last year in november i housed one the shotwell street fires on shotwell and 16th and we had 5 familymembers crowded into a one bedroom because there is no other housing to support the people who are getting displaissed. last weekend we lost 20 families lost their homes and i'll be housing just someone moved out and have a vacancy, but i ont have one. there are 20 families actually who need housing so we need to definitely go with prevention. one way to present it is you do your inspections mpts we have here and y asked under the freedom information act the 22 and mission fire inspection report. se, there were no working fire alarms reported year after year after year. 2013, another 22 in 2015, what happened to 2014 inspection? there were no working fire alarms 5 year straights and no penaltiess or corrections, nothing. a inspection reported the fire extinguisher was supported in 20 o7. that doesn't make sense. mising ix tinshuishing in 2009 and 10. the blocked access with the language saying what they are blocked with year after year starting in 2009 until the fire killed one tenant

this is the shotwell street fire. that's on my for good i just drove by there today. you see it's open. you see it's not secured, and that's exactly why the 22nd and mission fire went up for the fourth time the other day. i don't understand where the building upon and cannot they tag this and force them to secure this building, because there, if you notice, next to it is a habitable place. those people are are at risk this place goes up again. not to mention, we don't have any housing to put those people. so, the five number family stayed in my one-bedroom apartment because they had no other place. they were not hotel and getting kicked out. they were through thanksgiving and i was trying to get them a place by christmas. then our place in the bayview. they are secure, but the building, this building, those people that rent control housing stock that's missing did i think the building department that could do something about this. the fire department, it's re: burn. it's not nurse jurisdiction is now in yours. i also want to say i do highly support this legislation. i
