Can i ask you a question since was there another way to be compliance besides paying the bill. Some people are an pandora you know system and theres a way to pay through them they showed exemptions if you quality so it give you perimeters on when you it effects you or not effects you but bottom line it should be addressed and not avoided and people get letters dont do anything about it some days at the go ahead sued than it becomes problematic.

Ill be brief he apologize he was going to bring is Small Business owner something to hand out on the first item an update of the train on august 5th part of you mean continue to be part of attempt but i city and bay area to improve our Service Public transit for workforce of issues and patrons and so i know that ben sitting here and more data points i attended a press conference for the mayor and some transit officials on friday august 5th i think that went well to promote the campaign the Public Information campaign so one thing on approved service and know where it is to go and happening krurn you if not to after im done come to the microphone not very comfortable with that and again, i apologize i was going to bring you the press release but hello great yeah, im sorry i should have brought 4, 3, 2 , 1 should things we had a press conference to kickoff the campaign the first late night transportation and the first night of 3 thousand people half said they especially\know about all Night Service or generally about the all nights service and didnt know where that ran and studies have been a barrier for use of all night alcatraz transit thanks both the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency the thirty second add icon about the all nighter and the bart stations and on buses message about encouraging people to check all out all nighter. Org and a lot of information about the options and well continue that campaign with additional work if you head to night life. Org youll see some marketing materials given our focus and emphasize on late night workers a lot of the materials and add options are focused on telling workers after your shift is over or medicaid to your shift all nighter. Org. Are those returning currently. Yeah. We have an initial set of prints and bus adds in the Service Center and bart stations i say one on the 19 bus yesterday its ones cable but that is a first set of marketing working with and amplify that if the future. I recently ran into someone that complained about night life transportation and lived on an owl line and used the owl line and said she didnt feel safe is there any data on the safeties of the night life. Safety is absolutely a concern and something in our survey data i think that significant portion of responded and certainly a higher percentage of female respondents said that safety detold her them from traveling all night hours one thing to understand the data about all night transportation that we dont have up until this point a set of metrics about what the actual all nights in terms of reliability, in terms of on time performances, safety and safety issues as well were working in parallel it the marketing work and other work establishing a set of data medics over time well understand what specifically all night conditions from their preefshg. Anyone elaborate why they didnt feel safe. A number of things certainly the physical conditions of the streets themselves in terms of Street Lighting and not having a sense of belonging what the bus will come thats been a concern that many people have expressed the people are getting off their shifts they have cash they feel urban design safe those are 4 this Partnership Webinar has informed a variety of strangulations that weve been working on. Awesome thank you. Thanks. Sorry for if segue sorry by that and then the Public Comment that you already heard is on the next update we did, in fact, engaged with the oewd as of today, this happened on the cap issues sounds like thirty people were in attendance and the attorney put out good information did they film it hopefully, well have access to that and lick it to if theyll put it on there we can all use the footage depend on the idiot so thats helpful because this is the thing that comes up every single year anytime people get a new operation or start advertising about the entertainment well get those letters and a quick educator and done maybe we have the problem somewhat solved and the other item under staff update is that as you recall we changed in july the procedures as well as the code related to extending the grants the commission asked for the staff roster an extensive grant was given formally so ill do this this evening and report to you that on august 10th of this year we granted an estimation of 24 months through august 2018 of the conditional grant to the Golden State Warriors for the eastern at the mission bay and again, im reporting to you not necessary will i for action but as information you have requested we do that thats how ill bring those to you as they come up if youre interested in we did get a letter from the attorneys about why, if you will, the judge cause the language in the code and if you read the papers you know probably that is quite a bit of litigation potentially a good deal of construction so hopefully that two year with do will be adequate. Is that two year window not adequate will they could be. Theyll not i dont know if we can get further ill is to refresh myself. Ask for a second extension. Okay. Ill have to go back and a lot i dont know who the trajectory of that eastern im sure they want to go as fast as they can but things keep on happening well have to roll. So good okay. And thats for me unless questions im going to turn it over to the director. No which inspector first. Good evening, commissioners so things to report to you start with the at t park with the guns and roses concert i did the sounds like check and around if the neighborhood they did a couple of things different from the last several shows they dropped speakers on the north side of the venue to keep the sound from blasting in castro hill where a lot of complainants were coming from it seemed they moved the speakers closer to the seats this helps with the sound whatever i dont hear anything from castro hill from 8 to 9 that was great and down near the stadium obviously heard it but pretty good with the sounds like i was impressed. Did we get complaints coming from castro hill. I dont think so. We got one from castro boosters a long time resident they especially\hear anything and very happy. Wow. Whats the opposite of a complaint. The time they did a concert weve not heard anything with that water show. It was a it was a clear night. It was only in the studio. That was clear it had an effect on the sound. Was 2 guns and roses traveling or at t parks. Im not sure it is looks like. Therein lies the difference. I dont believe that it is atenolol informed us of that. Because i mean as add that into Public Comment. I did a walk through salsa party a rock bar several complaint after the email complainants said basically the disturbances with relatively infrequent like something started up recently thats why 33 she was complaining ive been by there no compliance issues or on the sidewalk or coming and going a handful of people not a dozen people not a compliance issue with that public works theyve been receiving complaints about noise from a complainant after doing a little bit back and forth with him, i contacted the management and told them they needed to be in contact with him and workout the issue they went blaefrd and coordinated and apparently got the situation together i want to follow up and figure out what happens the situation was good and the playlands bar receiving complaint from several xranlts im by ever be weekend and the same as for months not a sounds like issue. Their complaining about sound or the amount of people. Complaining about sound. I cant believe showing how many people are waiting for that spot. Youll know this one. Hours waiting to get in i guess. But i mean when i did the inspection you can hear the bails one or two decimals not near where im not sure that the complainants understanding that but not be enforce full 2, 3, 4 communicating. Are they directly next door. Their diagonally located across the street. The particular complaints his window faces the venue and ventilation it is a bad situation for her blue mostly from the vehicles and the patrons anyway to kind of a tough situation but nevertheless, the venue shouldnt be theyre in inclines moving on a couple of new complainants the dirty pecan theyre a salon a common thing around the city the complainant says theyre doing entertainment i talked with him he complained through the email and during the entertainment fence let me know i can try to do something if im on shift or whatever so nevertheless, i told them guarding send me an email ill check it out and in the meantime forward the materials the promotion materials as evidence or whatever and a start mexican revolution cafe having issues im hoping they get it together relatively soon because at this point maybe theyll need to come and talk with you well hold off but kind of getting to the point of ridiculousness having shawn ive dealt with and talked with him at the length a couple of weeks ago getting to a point not much i can do and poorhouse it is the same complainants from playland and apparently they have karaoke one sunday evening that was i ended up hearing about so poorhouse sounds like seems fine theyve not gotten complaints minor complaint but that seems a nonissue ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. So revolution cafe that is still their doors are open and people are in the streets and whats the issue. Pretty much i think now the complainants ive talked to an friday, he said during the day they can have their doors open during the day i explained to them very clearly that if you have entertainment your doors need to be shut we went back and forth for 20s minutes they know they need their doors shut entertainment. Weve seen them if they show up again at another meeting well want to bring them in they have about a month. Commissioners any questions forces director pauley. All right. Thank you good evening, commissioners inspector shawn burke we received a complaint do i believe about a commercial building that i think houses comcast their squalling the roof the 360 and approximately theyre representing out the rooftop so theyre saying events are frequent i followed up with the complainant to get more information and try to determine in that within our purview or maybe sfpd two sounds like tests one new overflow room and one new view at spin the pingpong palace i issued a certification sforg a situation i brought up last hearing and was at the Conference Center having their windows that during a performance and the owner was not onsite during the event we spoke in some detail about policies, scandalizes bringing in their own sounds like systems and clients managing the sounds like center when hes not around i hope to speak with him in more detail to try to insure if hes not onsite we have a or more 2 seems like when he is not on site things are array inspections i am working with folks trying to undercover when frequency are causing problems to the newly built hotel across the alley we have an applicant will be in front of in the tenderloin coffee an interesting unique situation they use karaoke system at the night and backward through the stereo during the day in preparing as combo inclines ive told them to cease the karaoke but systems i went in there to establish a limit to not disturb the residents above as we approach the hearing date that weekend was busy test d and a lounge did a walk through an event called bootie their predict event according to their gm and this one for whatever reason back to school or maybe were not sure but a lot nor presally more quack up than normal so we did a walk through to make sure everyone looked good and a couple of incidents a medical due to over heating from what i heard and then audio from across 11 street i did a preliminaries investigation trying to figure out where the sources of disturbance and fouling with the complainants this next weekend to do a residential sound test. That wraps up any questions. So the wests bay Conference Center the same yeah weve spoken to you during that one events. Yes, sir. So hes not onsite for the whole duration of the events. It is a hit and miss generally speaking on site and Something Else managing the event i use the word managing lightly from what ive seen quite a hands off approach to monitoring sound levels and keeping windows closed interacting with clients to make sure the sounds like levels are within reason sometimes, i stop but im usually passed off to a client as opposed to communicate to an operator. Do they have their own sounds like system. Maybe the third time theyve allowed or havent prevented someone from bringing theyre on system even though this is in the contract. I may have missed this from the last meeting do you have an update on phoenix. Yes. I mistakenly left that out weve not received a complaint in three weeks phoenix has as they are in the process of updating their system from a technically stand point they hired a technician to monitor the sounds like levels and confine to the djs to make sure theyre within the range 3 events ago ever since then were looking and sounding good and a limit an order a processer that gives them more control what is output into their system. Thats great. Yeah. Good job. Any comments if commissioners no. All right. Lets open up for Public Comment is Public Comment on the staff report or executive directors report . All right. Not seeing any, Public Comment is closed.

President tan commissioner joseph congratulations again, im going to turn it over to lisa nor cognizant of the project than i am i building weve passed all our inspections and requesting a grants rather than a continual grant other than lisa. Is this timer going to starts i want to check and see off so you dont have the presentation but should be there. Oh, there it is. Whoops i proceeded i dont know how to make it go back with the mouse ill explain what urban solution is for 2 two years urban Solutions Built more better neighbors one best at that time, in under served neighborhoods and phil the vasectomies we firmly believe that vacancies creates a vacant and create the better to be safe than sorry businesses to assess the capital and help them with the leases and provide Technical Support one of the things we do we help to activate merchant corridors and we have been active in the fillmore merchant corridor for over 20 years that concludes my report. The merchants in the lower fillmore neighborhood helping them with the ramping and access to capital and putting on events and marketing and others aspects to bring feet on the streets to the lower fillmore we working closely with the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development and as part of the work supporting the lower of him corridors we were asked to activate the former business folks in the neighborhood and machineries have been suffering by having a huge, huge space empty for so long and in fact, it was our understanding that when the building was built the fillmore Heritage Center the neighborhood and local residents will have access to the space and now the space is not being used as a entertainment venue it is important we have the space open and qualified so were honoring the commitment to the neighborhoods and the residents and also our neighborhood merchants can benefit from having feet on the streets rather than scott wagner an enormous vacant storefront as part of project we put together a enormous program to benefit the neighborhood and the idea is that we will have the fillmore Heritage Center open and available for events maine for the communities to rent the space and it will be available through december 2016 when we first started the project back in january our original plan to activate 4 spaces therapy the art gallery, the Screening Room, the lobby which is basically the walkway tattoos parking garage and the Cocktail Lounge so we built how plan on that and thought oh, people can have an event not art gallery a show or invite folks and have a Film Festival going on in the neighborhood but really become obvious people said if youre activating this we want to put on a show and designed for music go where is the music so coming from that we spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to have music and we have successfully had 3 music events had a salsa festival and concerto and had to keep on going to the teamster to pull a oneday license and finally jocelyn contacted us and suggested we come and receive an apartment permits only activated until december but such desire to use it as intends thats why were here for our place of entertainment grant. As you can see we have a website where folks in the neighborhood can see what we have available whoops how do i make it go to the next oh, whoops no, i cant say go backwards no going back im sorry not clear for i apologize one of the things we have a technically training call big tech for small buzz i could benefit we help the businesses with technologies and help to build their biz and what happens after december 2016. The city will issue an rfp to get the building sold this is activating the building while in the process while the rfp process is there we dont want it sitting there by. And planning to hold how many more events there four months period. Funny you should ask to events that we have people that have confirmed theyre interested we have a report. Weve had 13 events since we went active and officially the kickoff at the end of may may 27 a migration ceremony and hosts june 18th that was amazing and then it is gone on and folks interested in having business presentations and town hall meeting a nonprofit that is using the restaurants area to have a symposium on fundraising and the supervisor candidates meeting and poetry and talk shows and merchant bizarre as well as a halloween masquerade. I get it. Does that answer your question. Now it is available people are interested in it happen and as parts of grants agreement with the office of Economic Workforce Development were making live Space Available at low rays for the community and the rentals rate commissioner crews 6 security guards they include janitorial services, and includes staff time so it is all of our effort of marking the Space Available and assessable to the community to have events and activate the space. So we have done considerable did you have a question. Yeah. He did you said the rental includes 6 security guards. Is youre actually 6. It is depend on the space their renting for instance, for the theatre the occupancy is 4 hundred and 17 so we will as part of rental fee that will cover that of security guards will be covered as their rental fee and require people renting it to have more security. Do you have people represent that simultaneously like the Cocktail Lounge and the theatre at the same time. Nates thats not happened we have people interested in renter the Screening Room but all connected to the same events. Therefore the occupancy went up to what. The Screening Room has an occupancy of 39 can i ask another question during the fence is alcohol served or a indicatorer. It depends on the event some events have alcohol it requires that the events host pull a abc license and then, of course, needs to have that with someone that is either the carter or the absent license. Kibitzing. You want to keep ongoing with their presentation. Sure weve spoken about the outreach and a considerable number of supporters people that have hosted events and looking forward to hosting more as you can see we have the support of supervisor president london breeds and Mayors Office of Economic Workforce Development weve reached out the hoa the lower i fillmore are Merchants Association and individuals merchants and neighbors and the Fillmore Group has submitted their letters of support. So i love your line feed on the streets that is awesome that is great i guess my question to you is that it is a great says that a great neighborhood theres a lot of jazz and great music going on there why do you have any idea why it didnt work before and how are you been well have you a short timeframe if it workers or didnt work your timeframe is short. Yeah. For this the purpose of this project so activated it with specific events where people are advertising them theyre either public or private events but their advertised it hard to support a 4 hundred space jazz jazz is a smaller intimate venue. Thats a great answer. Okay. Thank you. Commissioner lee. Can you tell me how do you screen or use i mean a ton of nonprofits and a ton of different causes im curious how you go b. A. About you know wanting to know, you know who will be a great consumer for this evening will all your venues stop at midnight. My dads says nothing good happens after midnight laughter . Her dad lived in. Now my son a becoming a teenager im sticking by that i know that is on tv. So the way we are screening is first for the most part the priority to folks the neighborhood that have neighborhood connections saying look we want to put something on life giving and viable for our neighborhoods for the most part folks inviting people that know people that automatically kind of changes the tone of the fence because of people that know each and everyone we require anyone having an events provide their permit application you have to put in a deposit and have to go through the process of getting additional Events Insurance and may the city and county of San Francisco naming them an, an insured that kind of stops people like if youre not going to do that how will you be organized to put on a events. Your security plan we discussed a few meetings good i think this is the First Security plan with an activate shutter plan we had a discussions a while back and seems cover is a good model for a lot of the night clubs in the city im impressed on the items owe commend you you dont need such a plan. You dont i hope not but thank the gentleman. We have a comment it is important that everyone the commission to i think something a security person looking at it it what if this happens if this happens you know. Well, i think this project is really debris know it were for 4 months i wish for 40 years using a great space and activating and allowing the communities members to use it is too important for nice venues their cost be prohibit active the fact for graduations and parties is a wonderful thing thank you very much for dead on arrival doing that. Thank you. And teaching people to do events planning in a complicated city is great too i think those hosts december 2016 to continue on you know depend on what they decide to do with that afterwards there is a 0 role that you as urban solution can play and the community can play in making that venue thrive so commission oh, i think supervisor president london breeds office here and take Public Comment. Hello thanks for coming in and finally activating that space how long having you started doing fence im not sure if i miss your presentation. The very first events the trail events the superbowl theo up the balloon will this work it do and from that the Mayors Office of Economic Workforce Development and supervisor president london breeds office enabling us to use their funding in project and so breel weve been Holding Events since may we are amazed at the sheer amount of planning to opening the doors and doing it right. This is an opportunity to extend our lease there until after december or is that a hard thing. Thats up to the budgets that was recently passed in the funding is available then hopefully you know you mohcd and supervisor president london breeds will help us certainly right now you know the project in no way breaks even but really is a wonderful project for the communities and i think that really sends a great message yeah, you can think of doing something great and make to happen. Im glad you activate the communities and the communities was part of jazz in the fillmore back in the day and hopefully consider jazz decisions as parts of our line up. Anyone you know sends them over. Commissioner anatomies rfp issued do you have any idea if the city is going to insist that anyone that buys the building keeps it as an entertainment venue. I dont, i dont know that i know that the city is interested in whoever buys the property also participates in the community and accepts communities input and hopefully communities activation in that part of project to have the space activated in the hopes that whoever because this is buyable you can make this happen so it invites the communities and keeps the communities as part of that thats the finding when we developed it. Jazz is a pure American Music and jazz and r and b the base for everything like modern music the because of rock and roll keeping that Financial Base alive really, really important that is a great venue to do it in i wish you a lot of luck. Thank you. All right. Lets open up for Public Comment i think there is quite a few speakers line up and come up one at a time say your name two minutes. Ive been here before and started to do great because he out loud outside promoters to come in it brought in a lot of people of hundreds in the fronts and able to work and work really well, something went bad it shut down i do events and side this since 2009 and been in business my ideal was to bring in the foot traffic and maids the communities strong the market and eventually it will do that i did that for years and everything went bad i started to give up but thank god they let me in that place we have a ball they were cool this year a costume that all and make that easy for us were marketing all over the place promoting the you fillmore area that history will die if we worry about the fillmore im going to rock and roll talking about the histories thats very, very important we use this venue to continue and others continue to promote and market the fillmore i hope you guys stick to it i have to go to work laughter . Hello how you doing im a long time resident first of all, good evening and time to send kudos to urban solutions and scomploopdz office for the tremendous work no one else the last 6 months but the last two years that anchored this with a project that has hope from the beginning it was absolutely built in 2008, let me say im a Community Activist but wear many hats one as a producer and one of the things about this project and one of the questions you commissioners rays after december we have worked with the malice and ocii to make sure that communities benefits will be at the top of the agendas when this property is actually sold to the new entities coming forward so if i look at the committing infillmore and the language out of the Mayors Office we need to increase the foot traffic one of the things as a community doing is actually meeting amongst ourselves and trying to figure out how to come out with a winwin plan like the plan to make it is win for the communities and the win for the homeowners and the neighbors and the city hall and those that come to the events we wanted you to consider that we support this an urban solutions and thank you for this opportunities.

Im the last speaker with the Mayors Office of Economic Workforce Development and formally district 5 aid for too long not tell you how long but wanted to say really supportive of this project and supervisor president london breed felt strongly about letting the community having access to this property especially, since it was promised before when it opened in 2008, the communities would have access to it many communities members had nor access than others she felt if it was going to as a city activate it the communities had to have the easy access as you can see communities here that hesitate come passionate about that she funded urban pollutions to come in and activate while were preparing the rfp that will be out late september to sell the building and one of the questions that was asked by the commissioner joseph about actually looking at the rfp and what la happen as far as communities benefits and one of the things that we know about a lot of the properties that were sold that had Community Benefits tied to them a lot of them were not honors in the way the communities benefits were written and supervisor president breed was aware of that so as we moving forward with the rfp he headed to oewd to make sure the communities benefits will have teeth to them this time so none what turn theyre back on the communities when that it a Community Benefit thank you for your support and well be moving forward.

Before we vote obviously since the Mayors Office of housing and the districts supervisor is helping you know part of the ideas was great when it came in but as usual the grants higher rents and running a business is not easy i mean chinatown all the storefront will be empty because of rents it is great that the city has fined a way to give this to the communities and he here on behalf of the project sponsor e hoping the new owners will make that affordable as well to this program can continue i kind of have a sent mental value 13 hundreds fillmore my grandfather had hesitate Grocery Store in 19 thirty, of course, he sold that and it get leveled when we built this business it is a little bit of a thing i like to have if corner active a great restaurant and bar but need traffic to help them out i support in as well. With that, take a vote oh, no one more comment i think many of us that live in San Francisco were aware of the damage by the city and county of San Francisco to redevelopment and the damage not neighborhood and communities and entertainment and night life industry so nice to be able to take a small tiny step to repair the harm by putting Entertainment Venues into the communities i look forward to serging what comes of that and hope that produces a model we can hold on to with the new owner in that space.

Our goal to gradually to soundproof the venue and take reading in his place and the neighborhoods across the street well soundproof the back walls and soundproof the roof and see how effective and do the installations and see how effective and the last were investing in a d s p processer that electronically limits the music we can actually create a timeframe on a system where the base is down gradually as the venue opens from 2 00 a. M. Down enthralling so people inside the club are not roll the dice realizing i am clear i dont want to 415 having no issues and a big invest thats our best interest.

Great any questions from commissioners all right. Have a se any any Public Comment . Come on up speak into the microphone. Hello, everyone. My name is andy im the i was the current owner i stood up here 6 years ago and applied for any entertainment permitted it was an amazing process to it changed my life and was a lot of fun we took a long beat up and defunct venue and did Something Special and had any run in the night life industry and had a good run im thrilled that the person that were turning this over to is jean nab and she has a lot of experience with night life in the city shes done a tremendous job pounding the pavement and talking with the neighbors and reaching out to me and the previous owners and getting neighborhood inputs as well as other preempts required to operate the venue im enthusiastic about supporting gina and here crew and the new venue thanks. Others Public Comments on the house. President and Vice President s mark again there is a lot of history in the house i want to jump up and the city behind me is a partner in this goes back to the point i sold him the mars bar for 15,000 a little bit of history but they know what theyre doing gina if you remember the lounge she had beautiful spaces in town and david w is involved and lived in the neighborhood i think theyll do a good job i highly recommend them the sounds like in the alley as you may know is tough but every time they philosophically flip theyll add for stuff i think i represent this place for years and years and years. It is the sounds is pretty tight in under it would be better another the nightclubs will be happy this is absence more to activate it stretch of 11 street it is you know historically that is one of the better entertainment spots sorts centralizing located between the mission and the soma and downtowns and i think that gina is great shell do a great job. I think one more im don working with gina specifically on the sounds in the building and i want to point out that shes financing low proposed to do whatever it takes to prevent the sound from escaping specific out the back into the norwalk alley the lovely of responsibility and you know for sight into this is something i rarely see if ever in the industry i do this year inform a number of people opinions shes commented commented to creating that responsibility and go into their spaces to make sure thats not an issue before she opens. I have a point of information what materials are you using. Were developed a city based on the best practices there will be an equal fwramd in front of of the air separation and go layers of quiet rock that are insulated and all the air gaps around the building where it meets the side walls and ceiling will be seemed like that layer will wrap up into the ceiling for i know a standard floor length sheets rock so part of ceiling with the back wall and potentially the entire ceiling. Youll do it extraordinarily. All internally. On top of the quiet rock youll paint it. Another layer of krierlgdz cotton or fabric f that treats the inside were looking from an could internal and protection of the residents around. Great, thank you. Public comment . Not seeing any, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners. Anyone else like to make a motion. First of all, i want to say that i know that over the years issues with 11 street venues and norwalk alley what that gentleman described there will be sounds like installation i know that sounds like funny he said den enemy it is used everywhere and the air space is really important i feel shes got great partners whos actually been around this business a really long time he knows his stuff so thats great. I support this application do you want to support it by making a motion. Thats fine. Ill. Ill let stephen. Can i do one. And, do one i used to have a business on 11 streets of San Francisco. Drunk people get hunger. I motion to approve that permitted with the Good Neighbor policy and. What about the police conditions. And the police conditions which youll not have any problems radio the police commission. Thats the last page of the packet. My packet i lost any last page. It has a divideder and. A lot of the seasoned owners are taking over the sound is right and the proper security plan and thats what 11 street needs because of the density im hoping that you know the neighbors are more confidence now thats a big reason he support 24 because a thought managements so you guys all good on the police conditions. Youre making the motion. Im fine with the politician commissions but if you have comments. Finish our motion. Im good. Okay. So the motion to approve with the Good Neighbor policy of the Entertainment Commission and the police condition is there a second. Second. We have a question for staff have you theres a request for the entertainment staff to look at the sounds like. Thats happens at every permitted. It is a request from the neighborhoods to have an inspection urging the abatements test. But the sounds like system thats why. It was a contempt if the neighbor they ask it to be conditional. As long as they contact us and tells you theyll be home the inspectors doesnt have time to chase them down. Inspector burke will work with them. I want to add the neighbor or neighbors will have a sounds like check they have to make themselves available to the inspector you could loss that window if youre not available well do the best way of getting ahold of them. Okay. Is that good commissioner perez. Yeah. So a position to approve with the Good Neighbor policy and the police conditions and. Sounds like test when the neighbor is present all right. A second.
