supervisor olage >> yeah, i just wanted to thank everyone for coming out. i wanted to mention that, as i commented earlier, the language before you is significantly different from the original language i introduced over the summer, which provided for damages and additions to the list of harassment. it was significantly watered-down in part because there was major push back from i think the apartment association and others and through the mayor's office and so we worked with the mayor's office, the city attorney and the rent board to get this to a place where it was more, in a place where we could provide some protection against harassment to tenants but not at the level that we originally had hoped to place something on the ballot. so we did pull that measure from the ballot, worked with again the rent board, the city attorney, and the mayor's office to come up with language that we felt was more acceptable but still provided some basic protections to tenants who in a city where it is one of the most expensive rental markets possibly in the world, certainly

supervisor olage will come back for item 3, i believe. thank you. miss miller, please call item 1. >> item 1 is a resolution overturning the department of public works recommendation for disapproval and granting permission to encroach on the public right of way at 10niantic avenue. >> thank you, we have a rep from the department of public works. >> 10 nianic is a project that is very interesting in scope. they were issued a building permit around 2005 for the construction of a single unit building. at that point i would like to provide you with this overhead. at that point the building permits show a property line that is in this initial triangular section as you can see here. and the building permit was approved by review by planning along with the building department. we received the package for the improvements right of way and proceeded with the review. we were informed afterwards that in 2000 as part of another development, title was acquired for this hatched portion of the public right of way and transferred to the city as public right of way.

so, miss miller, could you please see -- oh, here is supervisor olage so, supervisor olage, item no. 3 has been called and on our hearings on tenant allegations of land lord harassment to recover possession of the tenant's unit. supervisor. >> colleagues, before you is a proposed ordinance which would amend admin code chapter 37, the residential rent stablization and would add a new section, 37.9, which would lay out an administrative procedure for whenever a tenant submits a report alleging wrongful attempt to recover possession of the tenant's unit to the rent board. this procedure is outlined on page 16 of your packet. it would require the rent board to send a notice of receipt and a summary of the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants regarding possession of and eviction from residential rental units to any tenant who has filed a report of alleged harassment. it also allows the executive director of the rent board to schedule an investigative hearing on the allegations before a board administrative law judge where both the tenant and the land lord may appear to mak

olage said, this has been different, this is different than the original version but i think that it's a step in the right direction. the last thing i'll say about it really quick is that currently the way that tenants get their issues addressed is through a lawyer and there aren't a lot of attorneys out there who are trying to take individual cases about harassment. most attorneys want a class action lawsuit for any sort of tenant-land lord issues. i'm out of time. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors, my name is bart murphy, i'm a san francisco rent board commissioner for the last 17 years. i'm a san francisco landlord. i am asking you to continue this matter to the call of the chair, not that i or other people might be specifically opposed to the issue, it's just that it's come up, i would suggest that the committee or the proposer to the committee is rushing their fences somewhat in putting this on for today with a referral to the full board tomorrow and that this matter would benefit from some consideration both at the rent board commission and further discussio

supervisor olage has long been invested in this issue just like the rest of us who are also invested in it, and this ordinance needs to pass regardless of politicking about it, regardless of when it's presented, where it's presented, it needs to be passed. that's all i have to say, thank you. >> dear members of the land use and economic development committee, my name is lucia kimbell and i coordinate the office for household justice formerly known as st. peters household committee. we provide counseling to tenants for over 25 years now, a bilingual tenants. i'm here to urge your aye vote. our office takes on cases of landlord harassment every day and the level of harassment our client base confronts is egregious, both in person and over the phone to threats and actual physical assault. prop m that was so hard fought and won in the aftermath of the first dot com boom, especially with support of supervisors like yourself are being undermined by this increased harassment especially in a moment where further tech jobs threatens further displacement of san francisco low income tenants esp
