the tenant has not done that, but i hope to work something out with the tenant because they're represented by council, we can work something out. for the commission and for my request here, if it's not possible to reverse the order of abatement, this board still has the ability to modify the order under special circumstances and those circumstances are within the building code. building code section 105 a subsection 282 states that this board has the authority and the ability to make a determination whether or not the violations are found to constitute serious and imminent hazards at the premises. if the board makes that finding, they are able to modify the order of abatement and there are specific rules for how long it's given to parties to resolve it. specifically it says the board for abatement, that the repair work be completed in less than 18 months. the notice of violation identifies the violations. it refers to the specific code sections at the premises and it's my understanding that individually and combined, the violations are not of the type that constitute a serious imminent haz

you heard from previous tenants, two cht tenants including my mother are handicapped and we need this reliable means of transportation. and as you also heard, a lot of people are greatly affected by it, and the uncertainty and all of these stressors are real things for these tenants, and it's hard, please take this into consideration when you consider these plans. thank you so much. >>vice president richards: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is najeet. i'm a resident of san francisco. i'm also a new comer here. i'm in process of learning the culture, the values -- american values. i've been here, i've listened to several different cases, and this is a good lesson for me. especially in this case, in this specific case, i'm wondering, do you know, what is important in american culture? i understand that there's a lot of demand in san francisco for housing, and that's why housing is very expensive, so we need a lot of housing, we need a lot of new developments. in other hands, we have a lot of people that have lived here for a long time. 20 years,

that said they were in dispute with the master tenant and many of you know a master tenant would be in one person's name with many people under one person and the master tenant dispute resulted in pg and e being shut off and there was an individual with breatheing support or ventilateer support that could not get it along with all the other tenants that needed electricity and it was a master tenant situation and we were extremely perplexed by the call for that particular address because we couldn't imagine where anyone would be living and building inspections along with the fire marshal were called and went out immediately inspected the space and discovered what i described in the beginning of the remarks and individuals living in dungeon-like conditions. for the first time in our city's history there was an order to vacate by the fire department but with that vacation, the city attorney's office was able to negotiate a relocation money two month's rent and utilities for the tenants that were documented at that space over $4,000 per tenant and then working with the city attorney's o

this report is just to con -- confirm in writing what tenants and tenant advocates already know. there's data and data is important but we can't lose sight of the fact that data has a human cost and human impact and very human consequences. where some are taxed more than others. some are made to pay more than others in many different ways. we were recently in sacramento where the urban displacement project at uc berkeley spoke on the impacts of displacement. there are many layers. again, it is the big landlord speculators that are really the true culprits of this imbalance where you're producing, quote, unquote, affordable units but we're losing more than we're gaining. it's causing san francisco to feel less and less like a community. i would argue it's no longer a community but a population of customers. if you can't afford it that's tough luck. that's not a way for san francisco to be or any city. the consequence on people, seniors and people with disability people are frightened and very scared. it's a bad situation. i commend the efforts to try to rectify it and repeal the s

so, there's a huge financial incentive to evict long-time tenants in order to charge new tenants a lot more. last year, san francisco's eviction rate was the highest in a decade. now, we're exposing how some landlords are profiting off a loophole that may have led to hundreds of wrongful evictions, families that once called san francisco home now kicked out. female: all righty, you can have this. you want to eat this first? announcer: angelique rochelle and her daughter leona have lived in this oakland apartment for 2 years, but they still don't consider it home. this is where they say they should be living, a san francisco apartment that was their home for nearly a decade, until they were forced to leave. angelique: i was trying to do my best to stay there with 10 years of my kids in school and my whole community there. bigad: your whole life was there. angelique: yeah, my whole life was there. it's still there. announcer: in san francisco, landlords can legally kick out their tenants if they, or in some cases their relatives, want to move in. it's called an owner move-in eviction. an

what's next is tenants. so, in the -- expectation, we will start to see this soon, generation of lease deals and ongoing conversations with the tjpa and with the board, as deals and inquiries solidify. the expectation starting next month, specific details on that activity in the report through the executive director. this you have seen before, i don't have a change on this slide. and some of this was discussed earlier. the transit aspect. so the lease for the bus plaza is in progress. completion was slowed with the decision made for ssmta to take the entire plaza and sublease from a.c. transit, on the earlier timeline we showed a completion in about the january time frame. so a.c. transit is now working directly with sfmta for a sublease on the bus deck, along with greyhound and amtrak. greyhound has a draft sublease, amtrak has not, and there is a call this afternoon to figure out what's going on with that. so for the second floor last month, reported the greyhound lease was completed. we are working with a

we're not relocating laundry or tenants. somebody mentioned something about a media room and removal of the unit space. i don't know anything about that. we don't have a media room. thank you for your time >> all right. thank you. dr requester, you have a two minute rebuttal -- oh, sorry. public comment in support of the project. you can speak during rebuttal, though. all right. dr requester. >> okay. thanks. i just listened to some of the comments from the project sponsor, and just wanted to, you know, respond to those. she is right, that there have been a lot of contentious conversations around the way trash is handled, not only currently in the building, but with the current proposal, and the sense that we have always gotten is the project sponsor and the building owner originally thought that it was perfectly acceptable to submit plans for putting a garbage room in our lobby. and that, to me, is absurd. and, you know, talking about ways of mitigating that, we've been told, you know, hey, let's negotiate to a win-win solu

so, all the tenants have to be basically relocated. the owner was given enough time to actually deal with the fire damage and provide assessment report. there was no evidence of providing any assessment report so therefore we had to send it to code enforcement. we requested the owner to shut off all utilities, contact the building department. once the report was obtained and provide the assessment to verify all the fire conditions, and all the structural items that were affected by the fire. so, all the windows in the front were supposed to be covered, they were all broken from the firefighting. also like i said substantial damage to the structure, integrity of the whole back of the property. so, we advised the owner to actually get assessment report and shut off all utilities. all right. >> yes. thank you so much. so the tenants are out at this point, or -- what is the status? >> the reason the case was forwarded to code enforcement, the owner was never in contact with building department in that regards. >> we don't know? >> even tho

jennifer fever with the san francisco tenants unit. i also want to speak in support of the project and against the dr. this strikes me as classic nimbyism. as long as no tenants were displaced, it seem dos totally reasonable. we have a severe eviction crisis as the dr knows, so we're desperately in need of housing which is affordable. thanks. >> good evening, commissioners. -- thank you. my name is pat buskovitch. i'm a neighbor. i live at diamond and 23rd. i speak here on behalf of my family who lives at 22nd eureka and jersey and diamond. we live all around this. my family has been in this neighborhood for 30 years. this project is truly a creative request to develop four units on one lot with a second unit building in the back. they're going to take that two unit building and eadd an adu n an illegal office that's been there for years. they're going to take the front building and demolish it and building a mansion resulting in 6,000 square feet on one lot. i worry about allowing demolition of rental housing, that they refuse to ackn

most house long-term tenants. most tornadoes. if we're add i'd like to see more demographic info and wonder if that can be included. i want to see how it's affected san francisco as a whole and impacted san francisco as a whole. that means what is the racial displacement and how are we changing racially and ethically and income diversity. that's at stake. when we lose our economic diversity we lose a little bit of who we are in san francisco because we'll lose our racial and ethnic diversity and our employment diversity of people who live here in san france. we also lose a bit more. we want to be known also as the city of innovation and want to remember our roots that made us this way and we have a diversity of thought. great ideas come from san francisco. many an intersection of humanity and that's because they want to make the world a better place. not all those people make a zillion dollars and we've also want to give them a place and i'd ask for the demographic info and then i'd like to request all future reports provide upda

we scheduled a tenant meeting to try and make sense of what was going on.he first thing that struck us was the fact that the drawings proposed a large enclosure in our building to accommodate trash cans. this is symbolic of a long-standing pattern of contempt that the building owners have shown not only toward the tenants, but toward the building itself, and as you'll hear later, it's not just us, and it's not just our building. our 38 page document documents many problems that also includes several pages of violation notices based on our own reports or housing department inspections with roughly 35 individual issues. many of these complaints have never been resolved, and others after multiple threats of conversations with the housing departments. here's an attempt to solve the garbage problem the adu's introduced by making major adjustments to stairs. that's a problem. there's no way to know if this work can be down without altering units or displacing tenants. another ongoing issue is bike parking, which two tenants would lose along with a large storage u

my tenant's position is very simple. they've lived in a home for quite a while that has been substandard and hazardous, and repeated efforts to ask the landlord, the previous owner, to make repairs have gone largely ignor ignored. it was mentioned earlier that the landlord appealed and the thought was that was in order to close the sale. they did a similar move with my tenants in that they said they were entering into a buyout negotiation in order to keep them from filing a civil suit based on a rent board finding that they owed money and announced that the house had been sold. so i've spoken with ms. tran. she says she was not aware of any of this. in that case, she has our deepest sympathies that she was sold sort of a lemon of a house with numerous problems. my client's position is simply they want to make sure the repairs are done swiftly and that they are clearly communicated how and when they're going to be done. ms. tran mentioned that the tenants were not eager to grant access. they're happy to grant access. they

we've been in talks with the tenant. last time we had an agreeme bu agreement for 60,000, and now they're suing me for 2 million, so i don't think they will be leaving this property empty handed. they are also constantly filing reports that the property is in disrepair. i just got a letter from the health department saying that the paint is peeling, that we need to paint the whole building. they have a lawyer, they -- we're working with them, but they are not going empty ha handed, and they're not going to have three months of rent. as it stands now, we're being sued for $2 million. my brother bought it two years ago, and my brother pays $6,000 a month rent, and he can't live there. he's living with my mom now, and we're hoping we have some sort of resolution. if we can't get approval, i don't know what we can do. >>vice president richards: so let me ask you a question. >> of course. >>vice president richards: it says three level building. >> yes, sir. >>vice president richards: and we have the family living in the basem

the pace of the deal is often driven by the tenant, the prospective tenant themselves. the time it takes for them to make a decision, and financial considerations, and the negotiation, that can take some time. and, again, it depends on the -- the sophisticated i will say tablecloth restaurant tour will take longer, for example, for the rooftop restaurant than, say, a smaller -- a smaller retail on the ground floor. >> yeah -- >> so that's what is going to dictate -- >> i want to make sure that we don't have a number of willing participants with nowhere to go. >> just to add to this, the assumptions that we have here is that the tenants, once they want to start tenant improvements they will have full access to their space to do their work and assuming that water and electricity is there for them to do it. if that changes, then this schedule may be impacted. with the assumption right now is that once we get them on board and they want to start tenant improvements they can do it and they would provide the space and give them what they need to do the tenant improvements wit

and the asset management agreement has a list of prohibited uses so a tenant -- a prospective tenant may fall into that category and would be noted here. and then there's a column or i should say an amount for not qualified. these are individuals that are vague about their concept or do not have a specific enterprise in mind. this would be very different from a potential incubator business that has a unique process to sell. and a pop-up, it was moved over to p.r.i. to manage it. and so that's the -- that's the report. again, you're going to see this on a monthly basis but colliers produce this is on a weekly basis and the numbers are changing every day. any questions? >> i have a quick question and i wanted to make sure that i'm understanding this correctly and if i'm using the first line, restaurant quick services, for example. >> yes. >> so there were 22 in the prospect touring columns and then you said that there are 10 that are idle or dead? this is in 10 of the 22, right? these are 10 separate -- >> yes. >> they have been taken off that list? >> yes, completely separate. yes. >>

the tenants have my phone number and email. and trista also helps out with the tenants that don't speak english. so we are very interested in maintaining a safe environment back in the alley and most of the complaints have not been from boxcar, and a lot of it was due to the massive construction project we have going on inside the building and that's now over. it should be returned to a much more peaceful condition now. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is chris white. i'm one of the owners of the building. i just wanted to speak because a lot of what i heard has nothing to do with boxcar in the sense that some of the folks i've seen in the pictures and people that use that alley are not boxcar. we're here about boxcar. and nick, who already spoke, constantly calls and emails me about security and noise and to make sure that the gate's working. you know, and i just want to remind everybody here that boxcar has been doing a very good job. some of the problems we've had in the past with the alley, w

ask any tenant in hopper lane apartments in santa rosa and they'll tell you confusion is rampant. (peggy leschinsky/¢ received eviction notice) "we just didn't know what to do or who to talk to or who to call" (aaron robinson/received eviction notice) "a little more communication would have been great" (don morrison/received eviction notice) "i don't like being lied to nobody does and they did that several times" last night we reported roughly 30 tenants here whose apartments survived the fires received eviction notices wednesday night. the letter tells them they need to be out in 60 days. citing damage from the fires.
