permit, we feel so strongly we would like to invoke the plea used by supervisor quentin cop to jim lazarus [inaudible] our reasons are two-fold since the accidental collapse of most of the old building at 125 crown terrace, the city has allowed and they demanded work be done which has created terrible visual blight. that's the concrete has been poured and walls of the portions and the walls of the portion of the 60 year-old building which did accidentally collapse are stacked at the site. second the portion of the building which did not accidentally collapse has been moved to a steep portion of the lot, put up on blocks and held only with a thin cable in a severe earthquake, it will fall into great stone below and crash into the homes on the other side of gray stone. the city has imposed these conditions on us for 14 months. certain of our residents are considering suing the city for relief in the form of demanding the issuance of the building permit which both the planning commission at a dr hearing and you of the board of appeals approved unanimously. noteworthy is the fact that steve wi
