About raw sewage flowing out of 48 Mission Street. Central . No, this is 4817 and if im use the overhead you will see what im talking about. What you are seeing is not mud. That is human waste. I have many examples. Thats the most dramatic one. Thank you for your time. I hope we can improve those Response Times. What would be also when i ask if you dont already and perhaps you have is when you make a request and you see that it hasnt been done. Notify my office because then our pushing from my office makes it happen and we do a lot of that work if its not getting done all right. Thank you for bringing it up, supervisor because that was the way i got any results from your office after i spoke with francis shay. I appreciate your involvement with that. When i have to i do. To point out, for those of us who have jobs and work a lot. Trying to follow a problem to completion even calling your office is time consuming and difficult and it could be made easier. Thank you. Well talk to 311 about how to expedite the work thats being done. Public speaker im grace raley with excelsior can you bring that down. So you asked for action and the excelsior Mission Merchants would like you to consider using the conditional eustachian like scott wiener used to investigate businesses that do not appear from the beginning. We also think that there are some things that could be done. There are no carrots and no sticks for the closed businesses. If you have a billboard you are paying your property taxes from the billboard and you dont even need to advertise to rent. There are things to get more tools. They report to the Neighborhood Watch to report things better. One of the reasons they have data now is they told about the data needed how to report and a lot of People Living in the neighborhood dont have a good sense of how to handle for example feces on my lawn. Will they handle it. Thats a term that we can use. Thank you, i will follow up with the city attorney. I did ask for what tools we can help with and i will ask about commercial use with the office and other carrots and sticks that might apply. There are legislations we have passed with dealing with Vacant Properties and when it comes to our district perhaps its not as strong as it perhaps could be and we can think of other ways to apply to sticks, carrots, if you have ideas about the type of carrots that we might be able to . Im sure we do. What i can say there is some assistance with clean up and graffiti that the businesses could use. Its not their fault that they get tagged and a lot of them dont have the capacity to react immediately and it gets worse for anybody looking to start a business that looks like crap. You have to wait a week until the next corridor ambassador from dpu comes along. There is so much where people dont even know how to clean their awning. This could be some projects we can talk about. Thank you, we talk very often with the office of Work Development and my office has fund clean ups and we urge that dp w does their street corridor as well and that program i believe has been curtailed by the department. I will look at that. We are just a legislative branch but i can certainly impinge upon the branch. This weekend we have our Community Clean team event which is starting at 9 00 this saturday and will be a great place to interest face around dpw to be more proactive around the neighborhood. Thank you. Its small comfort but public works does have a new program where they are trying to do it within 60 minutes Response Time to the report on sidewalks. They are trying to focus on that and clear that up as much as possible. The other thing we found really successful in my district is we are very dense and we have a lot of Community Districts formed, do you know about those, i know that is not an easy thing to do, but in our neighborhood we found that merchants banding together to collectively hire people for Homeless Outreach are more costeffective way to do it than a one off bases. That takes a critical mass. But we have merchants in the corridors who would benefit from that group time. Public speaker good afternoon. I have three small point. I want to bring up to my supervisor that you brought up that we clean up the windows and we can see inside, its going to make a big difference. Right now some of them are chaos. Some are painted and some of them have plywood. Secondly i would like to mention the 311 system used to work well and some departments are not now getting the reports. Dangerous areas are not being taken care of. The park police are not locking up the park and we have a problem with this at night. The same thing with weapons on Mission Street. The city doesnt have problem with armed officers but we would prefer if they werent as visible on the street. Perhaps inside the door would be better. On the other hand if captain mcfadden doesnt believe they need weapons, we believe we would go with that recommendation. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors, thank you supervisors avalos for having this hearing. Supervisor christensen. My name is joel, the President Community association and victoria for all of their work they have done in the district for being very responsive. Im in constant communication with the captain and with amazon and the neighborhood. I wanted to bring up the fact that 71 curtis that victoria did a lot of work on. The problem is that there is feces on your personal property, dpw will not come out and clean it up. There is frustration with the homeowners. But there are issues to take dare care of thing. Lets take care of things that are already law. You have to have Garbage Service and clean out your walk space. Make it clean and enjoyable for people to come in and make them want to buy things from your businesses. There is all these churches all of a sudden opened up on Mission Streets. Prime retail areas are now churches and one at 324 Mission Street and unfortunately it was open for 2 months. Its now an empty space again. But there was no common use. There was no planning and we have these churches showing up. So viable spaces where a business could go in is now off the market. How can that happen. Thats another thing with planning. How can a church just appear. There is another one at geneva and maple. They took over a prime space, which is good but what does that do for the vitality. Thank you very much. Churches give you the third rail. Is there any additional Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. We have a few more speakers from various departments. Mr. Wong. Good afternoon, supervisor avalos, supervisor christensen. My name is wong. I am the assistant d. A. Assigned to the ingleside and tenderloin stations. Im recently assigned there having been a trial prosecutor for 10 years. Its been my pleasure to work with captain mcfadden on problems that are plaguing the ingleside district. The gambling is the top priority. To add to that one thing to what was discussed and that is its very important obviously to have a long Term Solution to shutting down these shacks. Its important to find out who these operators are. As you suggested, you have to follow the money, you have to go upstream and find out the source for that situation. I want to advise yourself and everyone here that there have been efforts made by my office and San FranciscoPolice Department to do that. Its also going to take coordination with other agencies outside this area. My staff and office have had meetings with atf, irs as well as state and federal Gambling Task force in the south bay. We will continue to reach out and collaborate with them as well as the other inter agencies within the city and hopefully to fashion a long Term Solution to a long term problem. Thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate you mentioning that going upstream. Thank you. We have mr. Mike Michael Lennon from public works. I appreciate you being here. I understand you had a meeting at 3 and from planning john from dbi. Mike i want to talk about what that division does and about public works in terms of what the other operations handle as far as cleanliness. The Office Enforcement division we are focused on trash related issues such as garbage levels, we use private conditions and dbi when its on property. I have been told that its hard to hear. If you want to speak close to the mic. Mainly blight enforcement we are concerned with blighted vacant lots. Building usually handles more structural aspect of it. When there is structures in terms of graffiti, we have awnings well send a notice to correct. Do you have to get compliance when you get a violation because sometimes we see properties without a long time. Usually we see trash and other Hazardous Conditions on there. We enforce it on 735. We probably used the blight ordinances in 20 instances and in each of those instances we had compliance. Usually we receive contact and they have 10 days to respond. They need to start the abatement work and they have 30 days to complete the abatement work. In each of those instances when the Property Owners have contacted us, we work with them and they remove the debris and some of them have gone into deteriorated conditions again and gone through the process again. Once they are posted and get the mailing, they get it cleaned up. In terms of the nonvacant lots such as structural awnings and nuisances, we send them notices of violation and give them about 1014 days from the date of issuance. If its something that takes a little longer then we give them a few weeks. If they contact us and say they are working on it, we give them the time to work on it. As force notices that you receive about violations, are those complaints are they involved with the assessment . Its a mixed bag. We do request and we often get request. We do street inspections. We are in the commercial corridors throughout the city. Those happen tuesday through thursday. They started a couple months ago and lasted through the year and we go and do nighttime inspections around the time of garbage pick up so we can get a feel for assessing if there is insufficient service. Who is a bad act or and then we can enforce it that way. We identify once its on our radar, if its through our inspection, once we identify a problematic property, then we through technology reset the inspection. Once its on our radar, we check for the issues to be resolved and if they are tough to crack, we use the Enforcement Office to cite them. How often is the blitz happening. How how often do you do the eco blitz . Its through the division and Environmental Services division, the tree inspectors. They are addressing all the deficiencies that are out there. That happens usually once a year. This is spanning several months so about a third or quarter of the year that this is going over. In addition to that we have the daytime ones and inspectors going out to do inspections at nighttime. The individual inspections that we go through different zones. We went through the chinatown area and union square and mission bayview areas. What it has to do with the mission corridors . We have inspectors out there when they respond to complaints. I did mention the corridor ambassador parts of hsa where we work them so there is four 4 days a week. So friday through monday, i believe from noon to 8 00 p. M. They are assigned a 45block radius where they walk up and down and they are supposed to remove the graffiti and stickers. There are also programs that we supply the different businesses and associations where there is adopt a Street Program where you have the pickers and the streets. The carrots approach. Yes. And we work in other communities where we do a courtesy abatement where they are getting tagged and they supply with paint. And we have that service here in the mission corridor. Are you where we have the supply of paint and brooms . Are you talking about the corridor ambassador . Individuals can join the graffiti watch. They will go through a training with the public works and staff member and then they will be provided with the paint, different supplies, solvents that will remove graffiti and then they are able to attack the graffiti on their own and once they are done with their supplies, they can reup. They will get the pickers and trash bags as they need them. Thank you. I was going to say as far as tools you asked for, to continue the Inter Agency Cooperation and let us know what the issues are and you can only address when you know the issues. Continue to use 311 to report that and continue to work with staff in those specific areas and as mentioned they are doing a code alignment to give basically one easily aligned process. Its something we brought to the City Attorneys Office a while ago when yvonne was at the corridor mission. And part of the simplistic process or universal process. Only the codes we enforce provide a special assessment whereas others arent. A lot of violations apply to the Property Owners. If you are citing a Business Owner who is not in compliance or the population, there is nothing to encourage them to follow the citation and pay up to the mist akes. We have attaching violation to the Business Licenses in order for the violate or that they be required to pay their citation. So you are saying we currently dont have those tools, they are not as strong as they can be . Correct. I would like to address that. If we can have a special meeting in my office to talk about what that would look like and start to address that with legislation. Thank you. If you want to get in touch with francis in my office to get the ball rolling. Thank you. Next up. John from the department of building inspection. We are looking at the property at one edgar place and majestic, those properties that have been around for a long time and dont change very much and are pretty much dormant but those conditions that create a lack of safety or problems exist with squatting and helping us to develop a stronger pathway to bring these buildings into compliance. Department department of building inspection. We have a process particularly with regard to vacant buildings and vacant store fronts. One of our managers is here and hes going to go over the he process and then i will be available to answer any questions. Bill strong with the department of building inspection. We have been involved in the Vacant Building Program through our code enforcement. John is the building inspector from the Vacant Building Program. The original Residential Program dates down to 2009 that legislation that former supervisor david chiu authorizing and most recent was supervisor tang at the end of last year and this year expanding that to the vacant storefront that many of our sister agencies have been referring to today. Im sure you are both familiar with the definition about what constitutes a vacant building and what we do on a regular bases to try and get owners to register with the program. The ordinance, requirement of building that is vacant 30 or more days has to register. The owner of the building has to pay an annual 765 fee. Lie like the other departments we are complaint driven. When we get a call from 311 or the other department, we have a dedicated inspector who will verify that we have a vacant building situation. Once thats done, the owner has 30 days to ledge register the building. If we dont get any information. It goes to a violation and second notice and a hearing can be held and a lean on the property can also be held. I would like to say that the neighborhood part of the recession, in 2005, today we have 236. Out of that district 11 there was a total of about 45 properties on that list. 20 of those have been resolved. District three; there are only three buildings. Doesnt mean there are none, just we are not being notified about them. If an owner of course can prove to us through the various documentation that they are in fact still occupying the building or if the building is for sale or make the Building Code compliant, they can be removed from our list. Here is a general overview map that you can see based on the most current update. We do these updates
