and of course once again, i know commissioner warshell, i, commissioner lee, commissioner walker, we're all available if you want to have committees to discuss what is going on, all of us can be there or one or two of us. if i had to put a committee together on this, an official committee together on this, i will do that. you come back with your recommendations to me, what is the best path to travel with this. so we set the goal to have this dealt with this year. >> okay. >> go back to item five. >> thank you for your patience. >> i'm with supervisor hillary ronen's office today the legislation is about expanding and strengthening the all gender rest room law that was initiated back in 2016 and expanded to the state level. but this piece is to expand it to particularly support people who are living in our single room occupancy hotels, expanded for all hotels but really have that big impact for those in the transgender residents in these locations and many of whom still experience safety issues regarding something as basic as using the rest room. and so when the supervisor did this and i

. >> thank you commissioner warshell. >> i'll close out comments. obviously thank you all for coming out and having a meaningful conversation about a topic that kind of haunts our building community for many, many years. so i -- mr. duffy, you wanted to say something? >> just before you finish, joe duffy d.b.i. mr. butler referred to me on a building permit. i want to say it was temporary shoring of a building. those do not go to the planning department. we need to approve them, when it comes to someone on the third floor, we're doing the process and refer to engineers for approval. so the permit he's referencing that i was so wrong on, i was actually right on. a temporary shoring permit. i wanted to correct on that item. >> thank you mr. duffy. i do get it, there's a lot of permits out there. i think in the spirit of the conversation, it's hard to monitor and track, but thank you for clarifying that. >> and just one other thing -- the misrepresentation on plans is as big of a problem as demolition. i don't know if you're getting all that, that's on

warshell. >> there are many things that concern me in this case. that there was initially an illegal conversion is troubling. that three families were exposed to, or three households were exposed to a dangerous situation and you know, we at this point don't know if the tenants received all of the support that they should have following it. that's not necessarily an issue we will cover today, but it's a concern. some of the comments that these proceedings have gone on a bit longer because the property owner is trying to do things on his own and he's not as experienced as he might be with doing these sorts of projects. and so far just a minor over-the-counter permit has been issued. all give me great concern. i share the question that my colleague commissioner walker raised about going back to a single-family versus maintaining the housing of three units. once it had been established, even though illegally. so there are just so many things in this that i find very troubling. that, you know, i see no reason to do anything but uphold the department and

sorry commissioner warshell, just a moment. i apologize for the delays.e're going to vote to accept the candidates. are all in favor of accepting the candidates. >> aye. >> any opposed? okay. go ahead. >> repeat after me. i'm michael robins, do somely swear and confirm that i will support the constitution of the united states and the state of california. against all enemies, foreign and domestic. that i will bare true faith -- and allegiance to the constitution to the united states and state of california. i take this obligation freely without any mental evaluation. >> i will well and faithfully discharge the duties i'm about to enter. >> i will vow and faithfully -- >> during such time as i hold the office as a member of board of examiners, property owner licensed architect, civil or structural engineering seat of the city of san francisco. great. >> yes. you are now sworn in. great. thank you. >> congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> if you want to say a few words you're more than welcome. >> sure. i'm a licensed architect, i have worked in the ci

commissioner warshell please. >> much of what i have to say is reinforcing my colleague's recent comments. discloser, i should mention as well as serving here, i'm president of san francisco victorian alliance, which is preservation organization and so hearing these concerns about demolition of historic properties is more than troubling. it's infuriating. along with all the citizens who contributed to the good journalism that brought the awareness level up on this and the good journalism of the chronicle in making us more aware of this and bringing it to our attention, these are things i think we cherish and i think we should take this moment as there is no point in time we can now go back and say we're not on notice, that there is something very, very wrong here and we need to address it. all of the concerns about deficiencies in the current legislation, which have insufficient penalties, we need to relook, we need to cooperate and work with our colleagues, such as supervisor peskin who is fortunately expressed strong interest in getting resolution to strong reform on this. i share the c
