robert davis. i'm asking now to have open director's hearings put onto the agenda at the next meeting or at a future meeting. open director's hearings, as you know, since the year 2000, over 1500 open director's hearings. and in addition to that, there are over 750 that have had a hearing. the results are in favor of the board or of the city. they've never been pushed on actually to whatever else they're supposed to go to the litigation committee or to the full commission or anywhere. so, those are all since the year 2000. again, a lot of time has passed. there must be some reasons we need to look at the process of both open notices of violation and open director's hearings. thank you. >> is there any further public comment? >> commissioner walker. >> just in response to that, maybe it's an agenda item that we could put on when we're talking about the abatement appeals process that we also talk about how to keep track of that. they're related. ~ the related director's hearings. >> do you want to pu

. >> good morning, my name is robert davis and i live in the bay view and i would like to begin by thanking the staff, inspector, sorry, acting director tom, hewy, and the rest of the staff for the demolition order and the knocking down of the orderses on third and long time coming, and it looks great and i know that it was long and hard, but, we really appreciate that. and we would like to get an update on the open notices of violation and the open director's hearings and there are 6,000 novs and it looks like someone went through and closed off the ones before the year of 2000. and i have no idea how that happened. i would like to make a comment on the open director's hearing and attending the director's hearing and a group of 15 people clouding myself went down to speak at a director's hearing about 900, and we were told at the last minute that the building owner had just decided to postpone it and we were not notified and there is no notification process for people who want to show up be heard and we would like to get a little bit of information about that building and there is a long,

. >> my name is robert davis and i am going to read you a letter from captain sullivan and he is the san francisco police department captain of the bay view station. dear president hwang, i am working to protect the citizens and hoping to recognize that the larger family supports the agency and departments when the building and construction and safety are reviewed and approved and inspected. in my review of the project at 2065 oak dale avenue, it is important that the residents and businesses near the location, were not notified of the planned demolition. and it is also come to my attention that one of my officers, sue lavenman responded to a call on this property address, during the course of non-permitted work on january 16th, 2016, the officer was dispatched to 2065 oak dale avenue. due to a report of workers at the site allegedly acting to intimidate and prevent entry to a city employee. the officer responded to attest the dbi inspector duffy who had attempted to answer the building following the complaints of the work being conducted without permit. the workers departed the scen

>>> good morning, robert davis. i'd like to thank the commission for bringing this up on the agenda. and i'd like to find out if maybe there was some way to get some suggestions from ms. boske and larry about what to do to make the system better. for example, eliminating the second notice of violation, just skipping that step completely. and for closing a notice of violation when the permit has been closeded, let's say you had an nov and you came down and got a permit for something. ~ from the data that i've seen, there are many novs that are simply not closed even though there was a permit taken out and the permit was closed. that's just sloppy paperwork. and as far as consolidating the novs, you're asking s-r-os and addresses commonality. in truth that's the way to do it. if you look at the james landing case, james glanding ~ had a decision against him by -- from the city attorney's office. i don't know what the details were exactly, but it resulted in $800,000 going to the city for i think over 100 novs. that's

>> robert davis. so this is back to the notice of violation idea that if we were to enforce the notice of violation more strongly, that much of this would not happen i think as commissioner mar mentioned a minute ago, these kitchens did not fall down in a day, the notice of violations were on the books for years. it was more pressure on the building owners and allowed the dbi to enforce the code of the notices of violation, many of these problems would go away. i don't support lending them the money, what i would say about this property and many properties like it, if you can't afford to maintain the property, especially where there are people living, you should sell it. i think that it is as basic as that. thank you. >> thank you, mr. davis. is there another gentleman there? please and state your full name. >> my name is john freberg i have been with the housing rights committee and involved as a counselor since the mid 80s. i just wanted to give you a more ground view of what i do in relationship to

implications of this case and what it means for you and i mr garcia's lawyer robert corner of ear who is a partner with davis right treatment l.l.p. and he joins me now thanks for having me so can you begin by breaking this case down for us what's the what's the controversy with it well the controversy is that you have a journalist filming police activity on a public street and gets arrested for it and as you say we do trust our police officers to protect us from from danger and in the vast majority of cases they do but in certain instances they either don't know or or are confused about the state of the law and this unfortunately is one of them where they get upset that they're being filmed either by a journalist or by a private citizen and then take action to stop that form either by simply stopping the incident from happening happening busting that person which is what happened in this case and i understand that he was thirty he was thirty feet away from the police officers and then when they shined a spotlight on him he moved back to a. so it's not a question of whether or not he was interfering and this
