wyoming not an expert on tenant-landlord relationships -- i am not an expert on tenant-landlord relationships, but i am an sexernt in struck turel work. something needs to be done. commissioner garcia mentioned the fact that if we don't implement this work, we may be subject to a dramatic structural failure on this building. so we need to consider that, and particularly the message that we will be sending to people that will be within the mandatory legislation. we need to be able to work out a relationship between the tenants and landlord -- a relationship that ultimately cull mate in saved buildings. >> mr. santos, absolutely you did not have to apologize. i inferred from your firm's submission, that in your opinion, and i don't mean to put you in conflict with your client's attorney, but i inferred you felt as though this work could be done with the tenants remaining in the building. is that correct? >> that is a correct statement. usually that statement has to be linked to potential financial ramifications of having to implement this type of significant work with people in the building. we

mccarthy regarding the tenants and removing the tenants based on the kind and scope of work that he was told he should do. this building, just as ms. santos has indicate, needs a lot of work. in the past he was recommended to do garages, and kitchens and things like that. those were band aid rehabilitation. this needs major rehabilitation. if the tenants are suspect, i hope to move that over. i am the new attorney, and i have a few things to say. i believe that the three tenants' concerns that they are going to loose their apartment or rent control of the apartment if these permits are approved really have no place in this permit appeal hearing. all the concerns they have are meritless, and their suspicions regarding the landlord are speculative. i say so because under the applicable statute, a landlord is allowed to temporarily relocate tenants, and they can come back and enjoy their rent-controlled apartments. they are paid $5,100 to $8,500 to relocate. they're leases are not permanently terminated. they come back to a newer, saver building. so denial of the permits here in this heari

mccarthy to keep the tenants in there if he feels it is safe for him and them. if you can get rent for three apartments and keep the tenants in there, why wouldn't you? mr. mccarthy has to think about -- if there is c.a.c.ing in the building, and bending windows, and the doors don't shut, and we find out in the middle of the situation that this building is now unsafe and uninhabittable, do you think i could just call the sheriff if the tenants don't want to leave on time? absolutely not. it would be a wrongful eviction. you have to go through the eviction. there is consideration paid. we are trying to keep people safe. we are trying to keep the landlord free from potential liability. >> counselor, we understand the point you are making. >> you brought up the issue why would mr. mccarthy in this case want somebody to leave when he could be collecting rents? the reason he would want them to leave is he would have to collect rent from each tenant in the amount of $5,000 per month to break even. >> he is not getting any rent. >> how did i get that figure? that they

third of its tenants had been repressed. special house for special people was popularly known as the house of pretrial incarceration. buildings in secret is now known as. alexander. has spent a lifetime house across. the postcard like. a house itself. to me. to say just don't you think it's something. i'm sick and tired of it but it's. his grandfather alexander in the one thousand. he held the post of minister in a country that had gone through the upheavals of revolution and civil war a person responsible for food supplies was almost as important as all the law makers put together. instantly complied with special paramilitary groups made the rounds of villages to strip peasants of so. as a result many of them to starvation. it. is very extensive included on site executions without trial. and he did what he had to by providing the nation with an adequate supply of grain. alexander to save the country's scientific and industrial potential by preventing the urban population from starving around about the same time stalin came

tenants didn't have the building if they didn't want to. close and hand shops and patients clinic a cinema close to outsiders a tennis court a canteen and even hobby clubs for children. yes you would be hard put to find anything missing what there was a crash and there was a kindergarten or kindergarten was in that cabin on the rooftop where there was a large veranda on the other side on a farm and children from the creche and kindergarten slept on the verandah in the daytime. in those days it was not as noisy as it is now yet life in the house was very comfortable. move nice and yes the wool believed in was three minutes until. it's not clear if it was demanded to be that way but the more if architect. had sensed the trend of the times in any case that's the way that world was constructed of finding a closed courtyards and a system in general isn't of anyone entering or leaving the building was taken over time when every movement was monetized there was a total control of everybody and everything. that never even occurred to the tenants of

we have a tenant. we have something that's as this needs to be abated. -- that says this needs to be abated. mrs. giannini has brought in another issue, which is the issue of privacy. let me show you a picture about what -- if you can see this. this is your property. we have got a window on the property line, and maybe you can look in your property. i do not think that means a boarding up his window. this would make it a very dark not very pleasant place to live. frankly, we do not find this to be a viable issue of boarding up a window, the nov being updated by just installing this fire assembly. commissioner garcia: do you of a copy? >> yes, i do. commissioner garcia: you are portraying him as someone who does not know what is going on. but online 22, the paragraph labeled d says there is no requirement " to provide light. >> i am not referring to mrs. giannini. commissioner garcia: let me finish, and this goes on the talks about her having a permit to do so. remove the window. >> i do not know where

-- tenant desert. is the land blurred permitted to collect rent? -- the landlord permitted to collect rent? >> [inaudible] >> that is an excellent point. we will talk about the value. let me say, if it has existed for a long time, that does not make it ok. it means they got away with it for a long time. that does not mean it is ok because it has been there 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 years. that does not make it ok. >> they can come in and kick up a tenant in clear out all of the room? >> we do not inspect those on a routine basis. we only look at them if we receive a complaint. we do not kick the people out. retell the property owner, you have this problem. you have to figure out how to solve the problem. legalize the unit. they can make some other change. >> anybody can come in and make trouble? >> they can. >> when we go to sell a property like that, if your friend wanted to sell the single-family house and had a tenant in the legal unit, if we write up the statement we hand out to all the people that co

this question of lamb or tenant relations is really important. we will be in the middle of this construction site and this is really important. one elderly lady who was getting harassed actually sought legal help and the attorney had to write a letter on her behalf to make sure that her visitors and friends and family were not harassed. i noticed in her correspondent that the harassment continued even after this letter. >> i agree that there is a seismic upgrade. there is concern that mr. mccarthy is using permits out of this. the very intense experiences have been hostile and not release supporters of a healthy living environment. he has gone through our garbage. he has taken our garbage. this is not just about a permit, this is the someone who systematically trying to prevent people. >> we will hear from the permit holder now. you also have seven minutes. thank you. >> i am the cartilage engineer for the project. what is in front of you is a structural permit. i am delighted that some tenants are supportive of the seismic effort. there have bee

change the address or that they will notify the tenants as they take place. that will be coming out shortly, hopefully before the end of the year. it all depends on how fast i can get it approved before i can do the office policy. >> in streamlining the process, how much time will we be able to look at? you mentioned about 90 days. >> hopefully at least one month. going to the coda advisory subcommittee, it is signed into effect. others do not. >> bringing me to the first comments on storm water ordinance, is there a way that they could harvest rainwater in those categories >> -- categories? >> puc is following that in the great wall or harvesting and usage right now. i can bring those forward to show you where they are. >> hopefully this will be integrated in the effort that lawrence and both committees are involved with that area >> chair? >> to follow what on the process change around tenant notification, putting this on the agenda to present with you are doing in september. >> that would be great. >> mr. martine has brought this up. thank you are about. m

we would like to be out there competing for tenants. i will turn it over to the president-elect of the aia to take you through the detailed discussion. >> thank you, carl. tom and i are going to take you through the design of the project, and i want to touch on a couple of things that i think are important for me to address. first, the importance of sustainability in the project. remarkably almost four years ago, we got in line to be one of the first projects in the lead expedited program, so what you see is the way we will

my experience is the tenants are the ones that go to the property owners and say we will take care of it can we have a tree much the property owners the way you get them will say, look it will raise the value of the property you can raise rent. there are various ways to appeal to what it is that will get somebody to sign o. if your tenants say the balance of my lease i promise to water the streets or pick up the dog poop that accumulates in it. one group to bear in mind in all of this conversation is most [inaudible] you have to have a physical sponsor that will help you with your grant amount. that is actually an incredible boom there are terrific fiscal sponsors in the city. there's the san francisco clean city coalition that runs the san francisco tool lending center. there is liveable city. there is the friends of the urban forest. the neighborhood parks council. the reason i bring these up now is part of the conversations with stake holders you have are with the fiscal sponsor. many of the fiscal sponsors have technical skills and lots of experience with the city that they will a

to date we have been able to identify a suitable replacement tenant whose use complies. chipolte expressed interest. after meeting with them as well as hearing a positive response from the community we are here today seeking approval to not only allow them under the formula retail use requirement and amend the c.u. by eliminating the condition 36. >> i am the director of operations for chipolte northern california. just a little background history, the founder actually used to be a chef here in san francisco. he got a four-year degree in new york. used to shop the mission district quite frequently and decide i am going to try this burrito and taco deal. he went to denver, colorado, got a loan from his father and opened up his first chipolte. it was an unbelievable success. we have over 1,000 restaurants right now and three here in san francisco. our primary food is burritos, tacos and salads. we are heavily invested in naturally raised meats, organic beans, and we are very popular with kids. all of our food is absolutely fresh. nothing is frozen. we spend many hours in t

so that's from golden gate tenants. i am speaking on behalf of the neighborhood network today. when i learned of this proposed project i took information to the next neighborhood network meeting and all of those present at the meeting were supportive of this project. first of all, it's supportive -- not -- it's a passive recreational use on the embarcadero and i think everyone i know of who lives on the east side of the city wants more recreation on the embarcadero. it would have a calming effect. it's a sport where people of all ages can participate. it's not difficult to learn how to play bocce ball. you can be 4 years old or 90 years old. it would a -- have a calming effect on the area. we envision office tournaments, families playing together, neighbors playing together. visitors even playing together. currently just in herman plaza in the median strip located between the two embarcadero roadways are very busy and management has received complaints from farmers market patrons and building tenants about the noise of the skate boarders and the so-called music. i have encounte

i am just the tenants. -- tenant. the previous landlord is a friend of mine. i knew all of the previous tenants. the blame lady has been up close to this board. this exists, ok. i have never been closer than three or four feet. all of the of their tenants and i have stayed away because we do not want our intestines on the sidewalk. i do not think the window should be boarded up. there's absolutely no reason on the planet to board it up. it would turn the room into a dungeon. that is a court violation. it would turn a bedroom into a windowless, dark, damp, cold, moldy room, and it will affect the other rooms. it will be a big mess. the landlady i do not think is here right now to confirm a lot of this stuff. but i think she has a new lawyer here. and i have seen your statement to the board, even though i do not know if you have seen her statement to the board, and i do not know if i can comment on that. can i? ok, with all of the legalese, i think she is now in agreement with us. going ahead and boarding up the window. ok, i am hoping a lawyer will confirm that

there are a tenant in good standing. lease negotiations have led to the proposed lease with the term of four years. 900 square feet of unimproved office storage space at 414 square feet of non-exclusive bathroom space. the initial monthly rent is $19,487 per month, or $233 with $820 annualized, and is consistent with the current commission-approved parameters. there is an annual increase in monthly rent of 2%. it will receive a 60-day construction time where no man is charged for space preparation. there are no other credits allowed under the lease, and the court has agreed to make one change in our leased to section 26, which is the hold over language. currently, with consent, the port can increase the rent by 50%. without consent, up to 200%. we have agreed that -- to an increase of 25% and 50% upon the natural expiration of the lease, but we always have the option to bring the tenant to the then current market so it is approved by the port commissions. this change does require port commission approval. we agreed to th
