we want to make sure there is a requirement that tenants be informed about this. the fourth aspect of our proposal includes in a new and amended leases, a requirement with provisions that address their respective obligations of landlords and small business tenants to bring premises into compliance. we want to ensure that tenants and landlords are talking to each other about how they are going to comply and they for accessibility improvements so that they're doing this with each other as opposed to working together to fight off a lawsuit. the fifth aspect of the proposal would criers our office of small business to develop a pamphlet notice in multiple languages regarding federal, state, and local disability access laws that may require, and require landlords to provide such information to tenants. we want to make sure that everyone is educated and educated in inappropriate in multiple languages. i will be circulating senate -- some technical amendments to clarify what i just described. but want to take a moment and thank all the parties that have worked with my of

i have represented tenants. at some point, i represented both because they have a common interest even in that. obviously, they both have to make the space accessible either now or later, so it is best that they work together if they can. and work together to save us -- to hire a single lawyer. they can make repairs or what ever is in their agreement. sometimes, when the tenant is the small business and does not have much cash flow, one way to do is to renegotiate the lease, where the cost is amortized over a longer period time. it is another way to spread the payments back to the less financially available person. would you do if you get one of these notices? if you have not had your property inspected already, or if you do not do it following this program -- which i recommend you do -- you should have an inspection by an architect who is familiar with ada issues. we call all of these laws ada, but really ada is one aspect of the federal laws. there are five or six statutes, depending on the specifics of the ca

so this is a slide about the typical tenant rand company -- contributions. for a typical homeless single adults, the average household income if he or she is on disability is approximately $800 a month re. rent famous standard is typically 30% of household and come. however, for the dp hh unit, the city is providing more intensive services including tenant care. tenants are required to pay 50% of their household income as rent payment. even requiring the higher rent payments, it would still not be enough to cover the full operating costs which services the unit, which could range from $6,000 to $12,000 per unit. the local operating subsidy program ensures that a homeless person can be taken off the streets or out of the city's emergency care system and housed and provided services, even if he or she has a zeroing come. -- zero in come. now what would like to talk to you about the process for the local operating subsidy approvals. eligible projects are permanent supportive housing that have been approved by the city-wide affordable housing loan committee whic

became a manager or contact person for other tenants. so, we recommend that the city requires a trained desk clerk in all sro hotels. it could be added to the current requirements. on top of requiring a desk clerk, we want them to be trained. we recommend that they be trained to effectively assist tenants, there but they should have a general understanding of health and housing codes and answers to questions about rent and repair. in the community we know that there are some current curriculum that the city, should they be interested, can look at. another point i would like to mention is physical and accessibility. most of these buildings are multiple stories high, which could constitute a huge problem for those of us in the population of seniors with disabilities. many seniors and people with disabilities in describing

>> i justú the current tenants for the war memorial building.y understanding is that the staff of the war memorial, the san francisco opera will have some when they return. i am curious as to what the plan is for the other tenants. the law library is a separate issue. is there going to continue to be a meeting space for the department of the environment now that they have new dedicated space of 1445 market? i am most curious about the2s75 office exhibit and meeting space for the san francisco post of the american legion and the plan there. >> i will defer your question on the apartment to the real estate department. i know he has been working with them and the mayor's office on disability which currently occupies space in the veterans building, with regard to the american legion post, which are trust beneficiaries, we are planning on providing temporary relocation space for the office and meeting activities. we will be providing temporary 4g their veterans trophy room. it is plan that those will go into storage and we have been working with the

this is where it is coming from -- a vindictive tenant. he basically looked up everyone who ever had a complaint and then came up with this whole narrative. "she takes the money away." this is the nicest place i have lived in san francisco. the illegal units on the ground floor -- they have been there a while. there is nothing wrong with them. there is no danger there as far as i can tell, and i have been there. i am not an expert. i am not a contractor. i am not an inspector, but every time she has found that something is wrong, she works to fix it. >> are you in the upper two units or the basement? this alleged attended making the complaint, -- the alleged intended making the complaint, i the still there? >> no, they are gone. one had a job, and the other stayed home and made phone calls on end. >> i had a question if that is okay. what is the cost of pulling the permit to get moving in a diffe? >> was the first part of your question? >> costs. >> it depends upon what the property owner wishes to do and perhaps deputy director sweeney mi

it also increases the notice that tenants, a commercial tenants of commercial -- potential liability if they're not in compliance and forms a small business tenants about their obligation. it requires the office of small business creates multilingual templates explaining how federal, state, and local disability access laws intersect and the critical part of it -- better education of our small business sector. this has been an important step forward and i am proud to be a co-sponsor and urge your support. president chiu: any further discussion? supervisor chu: i wanted to thank president chiu. many of our districts has seen a number of businesses that have suffered hardships from some of the lawsuits that have occurred. if we -- as we look into the issues, there are intersections are rarely with small businesses. the issues are focused around the ability to make the repair. the legal resources to understand how to deal with some of the issues and understanding what the responsibilities are. in terms of capital, the mayor pose a revolving loan fund, something the board has approved wil

president chiu: the legislation requires the city to get prior building applications for tenants that want to come into compliance with the ada laws. this is an amendment in 38.3. this would require landlords to bring common areas to make sure that they come into compliance with ada laws, or they are required to disclose to a tenant that the current property may not meet accessibility standards. we want to make sure that in places that tenants are informed that could be financially or legally a bet -- required to comply and require their baby in future releases the addressing of respective obligations of landlords and tenants to bring premises into compliance. another major portion which is an amendment that i have circulated at section 38.6 was suggested by the small business commission to develop notices and pamphlets in multiple languages that the small business commission would help to distribute regarding the federal, state, and local laws that could comply -- applied. what i'm trying to do is to make sure that the parties that could be impacted, commercial and large and small bu

i am a voter in the south beach arena and am now the new president of the tenants' association. we are up to 260 members of the seven people in the harbor. we just heard about this, literally, 30 days to 45 days ago. of course, we have a lot of problems and i guess one of the biggest things that we do not have right now is the time to go through, record them, and have larry bring it up to me now. basically, the california department of boating, they have a certain number of millions done by san francisco redevelopment. those funds have never been finished or finalized. the documents do state that if redevelopment does stand, there has to be a notification. we do not even know if that has been done. we have major questions about unlawful transfer of the harbor to anyone. we also have problems with the timing, as you have heard. most specifically, rates. we just looked at the harbor ourselves and we saw a tremendous amount of low hanging fruit that is not being used by the harbor. people coming in with cruise ships who are not paying anything. people coming in the cruise ships who

that restaurant will be designed to serve the tenants, crane cove park, and the community. the next building is 102, the historic power house. we feel it is well-suited for a restaurant or offices. the basement with the layout will for amenities like classrooms, and jim's -- gyms available for the tenants. right now, power is routed through the building, but that would need to be rerouted before developing the building. 104 is an historic office building with serious seismic challenges. our goal is to make the building safe. want to return the office used back to office. we like to have the retail on 20th street and have some night watchman on the upper floor. lou to the south side, building 14 is an existing warehouse. we plan to add some windows and doors. we anticipate some sort of industrial or ancillary retail office use will come into the space. moving around, buildings 113 and 114. these are enormous soaring brick buildings. they are in danger of imminent collapse. we think their dues is ideal for the use of makers of various sizes, but first we need to make some sei

the city has been a tenant here since 1983.ideration, they will be carpet in rebate the facility, an expensive $200,000. the renewal rate is fixed for the entire five-year term at $23.28 per square foot, per year, estimated to be 95% of a fair market rent determined in this case by an independent appraisal analysis and an agreement by the landlord and tenant as to the rate. in that appraisal, the following compare robles, unfortunately rather small on the screen, my apologies, indicate a range similar to what we saw in the last item, very varied. of course, we are at the lower end. on top of that, the city pays for janitorial ah$o and securit, estimated at $8 to $9 per square foot. i am budget -- again joined if you have any programming questions on this. >> thank you very much. supervisor chu: let's go to the budget analyst report. >> on page 3 we pointed out that the monthly rent in this case would go up 72.4%, which is significant. the state department has stated that it reflects the escalated rent in the south of market are

usually what is required by law is every accommodation must be made by the tenant or the property owner to make the improvements to achieve the disability access before coming into the public right-of-way. we recognize the city and county of san francisco is a very hillie region and there are some fundamental challenges related to the topography. in many cases we have many properties and many businesses on a very hillie street. streets in excess of 5% and in some cases, 15% or 20% where they're to provide an entryway. what we try to do as the department is to work with a design professional to identify ways where they can modify the sidewalk and the curb to provide accessibility to not only the business but also to maintain the path of travel along the salk so someone in a wheelchair can access the sidewalk continually without running into on instructions, such as ramping. in the many years i've worked with the department, we have processed hundreds of these encroachment permits a year. quite of bit of them are related to disability access. there were -- there are other encroachments th

we had several tenants making pleas for help. after consulting with the adjacent building management, we learned these issues have been plaguing the adjacent building since 1999. collectively, the building owners felt the emergency stop- gap measure would be to install the gate. when we learned that ms. utt had access concerns, we provided her with a key to the gate. the solution worked. the criminal activities subsided considerably. the garbage, the health hazards, and the criminal activities subsided. to my knowledge, there are only to tenants that opposed the gate. we have 34 letters that support. the community overwhelmingly supported the gate. finally, i am a little perplexed in regards to the access issue that she brings up. when i went to visit the property the other day, i did see the ramp and ada access that she referred to. that was installed for the commercial unit on the ground floor. i do not believe there is a commercial tenant in there at the moment. the elevators are not ada accessible. it is an older building, a
