it later this 3 r was not legalized because of the suspend rot if you have an address you're an legal unit the purchase of cf c was to legalize the unit by each side if you don't believe me ask our chief housing inspector. >> thank you i'm sorry see is there anyone else for public comment that has not spoken already okay seeing none, public comment is closed and i'm going to go straight to commissioner walker any at commissioners after that. >> commissioner walker please. he definitely needs all of those those unite to be legalized we have a process for it the department is happy to explain to people i encourage that this owner takes the proper actions to actually legalize this unit and i think your department will bend over backwards to do that i'm censured about the precedence we lay on this case if we allow misrepresentation on police station to determine the occupancy of a building so i feel like what we did is problematic in the first place of relying on that without improperly looking at the history of that building to issue the late cf c inappropriately i feel like the department di

>> no we believe that the unit is legal. >> that's your position. >> we met with the planning department and the planning department agreed that the new process that the mayor's office has created new ordinances that have been impacted for streamlining illegal units were probably not applicable that is an rh3 that allows for units there are the process that was created was designed when you had non-conforming in-laws where more unites were lauded u allowed they provided tenants that would give up right and the owner has elected to go to the board of appeals that is certainly an option i'll ask if the this commission is considering forcing think outside the box 0 the owner this is something the compilation follows they'll seriously consider to emancipation proclamation revoke the cf c and make that be suspended as opposed to revoked we have a problem with that the permit was suspended it is unclear why the department indicted to suspend the permit it seems logically if we're invited into a path that the permit would have been suspended and the cf c would have been suspended with the path

a unit that was created outside a dwelling unit only that a kitchen has been installed into so should the commission like us to go in the directions of legal listing the unit we'll hope to be granted a continuance today and be able to get the application on file and at this point the legalization ordinance puts the appeals process on hold until the completion of that and assuming we continue to the end the appeal gets dropped we're on to the commission if it was felt the moratorium was more appropriate it is a zoning district that typically allows one unit but because of the ordinance we can increase it to two this unit was in existence prior to 2013 we want to get this resolved in a way that keeps mrs. williams mother in a space downstairs and defer to the commission which way they prefer we go. >> commissioner walker. >> thank you. i think that at this junk you are which way you want to go. >> that's not our position your telling us which way to approach it. >> the leg shin process is interesting there's been a number of applications it's not been really a planning issue with those cases but planning recognizes if it's been in existence

section 317 or to the mayor's executive directive which applies to building which has existing legal units three or more, and this has come up many times before, i wanted to reiterate that for everyone's benefit. certainly the second unit could be legalized either through normal process because it is an rh2 zoning district or 2003.7 of the planning code which allows legalization of such units and reduces the process that's needed. that's not to say the process is simple and straightforward, there are building code righters that need to be met. whether that is easier or not for this unit, i would defer to senior building inspector joe duffy i know we have a copy of the plans here. while it is not summating to 317 or the executive directive one item of note which i think is important and is new information i just was able to share this with the permit holder this evening and the appellant i think may not be aware of this, although i think they probably should be but on november 10th of last year, mr. merchant did file a bbm request which is a black book notification request, it was entered i

the fees have been september and my client as rented the property in reliance on that unit in the rear being a legal dwelling unit it is unlawful to rent a unit that does not have authorization when my client saw this prior to the occupancy in 200 two or three he hired somebody to apply for a certificate of occupancy that was duly issued by the inspectors inspector were at the property in 2002 and 2003 when the permits were issued and the property at least according to the inspectors appeared to be a perfectly habitable unit why doesn't the 3 r report matter it matters because no building or structure shall be used this is section 109 point a-1 in the building code no structure shall be used or no change not clarification or portion thereof shall be made until the building official those issued a certificate and this is the important part or audits has been approved for use by the department of building inspection in this case in 2002 and 3 and then in 2004 when the 3 r report was issued my client believed that was authorized for residential use so quite to his

report says this is a single family dwelling this would normally not allow a second unit, but they may be able to legalize the unit through that process. in regards to -- some of the permit history based on our records, the permit holder purchased the propertied in march of 2004 and in april of 2004, the permit was sought to add one bedroom, one play room, two full bathrooms, one storage and laundry area on the existing ground floor that permit was completed in november of 2004 and then it sounds based on the property owner's aid mission, the illegal unit was added after the final inspection on that permit. that's all we have to say. i'm available for any questions. >> mr. sanchez, so do you have copies of the permit or the floor plan for the rooms down? >> i do not have the plan ins front of me from that 2004 permit. i don't know if the billing inspection does or if the permit holder may have it. >> i have a copy. >> so, it sounds like the permit holder's contract has that, but my assumption is that complies with the looms matrix with accessory ground floor rooms. >> although this is similar to the prior

for building department, but my assumption is it would be somewhat more straightforward to legalize the second unit the n the situation when there's legal habitable space. >> so maybe you can clarify, so if a homeowner or landlord or landowner rents rooms in their home, is that legal or -- i don't know if i'm asking the right person. >> under the planning department, it would be legal to rent rooms in your unit. the issue here is that the cooking facilities were added which then deems it to be a second dwelling unit under the planning code, but, yeah, otherwise, just renting out rooms in your house would be allowed. if there were concerns about the rent of stay, -- >> so essentially they could ko*n to rent, they would not have the benefit of the kitchen, correct? >> that is correct and i don't know what kind of access there is for above given that it was approved with full bathrooms, my assumption is there is some connection to the direct floor above which would have the cooking facilities. >> [inaudible]. >> thank you, mr. sanchez. >> inspector duffy. >> where were you and did you break that? >> h

the application doesn't support demolition of the unit, again there's no nov issued the place can be legal side, we're not talking about removal of the unit. it is appropriate to have mandatory review when housing -- rental housing is being eliminated and it's certainly appropriate when there's a change of tenure of form of occupancy, whether this is a demo eviction or a landlord move-in, discretionary review would be appropriate but again the landlord bypassed the procedure by not even providing notice of the demolition application to the tenant until after he already had his plan. i'm going to be quiet because i'm not leaving mr. bell with much time here, so that's all i'll say for the moment. >> hi i'm graham bell, i'm a teacher of the hard and has herring, i have 25 years experience, 95% that have applied for my job have quit, we started only 20 out of 5 positions and there were many children in san francisco with hearing loss would were not served. we're here because they didn't follow the law and they didn't follow dbi's process and they've been lying about it, they've offered me no

send an inspector 0 out there it's not necessarily like a checking whether or not the secondary unit is legal in its entire it we're just cheth the safety of the kitchen and then up to 10 years we're going to say we'll hold off on the enforcement. >> that's correct so the moratorium gets recorded. >> i see. >> correct. >> you can put conditions. >> that didn't happy in planning unless during the moratorium for whatever reason wanted to make it an illegal secondary unit. >> correct they'll have to do the moratorium. >> we won't have to act. >> because the board is enclosing it the board was impose certain conditions in terms of the process that's correct that the moratorium will be recorded and no action taken up to 10 years you have other conditions about it being used at a certain period so - >> commissioner lee. >> i have been writing things down so let me see the appellant sooerm has two options there's either one to give the planning department the plans so the planning department legalize the thank you very much or the second unit at the house and as soon as they submit it the work of ab
