Werent responding in a timely fashion and to my understanding there was no knowledge of that of the supervisor at that time so in other words we felt they responded in a timely fashion and responding mr. Ringel of all of the emails in possession of the Planning Department. You said you agreed with the report of our staff and in relation to the chronology and how this happened. Is that correct . Thats correct. In the report it does mention a number of times the gentleman asked for various records he was entitled to under the sunshine ordinance act and under the open records act, and was not given them and was given them later than the period he asked for them. Youre aware of that . Yes. Okay. So what youre saying when you agree with your report you are agreeing that in regard to your department your department did then violate the particular rules relating to the obligation to turn over these materials at the time they should have been turned over . Yes. We will contend those will not w
Had not a routine inspection within the time period and prioritize those as far as those having the routine inspection and so that is one other thing that we have recommended that we can do and but that typically is of the common area of of the building, and there is not a requirement right now in the housing code, that requires that when you rent a dwelling unit that you have an inspection, there is not. We will sometimes go in to obviously for Residential Hotels we will do the room to room inspections depend oning what is happening with that hotel, we dont do the ip specs ls of the dwelling units unless there is a complaint or a specific history with that building or a City Attorney task force inspection. Generally the inspection is in a common area and that has been in the housing code for a while and perhaps in of the things that you are suggesting if you have a Single Family dwelling there is not a requirement, after it is built and it receives its certificate of final completing
Require the routine inspection, we will be happy to look at those buildings and see if they had not a routine inspection within the time period and prioritize those as far as those having the routine inspection and so that is one other thing that we have recommended that we can do and but that typically is of the common area of of the building, and there is not a requirement right now in the housing code, that requires that when you rent a dwelling unit that you have an inspection, there is not.

It is not just that unit, i am wondering how do we be as a policy proactive in making sure that you know, what is coming down the pike is not going to create a lot of problems for the housing, and the building, that we have carefully built . Even though you have the 40 unit dwelling ask an Apartment Building and one of those units is offered for a short term rental and you are changing one occupant for the other and it is still an Apartment Building and it is still a dwelling unit that is being rented unless there is a conversion of use or work out a permit which would be things that we would address, you dont have a lot of changes as far as life safety issues, however, one of the things that we do for that Apartment Building is routine inspections and so one of the other things that i did suggest to cristina as she get the complaints if there are Apartment Buildings that require the routine inspection, we will be happy to look at those buildings and see if they had not a routine inspe
And i think that we can make it a little more transparent and a little bit better and supportive in terms of virtually everybody that i talked to wants to see the housing that is being constructed built, no one is saying that we dont need all of these New Buildings any way, quite the contrary, they want what the results of these buildings are. So, on the dbi website, for example, starting very soon, while right now, you can actually see the total number of night noise permits we are issuing on a monthly basis and you can also see a kind of a map that will show you where in the city these permits are going. And we are going to add a little more information to that such as how many are involved and when it is expected. And if someone is awakened at 2 or 3 in the morning and they have forgotten and they didnt feel that they got notified, they could go online, and see, what we did in a way of issuing a permit.
