but the law allows landlords to extend that period without limit. for example, one project you'll hear about in district 3 threatens to displace four long-term households, most of them seniors, for at least a year without any increase insistence or offer of replacement housing. and there are many such evictions pending city-wide, as well as in the northeast corner of the city, and as you'll see on his heat map i'll wave at us colleagues, there is a header map that is happening in the city, and they happen throughout the city, but are concentrated in districts 3and 6, and there have been so far 400 of them since 2017. so given the challenges of finding housing for even those at the top of the income scale, for many working families and retired seniors, a temporary capital improvement eviction notice is a disaster and often leads to -- just the threat of them can force buyout situations. so the proposal that is for you would make tenants facing capital improvement evictions eligible for inclusion in a new tiers for displaced tenants. with this reform,

this is another loophole we are seeing landlords exploding. >> reporter: the landlord and owner of the building would not talk to us for the story. neither what her lawyer. they are hoping the conversion confusion clears up. and the ordinance passes so they may have a chance to stay. >> the only thing i have left is to leave. if i cannot afford rent, we will end up on the streets. >> reporter: city council member has been trying to pass an ordinance that would put in place detections from the tenants in the small buildings that have undergone the condo conversions for several years. it has yet to take place. he is hoping that will change this fall. the mayor talked about this problem in 2016 saying tenants in the small buildings deserve protection. the ordinance is expected to be introduced in the next couple of weeks. >> you did a good job of talking about the fact these are four or fewer units. small buildings. i remember a time when this was a good idea. tenants had a chance to buy their apartment. and make it there condo. >> not anymore. >> exactly. that is the problem with a lot o

landlords must live on their property from one year to three years before they can evict tenants. some landlords think the protections are overreaching.>>> mother and her two children are selling at a shelter in the city of richmond, this was no ordinary rental units, the family that was living in a tiny 100 square- foot storage shed did not have a permit. this is not the first time the landlord has been warned about renting out the shed.>> reporter: bags and suitcases are packed, containers filled and stacked up, everything that susanna shares with her 2 small children are ready to haul away from their tiny 100 square-foot shed.>> i'm not going to a shelter with my children because the owner has evicted us. >> reporter: they moved into the shed on april 1 but out ov after a building inspector issued a notice to vacate because the shed is not permitted. we took a look inside. >> reporter: after the election she contacted an attorney. >> there is no workable windows and the temperatures were getting really hot and very cold, there's no insulation. and there is no carbon monoxide de

under the eviction ordinance, the landlord can only evict you for just causes. the landlord cannot do so for non-payment of use and the illegal use of the unit. and it's to prevent evictions and to keep people housed. however, there are thousands of units, individuals, families, who are not granted those same protections simply because they are in a building built after 1979. for these tenants the landlords are not required to state a reason for evicting them. the protections as they are now are arbitrary and they leave thousands without protection. so what i'm proposing is simple and to expand just cause protections to buildings built after 1979. and no one should have to live in fear of an arbitrary eviction and i look forward to the continuing discussion when the legislation is introduced next month. the second item that i have is i'm introducing a resolution declaring a public health crisis on our streets caused by drug overdoses. the open drug use and overdose deaths in our city are absolutely devastating and are increasing at a terrifying rate. people in o

i am very lucky that i have a landlord who chose to turn my payment in investment.i applied to expand my space in september of 2018. my space is 700 square feet next door to me and i am still in permitting. a lot of this is because it stopped when the historical society decided to -- i'm trying to think of the correct words here -- flag my gates, which my landlord put up, to protect myself and my business due to the homeless situation. we weren't made aware of the pause on the permitting for a few months. we still have permitting through january. it is a change of use. but if i didn't have a landlord who found out a pop-up tenant who would rent month-to-month, there is no way i would be considered. i love san francisco, but i don't really even want to expand anymore. even though it will help my business, it will double my revenue, i don't know if i want to. i just got approved for a loan to buy property, a bar, and i'm looking outside of the city, it's disheartening, the efforts we have to make. i don't want to crap on the system. i want to help. if there is anythin
