the first so conform to state law 25404 of the health and safety code. they require all facilities to present certification through the california environmental reporting system also known as sers. the regulated committee will be able to enter data. state legislation was at ab 2236. environmental health staff has provided technical support on our reporting system and now it's easy to update their existing information and provide a paperless one stop shop for multi-businesses. the 2nd amendment eliminates the hazardous material plan for the use of hazardous materials and generation of hazardous waste. this is again conforming to local legislation state law. this was enacted in the early 1980s when hazardous materials were more abundant. most facilities are reduced their hazardous storage to low levels. we have a health prevention and green business program and we now accomplish reduction through working with our businesses and consultation instead of regulatory action. businesses are still required to provide health waste reduction plan. a 3rd amendment is

>> depending on the complaint, the housing code has an overlapping jurisdiction with the health code and fire code. if it's a bedbug complaint, we might make a report to the health department and possibly dpsw if the debris or the blight is in the right-of-way. it depends on the nature of the complaint. when it comes in we are analyzing whether or not it's overlapping with a jurisdiction. we have a plan that we use that we will e-mail to them and indicate whether or not we are taking a parallel action. right now our complaint tracking system doesn't allow to see if there is an active complaint by all other city agencies that are engaged in the code process. i would love to see that happen but currently it doesn't have that ability. >>supervisor scott weiner: is there a thinking about having that kind of centralized data base? >> there is 311 which is a repository to some of the complaints coming into this city. i can't necessarily go into that to see that the health department may have a complaint or a fire department may have a similar complaint to the one that i have received. >>sup

you go into system if it is a more unified system and you see they also had building code issues, health code issues and this and that. i don't know, i do think if you have folks that are repeatedly violating codes that it becomes a blatant disregard of the system and there should be a way of coming down a little stronger with some of these egregious repeat cross code violations. i think it would be helpful that you don't have to look at a bunch of different databases or make phone calls. >> definitely. right now it's manual. you are having to query a department but if you access at your finger tips, that would be helpful. i know that management is discussing having a management division which would be helpful but would have to be somewhat limited in scope to the housing and house ability issues and some of the functions of the planning department where we have such a wide array of enforcement matters to have that all rolled into one agency that is reviewing some matters that is problematic as the planning code is amended four times a year. it's a constant battle for our department to train o

i will be sharing with you very briefly the department of public health code enforcement policies and procedures as requested and i will be available to answer any questions that you may have. i discovered that the chart provided because of the number provided on the flowchart is not too well on the screen. bear with me. we'll try to see if we can get this on. our healthy housing program is designed to inspect residential apartments with more than three 3 units in the city and to respond to our complaints of properties violating the health code. the department of public health enforcement action are generated through two distinct sources. namely services request or complaints to routine inspections. usually for routine inspections these facilities that we routinely inspect throughout the year and these include the hotels, apartments, shelters. many of the times, these inspection are scheduled. the service request or complaints are usually made to 311 system, through e-mails, and public agencies and the board of supervisors and mayor's office. what we do when we receive these complaint

>> one of the things that are interesting about the major code enforcement code, the health, fire and building and housing code, planning code as well but it's dealing more with land use issues. the code that i just mentioned they were developed and meant to operate individually and separately. so there does need to be a synthesis there especially in the abatement process which i will get towards the end. the way i communicate to find that out is through a phone call or e-mail or whether it's through a task force case, i may find out that way otherwise it's difficult to keep track of that. there isn't a good system to be able to do that. currently the department of building inspection will allow somebody to go on the city website now and be able to see whether or not we have an open code enforcement case department wide on a particular address and what the permit -- activity is. it's my understanding that it doesn't have it yet. >>supervisor scott weiner: seems to me that it's more of a centralization for the information for the department and the public and the ability of the departm

the hours are to be posted along with other rules at the outlined in the park and health code at each major entrance to each park and in attachment b you'll see the sign we've been installing. we choose this model because the park users will see had information rather than posting it internally on some place were people couldn't see that. and it will have uniform wording. the proposed use of logos along with the rules of items of information on the sign will help with language challenges here in the city eased the proposed wording on the sign easy the main issues that our staff deals with. the department proposes to have this universal progress for the parks. since most of our parks have multiple entrance the number of signs will be between 8 hundred and one thousand signs using a contract authority the preliminary costs will be seven hundred and thirty thousand and 18 house thousand dollars plus. the department requests the department to allocate money from 9 reserve from the undesignated reserve to fund the project. the fund balance in this undesignated fund is 8 hundred thousand pl

a judge in chicago has reduced a fine against an abortion clinic for extensive health code violationswn to just 77 bucks. during an inspect in 2011, the illinois health department found a laundry list of problems at the women's aid clinic, from rust and dirt in exam rooms, to storing fetal tissue in the same freeze err as tv dinners, to a soiled paper towel being removed from the trash and used on a patient's food tray. court documents show a lawsuit was also filed against the clinic for not performing cpr on a patient who later died. the thomas more society, a public interest group, say the judge reduced fines to just $77 after the owner claimed the clinic had been shut down and that was all the monleft. it's claimed the new facility, just like the old one has opened in the same place with the same website. >>> well, a new steamy twist in the real life soap opera playing out between billionaire george soros and his soap star ex-girlfriend. it happened tuesday during a deposition for a multi-million dollar lawsuit followed by the 34 yield brazilian actor against the 83-year-old for al

and i know that my colleagues at dbi and code enforcement within the department of public health they know this as well as i do. so we have been working -- >>supervisor jane kim: i have a question, i understand you are dealing with those that are mentally challenged and also seniors, how do you address those that don't speak english and are less familiar with our system and maybe concerned about reporting a crime or violation of a code largely because of their concern about documentation? >> so are you referring to renters , for example that might want to refer to a landlord? >> yes. >> we have a very diverse staff. we have eight languages and lots of resources to accommodate language needs. the role of the aps social worker would be to explain the rights that a resident renter would have and we connect with the landlord to try to handle those types of violations that we might see outside of the system. if we see that a london -- landlord is not willing, then we work on a code enforcement of our own. does that answer your question? >> yes. >> i don't think that that situation is very

evaluation requirements; making environmental findings and findings under the california health and safety code; and directing the clerk of the board of supervisors to forward this ordinance to the california building standards commission upon final passage. >> good morning, commissioners, patrick with the division, with the city of san francisco and i want to thank you for your attention and as you know the air quake safety is a 30 year plan aimed at reducing risk just like i was up here in front of you, just like a year ago talking about a soft story retrofit, this is another stop on the tour. this is looking at the safety of the private schools and before i go into that and insurance it is a year since i talked to you, i wanted to give you an update and let you know that we are in the middle of the screening process and dbi has done a fantastic job and they have been working hard to implement this program. and there is a live, website that dbi and that tracks all of these after this meeting if there are any other questions about our out reach plan i am happy to go into detail on that and i a

these procedures that you have to follow to make sure that everything is, you know, within the health codes but they take this food and deliver it to an emergency shelter called craig's doors, which is also there. and i met the executive director there, kevin noonan, who is a wonderful man, and all the volunteers there. and i had the privilege of serving meals who came to the shelter on a cold wintry night. i have to tell you it is eye opening when you talk to these people and you learn about their backgrounds and learn about how they've fallen on hard times, but i'm grateful there are places like craig's doors. i'm grateful there are young students like the ones i met at the university of mass, amherst, who has stepped up to the plate and tried to feed people who are hungry, and i'm grateful for places like not bread alone who does a great job in terms of providing food to people. i sat down with a president of a university and faculty and members of their campus kitchen. they actually have a food bank on their campus because there is a need. there are people who are going to school who do

this situation improve and that we have more expeditious enforcement of our codes particularly when we have severe blight health and safety situations. i want to really thank all the departments for participating in answering hard questions and colleagues, i want to thank you as well for your substantive participation. supervisor kim? >>supervisor jane kim: thank you, i want to thank my colleague supervisor wiener and cohen for cosponsoring this hearing. i hope we continue to have a conversation on what it would mean to have a unified response around code enforcement. it's certainly frustrating for residents to have a number of inspectors to view 1 unit and for small businesses when they are getting inspection permits. what can be challenging is when there are different interpretations when a case has been an abated or not. my most concern is obviously the health and safety of our residents and the abatement when it's truly abated. i called for a hearing last tuesday in regards to follow up on the situation last year as to how things are going with the inspection on that piece and how cases are going on that an

that passed this section of the administrative code section 15.104 which authorizes dph to enter into an agreement with basically a cooperative united health care systems that then in turn contracts with innovation to do the negotiations. now, in the very language of that administrative code section dp h is required to agree to united health -- uhc's terms and conditions. so it was a measure passed by the board. obviously the board could revisit that language. i think as dave woods indicated on behalf of dph that if certain pieces and information are made public, we definitely would lose our ability to leverage better prices. even prime vendors would be reluctant to act on our behalf because of another locality could point to san francisco as being able to acquire a certain price and a certain drug and manufacturers would start to back out of negotiations. so it's something again that the board could look at. bus there are disadvantages. >> when was that code? >> i believe 1997. >> do you know if our predecessors were aware of the implications of not being able to view the prices? >> i don't know. i can look into it. >> from my standpoint,
