and there's a wonderful picture of the inspector joe duffy in our annual report. i couldn't get one of you smiling. i'm sorry. [laughter] i looked. but -- >> [off mic] >> okay. >> scott's appearance is now outdated. >> yes, yes. so on page 12, we see that there were 21 appeals filed of zoning administrator decisions. and those were mixed between if you turn the page, you can see that 33 percent were letters of determination. and 29 percent were suspension revocation requests. those were the bulk of the decisions. let me see moving on. and if we move onto -- yes? >> [off mic] >> thank you. where? >> [off mic] >> okay. i know. thank you. page 13. okay. i will fix that. thank you. you have an eagle eye. she does. let me see. so moving on, let me see. i don't have my page numbering correct. so if you look on page 17, we talk about the number of appeals from public works. and you can see 39 appeals were filed. 25 were at the wireless box permits. 12 were related to the tree removal. so we have yet to see what will happen with the new legislation with the changes to art

>> joe duffy, d.b.i. i will be accompanied this evening by the chief building inspector. we do have -- he will be doing a powerpoint presentation on this and i have copies at the powerpoint here if you'd like copies of them. there is around 20 copies. >> is this what we receive this afternoon by e-mail? >> thank you. >> did the other side get them as well? >> okay. and if anyone else wants them. that is fine. is my clock going? >> one moment, please. you will have 14 minutes. >> i will make an opening statement and then the chief inspector hernandez. >> go ahead, mr. duffy. >> numbers of the board quickly here to talk about the project purchased in june of 2018. d.b.i.'s position regarding the property has remain unchanged since our initial complaint inspection on also time or 207 th, 2019. we want the permits to reflect the actual conditions of the address and the work that has been performed. we received a complaint about the property and responded to that complaint. we found the work had been completed but it was not on the permits, including but not limited to windows

joe duffy, dbi. the permit under appeal is a commencement of work not started under a previously permit, soft story retrofit under 34b engineering criteria including plywood walls, simpson walls. this is a renewal permit. so back in 2016 went through a process took them about a week to get the permit. and it was maybe $1,000 valued for the soft story retrofit. they got the permit and didn't start the work. the permit got approved until the contractor was chosen until the building got sold. and then the permit could have been issued in which case the plot wasn't -- but the permit gets issued, 360 days to complete the work. i don't know what happened in between that time. but then when they came back in 2019 as you heard the option is a renewal permit which is appealable which is why we have an appeal. the extensions on the permits, this permit would have extended for a number of years. we just don't -- they have to write a letter to say why they start the work. so that didn't happen. that would have e

joe duffy dbi. maybe i should get to the assessor's records first. because i was going to interrupt mr. sanchez. i actually printed the printout from the assessor's office and if i could have the overhead i'll show you that. so whenever we go to the permit tracking system, we need to find out where our dbi does the mailing to and we pick this from the assessor's records. you can see that there's two owners here susan kearney, east third avenue san mateo and there's a phillip, 166 san francisco. so dbi would use that address for the notification which was a notification which we did in fact send to 166 street so that's pretty typical of what we do. the permit itself, i didn't see any issues with the building end of it anyway. i went through the proper processes and from reading the brief, just on the property line windows, they're obviously non-conforming property line windows existing. and they are opening onto a general outline. so they're probably from back many years ago. i don't know how long. but when someone builds next to you and you have a pr

official michael duffy for the freeze on military aid to ukraine just 90 minutes after the july phone call in which trump urged ukrainian president to investigate former vice president joe biden schumer demanding duffy's testimony if there was ever an argument that we need mister duffy to come testify. this is that information. >>this e-mail is explosive yet. republicans remain reluctant to criticize any part of trump's conduct. >>presidents make mistakes i don't know if this call was a mistake, but again i think there are plenty of mistakes have been made by both president obama and president trump that regarding the ukraine. >>that was motto. reporting for us tonight when the trial eventually does start the focus will be on whether for republicans we'll break ranks and vote with democrats to compel witness testimony and no one is revealing how they will vote has yet and even one in a politically tough race joni ernst a republican is telling cnn that. >>she did not want to hear from mick mulvaney or john bolton. >>we've got mostly clear skies and cold temperatures coming our way up we could be talking about snow locally. we'll have more on that coming up and details on

joe biden. schumer demanding duffy's testimony. >> if there was ever an argument that we need mr. duffy to come testify, this is that information. this email is explosive. >> reporter: yet republicans remain relukt abts to criticize any part of trump's conduct. >> president's make mistakes and i don't know if this call was a mistake and there have been plenty of mistakes regarding ukraine. >> reporter: when the trial starts the focus is on whether four republicans will break ranks and vote with democrats to compel witness testimony but no one is revealing how they'll vote yet. and even one in a potential tough race johnny ernst didn't want to hear from mick mulvaney or bolton, saying that should be the house's job. >> that is an interesting revelation right there. thank you. appreciate it. >>> as we look at where we stand, john avalon, the emails released do offer some new insight into how the aid was withheld and ultimately released. what do they change? >> well it is a question of whether republicans will recognize facts as being something that are important to any decision they

joe and alison, back to you. >>> mike duffy was the appointee responsible for overseeing national securityoney. he's defied a subpoena from the impeachment panel. but senate democrats still want him to testify. >> this e-mail is explosive. a top administration official, one we requested, saying stop the aid 91 minutes after trump called zelensky and said keep it hush hush. what more do you need to request a witness? >> the senate will only begin a trial once nancy pelosi sends the articles of impeachment to the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. and she is withholding them until mcconnell and democratic leader chuck schumer reaches an agreement that pelosi thinks will result in a fair trial. but a top white house official doesn't think that pelosi can maintain that position. >> we're confident that this position is untenable and she's going to move it along. and the house will proceed in the senate. >> you think that she'll eventually -- >> she will yield. there's no way she can hold this position. >> assuming the senate does get the case, one moderate democrat is raising concerns. se

official michael duffy told the pentagon to withhold aid from ukraine, july 25th, an hour and a half after president trump asked ukraine's president to investigate former vice president joe biden. both sides are still digging in. >> the charges are pretty thin gruel. i don't see anything impeachable in that. >> if there was ever an argument we need mr. duffy to come testify, this is that information. this email is explosive. >> reporter: president trump has no public schedule, but was actively tweeting through the weekend, including writing "the dems just wish it would all end." scott macfarlane, nbc news, washington. >>> still no arrest in the stabbing death of the younger brother of 49ers backup quarterback c.j. beathard. >> wow, 1997 he was born, 22 years old, just 22, clayton beathard was killed after a fight outside a nashville bar early saturday morning. "today in the bay's" sharon katsuda joins us live and she's tracking the latest. hi, sharon. >> good morning. well, there was so much celebration after the game but then a somber meeting afterwards. in the locker room, after saturday's home game, niner coach kyle shanahan talked about the loss. nashville police say

>> two things, even sean duffy, not particularly comfortable with what's going on right now in rudy giuliani world. not a lot of republicans are. second point, democrats like joet who was here suggested what this shows is that there is no sanction on the president for the actions that took place. the effort to get ukraine involved in the u.s. election. if there are no sanctions, what you'll see is more of what we're seeing today. people like rudy giuliani working on behalf of the president to stir up trouble like this. >> i think one of the most revealing comments of this whole controversy is the president saying at the white house, i guess a couple of months ago now, that china should start an investigation of biden, too. that the president believes that his political interests are identical to the national interest of the united states. so he is allowed to use his power, not to advance anything except the re-election of president trump. that's what rudy giuliani is doing. that's what the president thinks is appropriate. and that's what in significant ways this impeachment is all about. whether the president is allowed to use $390 million of taxpayer money as
