they're going to get sick of me popping their sprinklers. >> what's popping their sprinklers? >> that's when you tie a string inside the hole in the sprinkler system and you pull it and water comes out and the alarms go off and you hear all over the prison, doot, doot, doot, the lights flashing and the water is then pouring out. i've never seen so much water come out of one little sprinkler. you can fill up a cell in like ten minutes. like an aquarium. like a huge block of water from going out the door. that ain't a bad idea either. >> he tends to feel there's a major miscarriage of justice against him and wants to get transferred to another facility where he's not going to go because he creates so many problems and he's a behavioral issue so they're not going to take him as a transfer because of the way he acts. >> thank you, mr. gomes. >> i'm not doing five years here. that's the bottom line. they're going to transfer me out of here or they'll take me out in a body bag. one way or another. >> looking at a bunch of dirty pictures isn't the same as molesting a child. >> the al

of the life safety issue with having sprinklers in a building. i don't think i had anything else. >> thank you. mr. sanchez is indicating he has nothing further to add unless you have questions for him. commissioners, the matter is submitted. >> commissioners, that was a very extensive brief gone over on a sunday afternoon. the issue here is how do we review the overall performance of this building with respect to the permit and the allegations that were raised and not to get mired perhaps in a couple of items, was going to use the term minor, but perhaps it's not so minor to certain people. and the question of what rises then to a point that needs to be addressed in future construction documentation and future deliberations between the project sponsor and the building department. first is based on my own experience, i believe that the issues raised with respect to the exiting systems by the appellant are incorrect. i am supportive of the permit holders' position on that and what the code states. there may be some minor adjustments later, certain

just like the sprinkler systems. they are usually located along a fire escape ladder way, platform system. the fire department does use them to approach emergency situations in buildings. >> this is interesting on who's checking them. in san francisco for residential units and motels and hotels, the housing inspection division is required to check every 5 years to do an inspection of the buildings. and the procedures have changed to require they operate the fire escape when they do that inspection. have you gone to those where they require to operate the fire escape? >> absolutely. we got the call from a property owner saying they have been sited or requested by a housing inspector. we will inspect the fire escape before maintenance and do maintenance repairs. i feel confident that the fire escapes are safe. ask we will provide a certificate. that describes what we found and what we didn't. so far, that has been approved by the fire department >> all exterior balconies of wood have to be certified by an architect or

and the plans don't call for full sprinklering. there is a series of violations of the emergency escape and rescue provisions under building code section 1026.1 and that's where -- you got it? that section says the openings that are required shall open directly into a public way or to a yard or court that opens to a public way. the word is directly. now most of us understand what that means. a line from here to there without a lot of interference or obstacles. it's not over the woods -- over the hill and through the woods to grand mother's house. and yet if you look at these plans there is no such opening as required for all of the various improvements. now, it's possible that dbi could have made an equivalency determination. the code allows for that, as you know. the equivalency determination has 3 parts. it starts with an application, followed by a determination that, yes, indeed, the building plan actually has protections that are equal to the protections in the building code that we're not going to enforce, even though the stat

and then the sprinkler head is actually protected to where, an inmate, like inmate wagner broke the sprinkler head, activating it. this one they can't get to it. >> for now, wagner will live under the prison's most restrictive conditions in the close management unit, but staff say even that is no guarantee he's under control. >> troy wagner has a fairly extensive disciplinary history, probably close to 50 charges. sex acts, several counts. destruction of state property, disorderly conduct, disobeying regulations, mail violations, disrespect to officials, refusing to work, fighting, telephone violations, tampering with safety devices, participating in disturbances, assault or attempted assault on staff. yes, ma'am, mr. troy wagner has a quite lengthy disciplinary history. >> wagner says his latest outburst was prompted by his desire to be moved to another housing unit. he says other inmates were harassing him because he is a sex offender. >> the best thing is to keep it to yourself and not tell somebody what you're in prison for, because you tell people what you're in prison for, then they go

and the project does provide sprinklers in the rear addition. at the same time dbi also determined because the front portion of the house is not affected by the building, building code 33.01 applies. that says the portion not being altered are not required to comply with the building code for the new structure. it is quite ironic that this appeal lays claim to safety issues because the entire purpose of the fentons project is to make their home child friendly for their baby and toddler and it is abundantly clear in all of the instances that are raised that the city correctly applied the building code in every instance and 91 of the appellants a objections have merit. we respectfully request this board uphold these permits and deny this appeal. our team is here to answer any questions you may have. thank you for your time and consideration of this matter tonight. >> councilor, you have provided a fairly extensive permit history in your brief. are there any nov's? >> not that i'm aware. >> issued against this property. >> no, not that i'm aware of

are going to be dealing with the possibility of having to walk tlau through a garage that's not sprinklered, even though a lot of residential fires begin in a garage, and they don't have the access out the back that is clearly what they are supposed to have and is clearly required by the code. so that's point 1. and in and of itself it is sufficient to require that this permit be set aside or sent back for further analysis and study. second, there was a roof deck that was built in 2008 without a permit. under your code, a roof deck is treated as habitable space making it a 5-level building without sprinklering in violation of code 5 stories above two basements, and we filed a formal complaint about this --. >> mr.

there's a permit from 1982 that says we're going to install sprinklers in the basement, makes no mention of any other purpose for this basement. we have a pest control report from 2007 that says they couldn't even enter the space because of excess storage. i have several other comments in my brief about the importance of doing this now because not only are we concerned about the safety of the appellant but we're concerned about the safety of all the other people in the building, in which case there are 6 other units in the building who are depending on the city it make sure their living space is code compliant and safe. and i think the safety issues make a compelling argument that this situation cannot be allowed to continue, let alone for any other damage to the building that might result if, for example, there was an accident or some other incident that would affect our property rights as the owners. so i think i'll save everyone further time on this issue except to say that really the issue is is this unit legal or not? and unless the appellant can really make a case against this, i t
