Departments or whether it was policy discussion. That was i think was really helpful for commissioner president mccarthy and myself the Planning Department is concerned about the planning functioning and at the same time, if theres policy things that we need to collaborate on well make it manageable and doable. Great question. I heard that contestant will look like informational items for the public and action items around changing policy and around what else. Those are the board perimeters that we discussed thats why we dont have a set agenda were going to try to wade through an action item vs. An informational item discussion so before we have that joint meeting put out the agenda thats clear to all mranlts and public stakeholders that maybe want to come to the meeting and dont know what agenda and which things are going to be talked about in terms of substance issues vs. Other issues. Through the chair. Small Property Owners and big projects is there a demarcation between those areas for discussions if there are. It will depend on whats on the agenda then the players will decide whether or not detailing thatll go to the meeting. Commissioner president mccarthy. It sounds like it complicated a process. I feel like if i can share age about the first meeting we had 3. There was one, you know, one meeting followed up in a couple of months and another one. That was helpful because the first one was used confidencely it was presentations and taking issues that had been identified and then getting presentations from both departments then at the end of the meeting there were followup requests then a couple of comments coming back and change things from a discussion to an action item. Ultimately those commissions operate individually anyway. One of the reasons why i brought this up as a possibility right now is were in the tail end of our business reengineering and our computer well tail end if you consider 15 years theres a lot of that that is going to require and is requiring a lot of kwpgs between our departments ease implement that and role it out is crucial as we address many is of the issues coming up. For me the issue is when were permitting we need to be able to give more specific information to the project sponsors. How long is it this going to take where is it if its in planning we need to know from them as well how long it is going to take pardon that sounds simple but it has not been. When we talk about the policies and procedures and how we cooperate the departments together in that. I also would love to include 44 in our discussion because were the eyes of both the departments out in the need were the inspectors and planning didnt have an inspection crew they have maybe 2 i think or something its really they dont think our input a lot. So issues of change which use which arent in the per view of dbi we are somewhat responsible for or asked to be responsible for. So i would love to especially like in the eastern neighborhoods when i have Industrial Buildings that get redeveloped and then change uses to more of offices. There was many conversations of that in our eastern neighborhoods plan so getting on the same page with planning and getting information from them about what they would like us to look for and get them involved with and at what point. Its becoming an issue in the eastern part of the city where we were displaying businesses and in some cases Affordable Housing and any number of other things were seeing that new now. Id love to be more conscious of that in our process. So if we can somehow include that in our list of items that would be good and helpful commissioner lee. I have two points to make. The first one is about the possible topics. I think whats written in our agenda is a good start but i think we need to be a little bit more specific. I think those topics with too general for example, the first one about the permit turn around time and to treat the Small Projects and big projects differently but you how about projects under construction we discover later than that hey the project sponsor did something wrong and we need them to go back to planning thats another subject and how about conditional permits if the attendant needs to move somewhere do they treat those differently too. We need to pinpoint those are we dont want to be too board. And the second point i want to make is that i think also that having a joint meeting not only helps us but i feel that it should be some direction for both departments to work together. So instead of the policies we should have instructions to make sure that the Building Department and Planning Department are working together maybe memos written out we know were going to go through the process again, you know, thats the whole another part of why were wanting to have a joint Commission Meeting commissioner warren you think its going to get up more specific but take more time so that going both commissions and staff feel comfortable with the agenda items. The other things i want to say is give the staff credit theyve been working more 80 together and i want to give director dewey kudos pushing that in fact. Not only by having the planning staff in our building but on the fifth floor and theres been a little bit boeing but i think were working through the bugs and kudos to planning staff theyre coming to our advise committee meetings. So Something Like that is laying the basis for those more detailed questions as well. I concur the goal is to wrap up as commissioners maybe commissioner walker go ahead. I also and i noticed the Fire Department earlier here i want to make sure we include the Fire Department and Health Department officials. If not you been, you know, with us at least part of the conversation because theyre so integral in our permitting process. And theres we can have delays around that with the fire marshall so just make sure their officially part of our discussion right. Not the commissions itself but the staff. They were those departments were there at our first joint meeting they presented so we could ask both the planning and dbi if something comes up what do you do. Responding to issues that have come up. Many of us from our constitutes or the public they have hiccup in the process to try to identify those things to smooth them out so everyone is working from the same script after sitting down with them i havent had a chance to take a look talk with my constitute but if we are successful we should be cognizant if we take our few items and try to encourage this on a yearly basis so what we cant get done this year we can do next year. Whats more important there are other issues to be discussed. Im hoping the goal is to meet again commissioners if you could email your top two or three and maybe well obviously come back and agree on that but that will be helpful. My sense is we need to have our worry about list what do you think. Theyll put their worry about list together and maybe well have a date we can come up with a date so the goal is to get it done with within the next five or six months really. Well, no just to agree on the agenda i think could take us a couple you have round. 3 months. Okay. Great im not going to open myself you been u up but 3 months grace definitely it should be showing thats encouraged on a monthly balances but my sense is commissioner castillo. If you have any thoughts send them into us and well sit down and process them between the 2 of us the vice chair and if everybody is happy well go forward and see. Great. But im duly noting get it down sooner than later. May i start. Yeah. Okay. I notice that in my last few abatement appeals weve heard issues where tenants and Property Owners disagree on whos allowing assess in and whos not i wonder a could a we develop a program that might mitigate some of the mysteries mini could we do something to keep both parties lets say for lack of a better word honest interest boo do we know the fact it is true that someone isnt granting assess are do we know for a fact someone tried to get in and couldnt maybe it could mean having one of our nonprofit organizations to be a witness to the fact maybe or Something Like that. Great idea. I dont know where they may come in at the directors hearing level whether theres a discretionary send it 0 a third party im just throwing it out there were going to see more landlord tenants disagreements that be great if it was resolved quibbler. When we do receive a complaint and when we respond and go out and inspector do we invite the pretender that were going to go out and allow them to accompany us . If we receive a complaint and say oh, my bath tube is clogged up and we respond with an inspector do we tell the Property Owner were going out through to respond to 0 complaint what you like to join us Something Like that . I believe the way it is now the tenant calls to make a complaint and housing or building or whoever makes the appointment with the tenant to go out and inspect it to get the landlord involved or the owners representative we have to have more information at the time when we take the complaint who is the owner and the number or the address its an extra step we have to do. Im not saying we have to accommodate the owner but they should think invited and its up to them to join you or not. That might help oh, someones going out through to look at my property we try to get anti between twentyfour hours this might impede it. That might be not a good thing the tenant might not want them involved before the documentation that happens quite a bit so i mean because this is something we can schedule for the agenda but it seems that reasonable if theres issues that come up during our processes, you know, issuing notices of violations where theres where the landlord is claiming he cant get into fixtures it we might bring in our groups because we have about tenant and landlord representatives. I know when we use them theyre really successful so i encourage us to use them more for this type of thing. I think it would help i agree we can set for after the hearing us housing or for any, you know, conflict between the owner and we can have them revel it to reduce the number of cases like this. Absolutely they might not do the appeal but resolve the issues thats a great idea. inaudible . Could i suggest that maybe because of the possible delay in the business very engineering because of the personnel we have an actual agenda item when we heard the testimony on the agenda item were counting on the system being up and running. I think she had some meeting next week with a timeframe. Maybe at the next agenda i have a full on you want the stakeholders here. Sure why not. I guess its based on the act its going to be delayed again so well have it but make sure with commissioner walker its going to be desolated and not on the timeframe. Just another item and maybe would follow this its to follow up with the grand jury suggestions and report the staff is dealing with it but there was two parts to the grand jury re789sz one say was to staff but to the brt. It would behopeful us if that bp r or whoever the consulate is with our incisions theres policy things points b r. C. Could have done better not just the staff but if we could discuss that with them that would be helpful so it kind of would enpuss with the other cities implementation are questioning we just a strange city that cant get this done or is there this normal. Yeah. Okay. inaudible . Move the minutes of october 16th with all necessary if any corrections. Second. I. inaudible . So moved. Second i. inaudible . The minutes of the regular meeting inaudible .

Attorney for the appellant, adam clammer, the action reverse the order of abatement and just one moment. I just want to clarify, if you are going to hear the two appeals together, i just want to make sure that everyone is clear that that is what is happening. Is that your intention then . That is fine with me, if we did it that way last month. So. The departments presentation and the appellants presentation regards both matters. Okay. Members of the board, good morning, chief Housing Inspector and i have little to add from last month and the hearing on these two particular appeals and i think that these very specific directions from the board, last months meeting was to give the Property Owner and the occupants 30 days to resolve their issue and come back and report their progress, and i will tell you that we attempted a reinspection last week and this was with the contractor on site and i dont believe that he could hear because of the work that was ongoing and he could not hear the inspector that was there and there were a lot of phone calls from the site, but the inspector did not gain entry but since a lot of this was more extensive to the other specific things that the Property Owner needs to provide you, at this point, i have little to say except that to hear from both parties, and they can then inform you what progress that they have made. And then, from there, you know, we made our position clear, but if, they are close to getting this resolved, we are more than happy to work with all of the parties concerned on that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good morning, allen, on behalf of mr. Adam clammer and it is my understanding that appeal number 6783 and 84 are being heard together and i am going to keep this brief and so mr. Soriano can further speak on the issues that i am go going to address. But, the theme of the few minutes that i am going to talk about is substantial progress, as requested by the board at the last hearing. And we have worked hand in hand with the plaintiffs and their council and as we advised you in our supplemental report, dated march 12th, the plaintiffs in this case, or the tenants in this case have moved out of the subject apartment on february 25th, 2014, and our client for the landlord has provided the other half of the relocation expenses, to the tenants. And in addition to that, during that procedure, of them moving out, our clients in the Property Owner mr. Clammer has had the tenants personal property claim pack removed pursuant to the analytical and the recommendations of the restoration of the Management Company which was one of the requests that the board put forth they last hearing, in addition to the substantial progress that was noted on the two pages in our supplemental, and our march 12th supplemental report that was provided to the board we have had the further progress at the property, including at this time, all plumbing repairs of the property have been completed, and any, and all major window repairs have been complete
