and regarding be inconsistent i's and in response belief they claimed they wanted to make this unit legal and not remove it from how's about if the past as submitted from our brief exhibit one the january 13th letter says they want to demolish the unit and want to evict the tenants by march 31st to begin don't guess on the first so over the phone we're not able to deal with the xhifkts they still remain that's the question here rachel fox i have mr. alyssa here with me and he's basically limited in his english but here to say that he was told to move out rent is not collected since december of 2014 and he's been told that his partner is fidgety and should move out and the rent will remain the same glenda a has lived in the property for the last 3 years we have behavior including not accepting rent consistent with the letter that was sent by the other lawyer stanley chin to move out by march 31st we're in favor of the unit remaining in how's we reached out to john chow the partner to try to work something out first of all, we're not aware the unit a one illegal the no notice of violation t

this is a dwelling unit so they're not trying to legalize the dwelling unit then technically the tenants are evicted that's why this permit should be revoked and i was confused of the presentation they brought the permit to see if they could legalize it bring it up to code it moefrd out i don't see how this permit shows it is legal or legally clearly it would make that illegal watt a kitchen that would no longer be a rental unit because the kitchen is gone and required we're asking you revoke this permit and let them start over they're not - they're asking i uphold the permit to remove of kitchen. >> ms. fox were there tenants in that space before your owner. >> it looks like a unit that's been used for many, many years i want to point out the front area is now it discuss the bedroom that's separate and apart from the unit where they lived when with you walk in there's a coordinator to the backyard and a separate door it leads into their unit so they're not complexity or near each other either. >> thank you ms. tongue. >> for the presidio al

department i mean, i'll you been brief it is an rh2 district based on the record it appears that are two legal units this is a third unit that is unpermitted awhile it's to the subject to the mayors directive for a mandatory discretionary review they can see the charge it is unclear if this is investigated but beyond that the planning department and the planning code not require the dr for this but the building inspection may have no more information. >> i have a question mr. larkin's ever since now assemblyman chow are there plans for our department to add or change some of the cases to be consulted. >> the legislation from supervisor chiu allowed for the legalization of unit it didn't require that it is something that is available to people and that certainly will be something they can look at here it's a joint process you have to meet the building code requirements as part of legalization process large parts of code were exempted from the process you didn't have to have density exposure, etc. so the building inspection has a bit of a problem in some cases not ceiling clearance or existing require

crucial >> through the chair well, i think that is issue here is whether this has been approved as a legal unit to be lived in i think our director has initially issued the cf oshlgs and seeing there is no approval four a residential unit i feel like the if i look at the declaration of the previous owner since it fell after 19 not under rent control. >> and we don't know the exact date it was a gardening shaky owned it and sold it without permits no permits attached the issue for me this was done without going through the proper channels we don't have the jurisdiction the right, the responsibility to grant approval of something at dbi it is a mr. haney issue so i think regardless of what the agreement has been made i appreciate that total to see the tenant and the landlord have agreed to go forward we can't bypass needing the planning approval for this project so i feel like it didn't matter there of the an agreement the fact is there you go no legal approval. >> commissioner mar is it okay mr. sacking. >> honorable commissioner, i building ear very eustatement city attorney made clear they've

you'll have a house enencumbered by the tenant they'll preceded to sell the how is it is is a legal or let me unit. >> they could seek to legalize the unit. >> so then they can sell it enencumbered by itself legal unit. >> or seek legalization. >> from my point of view that's where we are whether we go with an let's resolve this today so we don't send it back to - for the inevitable to happen i'm spewing u suggesting an illegal shortcut. >> commissioner, i see our analysis i would repetitive it a little bit differently in that the permit was before this board for a review weeks ago and the planning commission issued the dr before the commission before at this point in time and the commission voted by default to uphold the permit but essentially your arguing you could go the long way it's been before the commission and for the review commission by default disagreed with the planning commission at that point in time i'll reach the same conclusion. >> but tonight's proceedings is under a different standard so tonight the board it charged with surveying whether the planning commission record. >> what

that have been taken by the department of health that give the same strength to illegal units and legal unit and provide the opportunity to legalize them i ask you to do this if the planning department or a building inspection needs better decision this is a good process for them instructed as to notification and going forward any plans to change the required notification and i actually other our litigation month to month without disclosing anything confidential i've made a request to the district attorney's office to ask to notify tenants when there's a demolition for illegal or legal the group is looking at percentage but our derivatives from the planning department allow for this jurisdictional review thank you. >> is there any additional public comment. >> please use the microphone. >> i'm john with the housing rights community for 24 years i've seen too many cases like this and it seems like the city is taking a position to address the consequences of being prosperous and having new tenant coming in the city if there is a way to facilitate that it is one small step and we will appreciat

the history and the mission of the occ, organizational developments, our budget, investigations, legal unit, and information technology. the history and the mission of the occ is that it was created by a board of supervisors initiated charter in 1982. the occ became fully staff and operational in 1983. it is under the jurisdiction of the police commission, not a part of the police department but part of the police department's budget. the mission of the occ is to investigate civilian complaints and impartially and we make recommendations on police practices provided by charter, and in terms of promptness of investigation. in 2007 the city controller issued a highly critical report of the occ prior to my beginning and -- the title of the report was poor case staff management degrade the quality of occ investigations. one of the find negligence that report was that best practices for investigators is 16 cases per investigator, but in in 2007 the case load ranged from 20 to 45. that's still not the case but the case load is i will outline a little bit later is still too high. for 2014-15 under
