>> only that -- to confirm that mr. duffy -- mr. duffy, would you please be prepared to provide us with -- develop a history on which came first, the chicken or the egg, i guess? or how the -- how the horse got behind the cart or any -- >> yeah, we can try to give you a report. it's going to be difficult. if the project is as far along as they're saying it is, that may be hard for me to decipher when i go there, but i can look up inspection history, i can look up the -- what went on out there and try to get some photos for you, stuff like that. >> and mr. duffy, if, in fact, just for the benefit of the project sponsor, if, in fact, what seemed to happen, which was build first, ask for a permit later, happened in a serial fashion, what -- what is the accountability towards the project sponsor, aside from whether -- how we're going to find on this current permit? >> it's a very hard question for me to answer at this point until i see what's going on. i can't answer that. i would probably -- if there was excavation done, for example, i

we just want to get this proper and right. >> if i may, mr duffy, and mr riordan can weigh into this, what you see in plans, you are comfortable going forward that it is what should be represented on the existing jobsite out there right now? and have the neighbourhood, i guess my ghost a planning, that's when the neighbourhood where to get there kind of input again, is that correct? >> it is going through a conditional use process and it didn't get through, it involved 311 dr. >> it is a complete notification. >> the region -- the reason the demolition came into commission in the planning department was because of the excavation. they counted the amount of excavation is demolition but we would not do that in our code. that is where they are coming from. so that is where i am speaking to planner jeff horn who is dealing with it. >> okay. where i am kind of round off here is that we now have a set of plans that we can go forward. on the time frame, if this was an illegal demolition would be looking at almost a five year suspension, i believe. that is the term. we are most four years now

that was for mr. duffy, choosing to pursue this appeal as a way to find a resolution. we did meet with mr. denny and mr. myaki this afternoon, but it is premature to say we are at a settlement, and i don't think that is what is before you tonight. what is before you is whether or not these permits should move forward. we want to be clear that the building has residential and commercial tenants, and it is impossible for us to complete our renovation with no impact to the residents. our permits have been properly reviewed, and are valid, and we are committed to find a solution that all party cans tolerate given there will be an end in sight hopefully in the next three months. additionally, we wanted to have the opportunity to speak with all tenants and we noticed a meeting last night and we had 27 people in attendance. at first everybody was very concerned about the construction noise, but by the end of the meeting, people were actually asking us to work longer in order to finish the construction in a more timely manner. we now know that we have a phone and an email and a

mr. duffy? thank you. >> commissioners, joe duffy. i'll be very brief. the building permits a form three. it was taken in for review. the permit was issued on the 4 of january , 2018, suspended on january 10 because of the appeal, and the addenda is still going through review, although that has been stopped pending the outcome of the appeal. i didn't hear any building code issues being brought up, some reference to earlier permits brought up, they appear to be remodel permits for apartments. they didn't look to be permits that i would have been concerned about, so i'm va available for any questions skbl ok. >> okay. is there any public comment? both of you, standup so we can keep it moving. you have three minutes. please identify yourself. >> thank you. my name is kevin b. fleenor. i'm bryan fleenor's husband am i allowed to speak? >> okay. you're a related party, so you would have to speak during his time. you can speak in rebuttal during his time if you want to. >> okay. thank you very much. >

mr. joseph duffy, dbi. >> commissioners, joe duffy, dbi. the permit under appeal is to comply with notice of violation 2017-25951 to reduce under 36 inches regarding to compliance with code section j-103, 101.5, 1046(b), and then there's a 1014, which should be 101.4. the permit was reviewed by our plumbing inspection division for approval. code enforcement, building inspection division, city planning as you heard, our building department plan check, and then central permit bureau was issued on the 20 of february 2018, completed and signed off on the 8th of march 2018, and then suspended under appeal on the 12th of march pending the appeal. the notice of violation, i'd like to read that out. that was the notice of violation was issued on the 14th of december 2017 regarding a back yard more than 3 feet in depth, and this -- this is the -- the northeast corner working surface with a vertical drop off of more than 30 inches without protection, submit a building plan with permit to address the noted building violations. so i think we heard that

teague and mr. duffy do now accurately show the existing condition and accurately show the plans for the adu's. if you look on page -- the third page, thank you bottom -- >> could you hold on one moment, mr. vettel? did you want to accept these? >> yeah. >> did you also provide the same set to the appellant? >> yes. so as the inspection's 2340e9s, the plan on the bottom of pa-- noted, the plan on the bottom of page three showed the proposed set back with a slightly smaller adu unit at that location. it also shows some changes in the openings and the shear wall to confirm the integrity of the shear walls pursuant to the plan checker's directions. and then, the third thing this plan shows is the relocation of the housing services from the area where the adu's are going into other parts of the ground floor so that we're not severing any housing services. rather, we're relocating certain of those services. you can see on the bottom plan that there are the upper left corner is a storage room that the appellant

mr. duffy, did you want to weigh in? okay. is there any public comment on this matter? okay. seeing none, commissioners, this rehearing request is submitted. >> commissioners. >> well, it's a hard bar for rehearing. it requires manifest injust or new information that was not available. the information going over that was supplied in the brief in regards to the form for the rent board, i found that it indicated acknowledgment but did not affirm or take a position. so i feel that i would not sponsor a rehearing. >> any other comments? is there a motion? >> that would be my motion to deny the rehearing request. >> okay. a motion to deny the rehearing request because -- >> there's no manifest injustice. >> or new evidence? >> right. >> on that motion, president fung. [ roll call ] >> okay. motion passes, the rehearing request, not accepted. so we will now move on to item number six. item number six is appeal number 18-045 concerning the subject property at 1599 haight street. clayton street neighbors versus san francisco public works bureau of street use and mapping for verizon w

mr duffy? >> i think we've given the permit subject to these things. if they violate that on the tenants turn that and, this is not our board's responsibility to babysit them. >> right. i want to have a discussion in a transparent fashion so that the tenants are aware that, if there are abuses of these conditions, that they know how to make comment on those potential breaches, please. >> commissioner, joe duffy, d.b.i. the normal weight is to file a complaint with d.b.i., and we look into it. it is going to be difficult, but, you know, there is no love here between these parties. you know, so there's going to be a lot of he said she said. i know that. i do it every day of the week. certainly we can treat it as a complaint and investigated. when there are noise monitors on projects, those are pretty, we can look into that. and again, i'm a little worried because of the impact to an exception. what do we do if there is an exception for it? so as long as they're not using it outside the hours of when they are supposed to, that would be something we could.

riordan and mr. duffy said that the neighbors need to be involved. for 655 alvarado and for states street. without the neighbors, they wouldn't know anything is going on. so here we go. there's more examples. i really wish that the commission and the staff would deal with the issue of h excavations. we're going to see more and more of that. >> next speaker, please. >> i need the overhead, please. good afternoon, commissioners. my name is gustavo and i'm here. thank you for having me again. i know we were just here last week. i want to start by saying i'm sorry. i know we're taking a lot of your time. but this is the only opportunity that we have to talk to you as a group. first of all, i'm sorry. i just wanted to say that i have faith in the system because i saw you guys at work last week. it was really an intense hearing. i think, you know -- i haven't seen anything like that, so i really have faith in the system because i saw you at work. i just really wanted to say thank you for that regardless of the outcome. now, i just wanted to bring a couple

mr. duffy: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. chairman, i want to thank ou for all of your work on dodd-frank reform. i think it's important we look back. when dodd-frank passed, it was passed with a blindfold over our eyes because the studies weren't even done about what the root cause of the crisis even was. democrats opened up their files and poured every bill they had dreamed of for 20 years into dodd-frank. and what did it do to my constituents? my small banks and credit unions, it made them shut their doors or made them consolidate the a bigger bank so now citizens might not be made there but in milwaukee, chicago, or minneapolis. i hear my friends talk about banks doing so well right now. yeah. because there's people who want to borrow money and the economy is so well borrowers can pay back lenders. so they make a little bit of money. i think what's pretty evident in this conversation is some of my friends would prefer that we have socialized banking like socialized health care. let the government, let the democrats across

i talk today riders and they were happy to see not only mr. duffy the police chief and other bart police officers here. what they're worried about is what will happen next week when they're not here. perhaps this is shedding light on a big problem and hopefully they can figure out how to fix it. that's the latest here at civic center. i'm frank mallicoat. mike, back to you. >> thank you, frank. >>> the question of the day is on the subject. who should bare the most responsibility for improving conditions on bart? 21% say politicians. 8% say police. 67% of you say it's bart's responsibility. 4% say someone or something else. talk to us on twitter and leave comments on the ktvu facebook page. >>> san francisco police are looking for the owner of two pit bulls that bit four people and attacked another dog at delores park. someone took a picture of this man who left the park shortly after the attack last sunday morning. the pit bulls attacked a dog blamed bloom. bloom survived but suffered puncture wounds. the observers tried to separate the animals but

time has expired. >> thank you. >> with that the chair recognizes the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. duffy, the chairman of the housing and insurance subcommittey. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and mr. quarles, welcome. it is, as my colleagues have mentioned, nice to have you here and testify before the committee. as we've complained it's been long overdue, so welcome. i first want to thank you for your ongoing work to re-evaluate the systemic risk or lack thereof of our u.s. insurance industry. thank you for that. we know you have direct oversight over the statement and holding companies and those designated by cfius by f-sock, but you have and more indirect role through international standard settings with a seat on the iais which is developing international capital standards similar to our european solvency standards so maybe first for you, do you believe that our state-based insurance regulatory model has been effective in the u.s.? >> yes. i think that over the long life of insurance regulation that has been over 100 it's been pretty effective. >> all right. so will you confirm that the
