the reverend orville c. tarbrush present onto you the mighty instrument of salvation. and i really do believe the most shocking thing about all of this wasn't the reverend's unorthodox appearance before his congregation. although, i must say i was surprised as anyone by his obvious shortcomings. but that's not the real problem tarbrush is creating. i think he's creating an atmosphere of suspicion that would do serious damage to those of us who are trying to spread the word of jesus. i have no sympathy for the man-- you have been treacherous and deceitful-- --he has--disgrace upon us all-- --convincing that slut wife of yours to entrap me. well, well that is conspiracy, my friend. and don't you try to deny it-- excuse me, miss. excuse me. sorry. can i h

aids patients have been particularly hard-hit by ellis evictions. with the absence of other affordable options this has forced many of them far away from the health and support resources that they depend upon and likewise this is a threat to seniors and people with disabilities who can be torn from the only affordable housing options they have. the assembly member has been consistently meeting with supervisor campos as well as housing and tenants rights groups around these issues and is deeply committed to crafting state legislation to rectify them. residents should not be pressured unfairly to leave and if they are legally evicted they must be adequately compensated. the assembly member looks forward to continue working with supervisor campos and all stake holders with an honest plan to support those at risk. in conclusion, we all know that this is a tenant city and we'll do all that we can to protect our tenants. thank you. >> thank you and thank you, assembly member ammiano, for your leadership. i'm going to call out some speaker cards and i woul

act we can't stop ellis acts but implement other policies to stop eviction. based on recently data the number of ellis evictions has risen just in the past year we've seen a one hundred 4 had evictions from that and the highest there rate xashd to other kinds of eviction. the code today would allow tenants who have been 90 in their places more than 10 years to receive priority funded by the city of san francisco. the mayor's office of houser and a community development will administer this program will balance our affordable housing nodes. this legislation would impose several things it can only be used once and the priority will expire after 6 years if not used for new developments. only 20 units can be used for the preference and tenant have to meet the eligibility requirements. from my prospective i building there is a critical measure to stop people from becoming homeless in inform. we need to make sure that your residents don't fall through the crack. i wanted to thank the co-sponsors and my colleague and the chinatown development center folks and the te

ellis act would come into play. the other situation is the pes skin ordinance and that has a different trigger date. that doesn't look at the current owner. it looks at the building history. if you as the current owner or prior owner it affects the building. that is the property owner serving the tenant with the eviction notice, that trigger dates in may 1, 2005. and those again could be ellis act evictions or other kinds of evictions. so those items are considered and that's part of the information that is forwarded to the department of public works to the rent board. >> thank you. i had a question. if it's a case, what date in 2004 was it? >> november 16, 2004. >> and through pass skin's legislation in 2005. why do we look at eviction history from 2000 on wards? >> jonelle al ner from the city attorneys office. i don't remember now from those years that those pieces of legislation were created but i think out of an abundance of caution wanted a longer history as it pertained to a particular building to catch poten

you have our ellis letters in front of unless theirs changes on march 31st. we get a check for half of the minimum settlement she sent it to us we're not going to cash it hoping for a miracle. while we doughnut - don't not qualify for the market rate unit we're very, very supportive of this legislation and hope that will help san franciscans the most vulnerable san franciscans stay in the city. as i said the other day once the nonprofit people and afrtsz are gone who will take care of you have city >> good afternoon. i'm alex i'm a native san franciscan. probably pretty rare. i was looking at this from november 12, 2013, the san francisco rent tracker and it says the petitions by building owners 57 units compacted that's only the beginning. this is old news for more people in san francisco that are born and raised here. so, please i support this. i can't believe it's even on the agenda but it has to be some type of - okay. who somebody buys a property and they want to buy the property at a certainty amount of money they have to adhere - they have to believe t
