one is to put the stairs in first and run a regularlet around the stairs that the stucco comes down to. a reglet is an l-shaped piece of metal that you're waterproofing for the stucco that goes behind distribute stucco goes on top of. it's a piece of flashing and that follows -- they'll make it -- it follows the curves and the whole edge of the stairs. and so you can put that on there, the stucco paper comes down there and you would stucco on top that have after and then you have a little caulk joint that is just something you have to maintain.

>> repair of the stairs to make them safe. and the departments will still need the permits to comply with the other, that we don't understand any way. if applicable. commissioner peterson: the unit number again for the bathroom? >> 340. president goh: striking everything that we are striking, does it prevent a problem -- the present a problem for a one-year statute? >> i was going to recommend that the board state in their motion that the permit holder would not be precluded from replying to do the work under the other nov's in one year. it would constitute a change of circumstances. president goh: ok. the somebody want to be the one to make this motion? commissioner garcia: we thank you for doing that. president goh: i will make the motion. >> to grant the appeal on the condition that all work to be struck except for the remodeling of the bathroom in unit 340 and the work under violation. and the permit holder not be barred to reapply for this work. >> on that motion from the president. commissioner fung: aye. commissioner gar

the siding, the windows, the doors, the stairs, the sidewalk, the landscape. so let's just look at a couple different kinds of buildings and the typical problems they might have. so, for example, here's a building with final siding. what kind of maintenance do we need with the vinyl siding? we have to wash the thing, that's for darn sure. what do you think? >> it's got to be washed, caulked, checked to make sure water is not getting behind the siding. >> caulking is not a replacement for good flashing. caulk something sort of a -- an interim waterproofing material that has to be maintained. if somebody says, we have a leak, let's caulk it, what that means is we've got a temporary solution that's going to leak some more unless you maintain that caulking constantly. the way that leaks are prevented and by the way leaks and water intrusion are pretty much the number one problem in buildings. that's my experience. is that what you see as well? the way to really prevent that is through proper flashing, typically metal, and then counterflashing over the top. complex

the wooden exterior stairs, the older ones, you need to keep them painted and sealed. you can't let the water be seeping in. the south side where you hit the sun, that's what breaks down the caulking and the sealant paint. you need to pay particular attention and you may only be able to paint your house every five, six, seven years. the stare assembly, every two years. >> if you do that, it will be -- if we look at a house like this, it could be an even more significant problem where everything is hidden behind a thin coat of stucco. and there could be wood in there as well. >> you may find if you take the stucco off, you'll find the old wood stair and they just said we don't want the -- because this is a beautiful victorian that have been butchered by stuccoing it. i've taken it off one of my houses and you'll find juned 'neath the front stairs, the old hand rail and they just covered it and stuccoed-over-over it and say now it looks like a modernized building. >> yeah. >> now you hire people to take the stuff off and put the gingerbread back on. >> could you talk abo

the stairs are a big problem because the bottom part is rotten. the permit is necessary because it -- we have friends over and a garden back there. we don't climb out the window onto your roof. i wanted to impress that it is important that we get his permit - -this -- this permit. we have friends over, we like having barbecues and it's important we get it. president goh: how long have you lived there? >> since january cl. president goh: is the room a bedroom? >> yes. president goh: is it a bedrrooom in your unit? >> yes. there are three of us, i'm on the top floor. president goh: is it a separate unit from the rest of the building? >> the top floor is a separate unit. the outside downstairs is communal. top and bottom. commissioner hwang: the property line window is not part of your unit? it is? thank you. president goh: you have another minute if you want to use it. is there a need for a translator? we can expand your time to allow for that. just -- could you approach? commissioner hwang: if you want to speak, your daughter can translate for you.

duffy has made reference to the stairs and that is a separate permit. actually on the application, it refers to the violation to look at that particular application. what i would ask the board to do would be to deny the appeal and to give mr. duffy and i the opportunity to sit down. i can give you my pledge of good faith. i don't think that they have had any problems dealing with me. this will allow us to move forward without concerns over what exactly it is that the board has told us that we cannot do. >> he is constrained about figuring out what has been done rather than trying to figure it out. that is my concern. thank you. >> is any rebuttal from you? >> i think we're done. >> this was simply require a continuance. >> we to hold to other tenants in the building because there is work that could be done. unless we can go over it, i would be voting blindly. this seems like mr. duffy is uphold in the arrangement. >> i would personally be more comfortable with that. >> i am comfortable with the concept. >> the council for the permit holders suggested tha

the first item on the bottom is showing you could have eight stair elevator windscreen to the heights shown. there is an interpretation we do not think is correct which told us we can only do a stair that is 2 feet high above the roof level, which we obviously cannot have access to, an elevator we could probably squeeze in at minimal height, and a wind screen that would only be 2 feet higher than the roof, which is more unsafe than the existing paraquat. we think the ruling of the code suggests that where the high limit is 65 feet -- we are in that district -- the we should be able to have exemptions to the height limit to add these elements and, as the diagram shows. the last diagram basically is saying there are existing penthouses' appear up to 84 feet. we want a stair connected to one of those. it would have minimal visual impact. one thing i think has been created by the denial of the letter of determination. it is a hardship by denying that our clients the structures others have had the opportunity to enjoy. the product is not controversial. i think there are proponents here tha

the other, a young boy, mortal ainjured in a tumble down the stairs. but is there a connection? that is what cops are now trying to figure out and tonight they are bit closer. the shooting at fort hood. investigators say this man opened fire on dozens of innocent people. he faces a possible death penalty for his crime and today he came to court. plus, how do you explain this one to the insurance company? and sharks have almost no natural predators unless you count this guy. >> the dog is biting the sharking. >> the shark! >> tonight, the bravest dog ever. first the mystery at the mansion in southern, california. the sheriff's department investigators now say in san diego that they are waiting for lab results that could help explain the events that left two people dead. it all started at the home of a millionaire drug executive when his young son apparently fell down the stairs. the little boy never recovered from his injuries. we are told the father, the executive jonas was not at home at the time. but his girlfriend was. and two days later somebody found her stripped naked hangi

girlfriend was a vibrant and loving person and would never do earlier, hisd son, max, fell down the stairs at mansion and he died. investigators and not rule out possibility that the two deaths are somehow connected and they are looking into reports that other people were staying in the house the night before the girlfriend died. so the mystery deepens. >>reporter: the investigators are call this "mysterious and odd," and they could be mentioned but they think the boy's death is an accident and he fell down the stairs and died on sunday and that is called an accident at this hour. they will not tell us what they believe and how she died but saying her death is "mysterious and odd." a statement says in part "it's important for to us take our time with the investigation, and not rush to judgment to ensure we don't miss anything," and "hopefully the evidence will tell the story." the autopsies have been completed on both victims and now they are waiting for the lab tests to come back and that usually takes six weeks in san diego and they say they expedited it and could be back by the end of n

the rear stairs need to be replaced. there is another that is ready for pickup for that. one of these complaints references the remodel. it would not allow you to remodel four units. i am not sure it got issued by the department, there have been inspections on that one. i believe it was for 340. that is the downstairs unit that we spoke of an earlier. there are problems with the permit. the date is may 4. >> i am assuming that based on the permit number for 340, it is may 12. >> that is correct. >> i am also assuming that the permit was picked up because of the additional work that they found when they were working on in. >> the photographs they were shelling -- i thought the photographs were wall framing, not for framing. i was there this morning, actually. i don't know what is underneath it. i assume that when they were doing the work, they could have flecked the floor because the ceiling was opened. if that involved the removal of the tile above, i am not sure. there are 10 active notices of complaints. it would just repeat it is the scope of the work. if you're going t

she was there when the young boy fell count stairs. her was the one who found her flaingt balcony. he was staying in a guest house outside of the mansion. at this hour there have been no arrested and authorities are saying it could be an accident and suicide. but they are not ruling out the possibility of foul play. martha: let's bring in former detective rod wheeler. i know you have been looking into this story. let's talk about the 32-year-old girlfriend. according to the reports she was supposed to be watching this little boy when he fell. she is found with her handle and feet bound, naked, flank a balcony. how would someone do that if they wanted to commit suicide that way? >> in the many years i have been investigating homicides, suicides and suspicious deaths. i have never seen a case of suicide in which an individual bound their hands and feet with electrical cord. and a different type of rope was used to hang herself. i doubt very seriously if this is a suicide. there are only two times that we see a person bound their hands and

they came down the stairs. he had that other weapon that was strapped to his waist. and as you can see in the film, he kind of turns on his side and pulls that out. once he does that, they again fire on him with the .40, strikes the inmate on the side. the inmate then decides it's best to call it quits and lie flat on his stomach with his arms extended. we were able to enter and take him into custody. >> punishment for incidents like this usually involves the loss of privileges as opposed to the filing of new criminal charges. that turned out to be the case for etima as well. but in 2006 jared petrovich was allegedly involved in an incident that not only resulted in very serious charges, but set off repercussions that still impact the entire orange county jail system today. >> so you're using your legal paperwork as weight. >> yeah. also the magazines, you know? >> petrovich has approximately 20 pounds of legal paperwork in his cell, which helps provide an effect jailhouse workout. >> you do it until you can't do it no more. i can do it all day. >> the paperwork has a
