mr. o'reardon's presentation where he said this was what 3 feet is. i was walking up states street, and i think i was meeting with mr. parks the day that the next-door neighbor came running out and saying my house is cracking, they're digging next door to me this big hole, and i walked right by the house, and i said, building inspections department. call them. if there's something wrong, they'll come out and red tag. that was december 2014. i don't know if it was her that called or not, but she may have went in and called. we've approved demolitions after the fact of honest to goodness mistakes. we've had a couple of them where a woman out in the avenues, she exceeded the scope of work, they knocked the house down, we truly believed that it was a one-off. we did one in cole valley where the contractor pulled the wrong beams out, and the thing collapsed, and we believed them. this, to me, is not one of those kinds of examples where, you know, okay we'll hold our breath and we'll do this and we'll legalize it. so i move to disapprove the conditional use
