i'm peter louie, the respondent. i'd just like to point out a few things that i failed to do in my brief. this is the -- the notice of violation that i first received after the appellant's complaint, and it clearly states on the corrective action that a permit is not required and so that's the reason why a permit was not taken in the beginning. i would also like to show this picture. this is the appellant's property, his wall, right here.
