ryan patterson, the attorney for the property owner. commissioners, this is a hard case. this saturday was veterans day and i think we're all in agreement today that if there is a way to legally save these units, that that should happen. no matter what we think of what judy woo did. we're effectively dring staff's request along side with the tenants. we're on the same page as the tenants. we're trying to save the housing units. as it turns out, there is a way to save these homes. legally. if you remove the extra stoves, the only issue, the reason staff says it can't be done is because of the rooms down matrix, places can't be independently accessible and have sinks. it's a policy interpretation. it's not law, it's not code. you have the authority not to apply it. it's just the guideline for staff and the commission is not bound by it. i want to thank you forgiving time for our experts to do the property by property analysis. they have developed a list of code upgrades for each property to ensure safe quality housing. >> jeremy shaw, i'll go over one of the subject propert
