Of ownership or any other change in the building . Nothing on that. These permits are reviewed by department of building inspection, not Planning Department. Okay, great. Thank you. Thank you. Well now hear from dbi. Enlighten us joe ill try to. Joe duffy, dbi. The permit under appeal is a commencement of work not started under a previously permit, soft story retrofit under 34b engineering criteria including plywood walls, simpson walls. This is a renewal permit. So back in 2016 went through a process took them about a week to get the permit. And it was maybe 1,000 valued for the soft story retrofit. They got the permit and didnt start the work. The permit got approved until the contractor was chosen until the building got sold. And then the permit could have been issued in which case the plot wasnt but the permit gets issued, 360 days to complete the work. I dont know what happened in between that time. But then when they came back in 2019 as you heard the option is a renewal permit w
Country nobly. Welcome. I have a great pleasure of having Anders Rasmussen with us, former danish primer to, chairman of the Danish Liberal Party and secretarygeneral of nato. Most recently he is the ceo of rasmussen global as well as the founder of the alliance of democracies which we will get to a little later. Thrilled to see my old friend haynes here, the former Deputy National security adviser, more importantly the Deputy Director of the cia and she is currently at columbia university. Also with us today is michelle flournoy, the under secretary of defense for policy, the cofounder and ceo, the managing partner at west executive advisors helping a lot of small companies. I told them to make opening remarks. I will keep them very very brief because we had a long day and covered a lot of ground. I think we talked about research and applications and talent. This notion of the Global Positioning or geostrategic positioning is one that is founded on the notion of norms and values and t
The kpix5 news at 7 starts right now with this intense raid that happened all around the bay area. Related five suspects in jail tonight. Good evening i am ken bastida. I veronica de la cruz. The suspects are accused of shooting up a house party in orinda leaving five dead on halloween night. Just minutes ago the mayor spoke out about the arrest and gun violence in general. Certainly some people will take great comfort in knowing that there have been arrests. It is just terrific. It keeps going and going, and it certainly is something where, if orinda was not in the conversation before it certainly brings us into the discussion about guns. Da lin is in marine city one of four spots were investigators moved into today.

360 days to complete the work. I dont know what happened in between that time. But then when they came back in 2019 as you heard the option is a renewal permit which is appealable which is why we have an appeal. The extensions on the permits, this permit would have extended for a number of years. We just dont they have to write a letter to say why they start the work. So that didnt happen.

And as i said earlier the work if for the soft story and retrofit which is mandatory in San Francisco if you are on the soft story list. So they are i believe on the list. And as you heard the gentleman speak, there was a deadline of september 15 the department issued quite a number of notices of violation to buildings that hadnt applied and those mainly are buildings that havent filed a permit so they are in
Also working with other members from the city family. Everyone from sfpd have been nice bringing me up to the current level of information they all have. So we have those are discussions that we are having. I can tell you that the Police Department is concerned about everyones safety, regardless of the mode in which they move about the city. Certainly on the sidewalk people i can imagine i wouldnt expect that and i know a lot of people are surprised by that. What we have in that regard is a lot of foot beat officers deployed throughout all of the stations. So thats something that i can imagine or remind or discuss with the captains, who im sure are aware of that as well, about that being something that is addressed. The focus for our officers using police cars and motorcycles, speed is a big issue along with the focus on the five factors. People who are walking and on bicycles, theres a long list of people who are very vulnerable in a collision, more so than vehicles. So a lot of our e
