it with dbi and the plumbing department, we realized it is expensive to do the systems. one of the things in the manual is the type of plan check of the type of systems that are installed, due to the fact that we have properties that are one on top of another. planchette is one of the important things to have done tree will save contractors, homeowners money and time before they obtained a permit or start to do any type of work, so they know they can do these systems. we're looking to make this as safe as possible. the water going from a gray water system, unfortunately to a neighbor's property to the top of ground you have or the type of layout you might have done. we like to know exactly what is coming forward and make it easier for the applicant, so they know exactly what they are getting into. we would be able to identify these types of projects, so we have been working with them, for like a said, over two years. i have been with gray water for four or five years now knowing that it is coming forward. one of the biggest concerns we have as well is the types of system

the dates that this was fabricated, a lot of plumbing fixtures are in the fixtures this is december 30th947. if you look at your plumbing fixtures you will see the dates when these were made. fascinating we can date remodels. the board appeals will ask me when the work was done. i can nail it by the fasteners. what does this tell you about the date. the square cut nails before they were wire nails were used. and that let's you know this is a piece installed in victorian times. >> often the screws, also. >> uh-huh. >> an older type screw. many of the screws now are phillips and look like sheet rock. >> the mention dating plumbing fixtures the same is for door and window hardware. oftentimes it will have a manufacture and a patent date. >> right. >> here's a cool hing. that was a door hing. heavy, probably weighs 5 times what a normal hing ways. >> a hing to made to swing both ways it's double acting and a spring hing you adjust it. >> this one might be rusted. saturday you might be able to get it to work. >> then, we have some facets and hardware. what can people do to upgrade stuff like

the septic tanks, windmills get replaced by real plumbing. the neighbors, they don't want carville anymore. they don't want these bohemian musicians skinning dipping and getting drunk at night. these sort of petting parties that are happening, that the young men are hosting in cars. they want real schools, real firehouses. they want to be known as a real community. and so an improvment group called the oceanside improvement group, decided that they would get rid of carville. they hosted an event on july 4, 1913. they called it "burning the car out of carville" which was pretty straight forward. they asked sutro's heirs if they could take the old cars that he had been renting in that original carville plot and make a big bonfire out of them. she said sure. so they took all the cars, put them in a big pile. it was july 4, so they bought some fire works and tossed them in with the fire. but they were trying to announce they were a new neighborhood. they didn't want to be called carville anymore. they wanted to be called oceanside, which sounded a

now we appreciate too the fact that housing authority's got funding to replace the window and the plumbing, but there's no one cleaning the stairways in the corridors, when even we complain to the property managers. we just wanted to -- they only clean for once or twice every year when there's an inspection from the h.u.d. or housing authority. we wanted to stress that you please get someone to clean the common areas. >> great. >> thank you. >> ms. lee, good to see you again. i'm thankful you didn't ask me about the elevator, because i don't have an answer for that. as far as for the common area and stairs, we'll get right on that. i wasn't aware that you were still concerned about those. i thought our folks had got to that. >> i'm going to run interference. i think, mrs. lee, excuse me, she has the tenants, 35 tenants she brought with her, and they have a whole list of questions. so instead of 35 answering you each question, will take that long, maybe we should allow her to finish her little list of all the complaints so that then you can, you know, answer it better instead of keep on cut

most people who buy property in the bay area check out the plumbing, the electrical, the roof, the foundation, but what most people don't realize is there is a whole lot more to your home than what's behind the front door. >> i think it was more than 60, maybe 70% of the people think that the sidewalks are the city's responsibility. >> reporter: ed director of the department of public works said the city of san francisco has about 850 miles of sidewalks, believe it or not most of it is your responsibility. what is the city's responsibility? well, you see the curb here,? six inches strip? everything from this line out to the street, that's the city, everything from that line in, that's all you. >> in order for us to be comply isn't with the american with disability act we need to make sure there is a smooth, and safe accessible path of travel which means no defects greater than one half inch. >> reporter: it's not just san francisco, state and federal law is clear, in most cases any overgrown trees, landscaping, grafitti, trash or those cracked sidewalks, are the responsibility of you. the pro

this has a total that is -- these happen as a matter of course through the plumbing code and a change in appliances and things of that nature. they are having more conservation overall. you can see them ranging from 77 up to about 80. this is a fairly narrow band due to aggressive conservation. the next slide shows how we fit into the water conservation bill of 2009. there is the dark line which is a change in gross per-capita use overtime in san francisco. this is literally all of the water that crosses the county line in san francisco. current water use is at 85.6 gallons per day. everyone would have to take a share of that. that is below 100 gallons per capita per day. the last average is at 92.2 per day. this is under the way you calculate compliance with the water conservation act. that does not mean we will not do additional conservation but san francisco is really out there in terms of party complying with low water use. 85.6 gallons, sometimes you hear other numbers turn around like 51 gallons per capita which is residential water use in the san francisco. the gross number is

if you want to be involved in the plumbing for the social media. >> tom: one thing about the internet is it's about measurement, being able to measure traffic, measure eyeballs, and accamite technologies has been in the forefront for a long time, but this is one ugly chart for akam. what's to stop it from falling? >> a lot of those momentum players bailed out of the stock, but this stock supports seven of the ten most traffic sites, and it's involved in probably 90% of every social networking visit that happens. and so i really think the stock if it holds above 30 it's time to get into it. here's the thing, no one wants the buy a stock when it's fallen off. this stock has, it's down 30%, but analysts are starting to say, maybe it isn't as bad as some other people think it is. maybe it's sold off a bit too much and there's a lot of value there. >> tom: watch it above 30. any two disclosures? ownership yourself? >> no. >> tom: you can read debra's article on our web site. that's our word on the street with debra borchardt with the street.com. >> susie: here's what we're watching for tom

steve penelli, the chief plumbing inspector. rosemary, a housing inspector. john, and the acting senior building inspector. they have provided a whole range of categories of performance ranging from addressing nov's and inspections. when i look at the numbers, it is really commendable. again, thank them for their continued service, and good job and good work. also, i would also like to say the effort of the commission would be to also maintain and keep moving forward with the balance of the year, strong support for not only staff, but for the categories of how the department will continue to perform and take on the challenges of reduced staff, but at the same time, probably the ingrowing load of good work that is coming into the city. all of that, i hope, will provide an uptick to not only the growing economy in san francisco, but also our department, and hopefully, a push to provide additional training and equipment will come into play. looking forward to the results of the contract negotiations to finalize the permit tracking system, of which, pamela has bee

you don't fix the plumbing one time, any more than i get my hair done one time. if we don't continue to invest for the next 20 years, we'll find ourselves back at the same point that we were in the late '90s. if we don't protect water, we will be without water. we will be without industry, we will be without jobs, we will be without a healthy economy, and our people will be sick. so we don't really have a choice. we're going to find out why that's important. it's a question of, who's going to pay, how much you're going to be willing to pay in order to ensure that your children live the kind of life that we as americans have promised them. woman: and what we're going to do is get a marble to travel through your pipe. child: keep still! keep still! woman: aw, there's a clog in the drain. oh, there it is.

buyers should be concerned about what the electrical looks like, where the plumbing is, what is happening to something that has not been permitted. it could be just fine. owners will tell you that i had my uncle joe do with and he is a plumber and electrician, but we did not want to spend the time and money to do the permit process. that is fine, but it is hard to convince a buyer. it will have an affect on the value, no question. if they want to go to the process, great. i have had sellers require them to go through for a second bath for something that was not permit it. everything was done properly. a contractor owned the house and got it permitted. it was not a big deal. everything was done properly. he could do it. they should find out what the process will take. it they are doing new work, definitely. people are looking at everything. they scrutinized things. if that completion is not on their, their concern. >> report of residential record, it's basically summarizes what is in the building department records about work that has been done, and required documents that are disclosed fr
