we had a very interesting letter from the landlord group, the san francisco apartment association, and the owner has actually been a longtime member of the apartment association and knows this owner well. this was strongly worded from charlie goss. this letter is to inform you your building requires a modernization to its elevator. if problems persist, they could civil section 1941.1. given mobility, it's important you address this as soon as possible. this is from a group that know this is particular owner. there were questions also about the cost and the idea of displacing people was raised at the last hearing. i looked up -- we did some more research into modernization of elevators. this chart lists about 15 to 20 components of an elevator, including the cab and the shaft, the lobby and the machine room. all but five of these components can be restored by modernizing the elevator. there's only five that would require a full replacement. now, i met with the owner after the last hearing. we have not heard back from the owner since the last hearing, but we did just talk a little bit be
