my name is jerry dradler and i've been working to reduce the reduction of unpermitted housing demolition in san francisco. i've filed two whistle blower complaints on the failure of the department of building inspection to enforce demolition without permit. in both instances, the department of building inspection issued demolition permit after the property owner removed the building, so it's clear the building removal met the building code criteria for a demolition without a permit. d.b.i. failed to enforce the penalty enumerated in the section 1038.3. if the penalty on the n.o.v. was consistent with the building code requirement, a very basic compliance audit. one of my complaints was referred to the city attorney, and the second complaint, 655 alvarado was closed. when i sent an e-mail inquiring on the status of 655 alvarado, the response i received, and this is a quote, appropriate action was taken and the whistle blower program now considers your complaint closed. the answer is incompetent consistent with the mission of the city services auditor, which is to promote transparency and
