i am a landlord. i think you have heard comprehensive testimony about how many landlords are opposed to this today. if you are really interested in giving tools to the department of public health to help in the eradication of bedbugs, then seriously consider including a tenant as a responsible person under this legislation. if you read through the legislation, making the landlord the sole responsible person insofar as bad bugs, is unworkable. as you have heard, landlords do not go through their building looking for bedbugs. in my own case, it is difficult to get the tenants to apply -- comply with proper medication measures. there are a series of information, pamphlets that we send out to get ready for the system in place. we often walk into the building with the staff that we have hired to do the work and the work is not done. it is not the landlord's fault. if you want this to be more than just another wedge issue coming from city hall, make the tenant a responsible person. i suggested this to the d

or to make the landlords for reliable. even though the most common way they are brought into the home is by tenants, i agreed that landlords should be responsible for paying for the past treatment. but those treatments don't -- do not always take care of things if the tenants do not clean things up properly and follow the instruction of the landlord or pesticide company. it becomes more complicated and it is rhonda to hold land board 100% liable and give them a fine for bedbugs, which are always, almost always, brought in by the tenant. myself, i have apartments with multiple roommates. so far, something changes and they move out to go to a different college, city, something happens, a new roommate moves in, and i allow for a change in the setting. what this does now is every time there is a change in roommates, i am now open to $1,000 per day fine if this tenant happens to have bedbugs they're bringing with them. i do not think it is here. thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. i just wanted to address two points. first

we order both the landlord and tenant to take action. but this particular ordinance clarifies that department practice in the following way. in section 580, definitions of responsible parties, we have amended the definition of responsible parties. responsible parties shall include the owner or manager or any other person having control of the property or anyone else to has ownership and fails to correct. we do not include residential tenants, but all of those categories of people, all persons could be part of those categories. i would say this ordinance does what many of the speakers have been asking to do, which is allow the department to hold multiple entities responsible for a nuisance. in fact, that is the dept.'s current practice. >> it was reported a number of times here at the podium that when there is an investigation, it always falls on the landlord. tenants are never help responsible for the conditions in their buildings. >> i do not think that is true. whether it is a fact of life of a world of property, property owners are re

we communicate with landlords on an annual basis. this would not be new communication. we would simply ask them to verify on an annual basis. the contact number for emergencies is new. we think that by contacting the responsible party to let them know that this is in contest, they will appreciate that. and that we are making this change so that contact is not 1 per unit, but rather for every building. supervisor chiu: let's go into up -- public comment at this time. if other individuals wish to testify, each speaker has up to two minutes to provide comments. supervisor avalos: i have a few cards. [reads names] please come forward. >> hello. i am a resident of the bayview hunters point district. i am here today to speak on the moisture and mildew of the bayview hunters point district and some of the conditions that some of the residents are having to deal with that are causing a health risk and hazard. i am speaking on behalf of myself because i last few years i have developed asthma, dealing with bronchial infections because of the moisture and mildew in the district. t

that's the landlord's fault? so should the landlord be find a thousand dollars a day for not fixing up these. >> that's the only way to get the money is to get them to do what they are supposed to do. >> down the street the hilton, $800 a night, has bedbugs. so it's not in every room. every time the x "terminator" comes to this room. >> reporter: just by talking to people in the same building you get different stories and views. it would be hard to pin down any particular landlord unless he or she was one of the worst and that is who this legislation is really aimed at. the measure passed its first vote today here at city hall and now goes on to the full board later next week. in san francisco, mike sugerman, cbs5. >>> popular facebook aps leaking your private information. who is questioning hold of your personal data. >>> and a push to get people, to get on board b.a.r.t., the big prizes you could win just for taking the train. >>> cheers, the different kind of brews starbucks pa reese as the have just started s

these landlords were in the minority and the landlord of cottage where nie family lived was not amonghem. rate payer books for 1848 is missing. the book for 1849 is in worse condition than the earlier books. theate book for 1849 is torn and muddy and appears to have blood stains on the pages. as if this book is telling me what happened that awful year. i search for james lacy's name and find it gone along with the other tenant and it is town lands as well. [applause] >> i think on that note i will read a poem, which is my book among other things my quest to discover the family's connection or my connection to that history. and what happens there is the pursuit and the logical seeking after those signs. those material signs baptismal records and there is happenstance. that's what happened to me once when i went to ireland i staid at a b and b. there are a zillion every other house is a b and b. i hit on the one b and beshgs where the owner said, your last name is to bein i know where all the to beins came to ireland. i said, i'm all ears. this poem goes into that and the last part is a

the landlords own knees and they did not have to pay these bonds -- the landlords own these and they did not have to pay these bonds back. san francisco has roughly six and a half billion dollar annual budget. the infrastructure is always the last thing. you wait till it crumbles rather than fixing it well over funding some other things. we don't think that those people will be charged to pay for those bonds should have to pay to retrofit privately owned buildings. >> what are the costs and benefits to san francisco citizens if this was to pass? >> this is usually about double for the bonds. a $46 million bond, this will be close to 100 million by the time they're done paying interest and everything else on it. the benefit is that the buildings are retrofitted but they should be retrofitted by income at the city has been tell -- that the city has. this is very high for any city. >> thank you. i am now with the deputy director of the urban planning and research center. why do you support this measure? >> the reason that i support the measure is that it is very difficult to think about

new legislation would allow the public health department to fine landlords $1,000 a day if those landlords fail to address the pests in a timely manner. but the legislation does allow the de trtntome hold the tenant and the landlord jointly responsible. >> we have changed flaut this case to explicitly recognize that the department can hold other people responsible other than the landlord or the property owner. some of the worst bed bug outbreaks have occurred in new york city philadelphia and detroit but the number of bed bug cases in san francisco has jumped 78% over the past four years. >> well it is the company you keep, the new security concern on facebook that may mean your h friends are putting your information at risk and don't even know it. >>> caffeine, sure, and plenty of it but starbucks gets ready to offer you a different kind of buzz as well. >>> good evening, chief meteorologist jeff ranieri, a lot of 60s from the north bay to the south bay and a cold night on tap with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. awe also a talking showers in your 7-day forecast. we will have it for you

our financial times are the same as many of the landlords, but we managed to secure these four. out of those 94, we have five, and these four before you today are first 729 filbert st., a dph location. a rent reduction of 5%. the consideration the city is giving in exchange for this is an extension of a lease of five years. 655 fifth street, dph location, that is a rent reduction, also an approximate 5%. here, we are extending the lease for one year. for the department of child services, 109 new montgomery, 617 mission, looking at an extension of two years, five months, additionally, an option to reduce our footprint at inappropriate time during the lease. that reduction is also 5%. lastly, 160 south than ness, an hsa property. there we are looking at a 5% reduction and extension of the lease for one year. the budget analyst did an excellent job summarizing the general fund element of these savings as well as the non- general fund elements. it concurs with this recommendation for approval. any questions, we also have staff from each of the affected departments. supervisor avalos
