As well. Trent reimbursed that coworker for the cost of the d. R. With a check that contained the wording reimburse for d. R. In the memo line the coworker brought that check to the deposition and the city is in possession of a copy of it. That coworker testified she didnt know what discretionary review means as well. Another tenant stated in his deposition that he was contacted by a representative of the defendants on three occasions that provided him with a list of talking points and asked that they use those talking points to form the basis of the Public Comments to you all at Previous Commission hearings regarding this application. In short, they imposed their own application to legalize their properties and attempted to cover it up. When you consider they filled in october, 2016, and its now november, 2017, theyve been successful delaying this for 13 months. The only plausible reason to do this is to delay enforcement, collect rent, and to conceal their identity. It would be more
Maybe on the inside. Who knows. They dont affect us or better us in any way. Thats what we care about at the end of the day. We definitely get the worst of it. You did hear a recording from cap street. You should hear it on Mission Street next door to them. Its literally ridiculous. So i could go on. There are other things that happen as well at the business from customers vomitting in our doorway and they only come from that bar. There are two other bars on the block. Never come from them. There are people that do all kinds of stuff and its only from that bar. I know im on a time limit here. I hope you consider this. I know they have pros to them, but i hope you consider the cons as well. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good evening, commissioner. Nice to see you, and, again, thanks for your services. Im al sharwa, doing business in mission for 35 years. And im very protective of our mission community. Im about a block away from the bar that theyre talking about, teeth. And
Comparable replacement unit. Thats vital. I would hope that you as commissioners would demand that of the city, that there be something in writing or something that we can, you know, take, count on, that we can use, if the city doesnt come through. My organization does plan to keep to make sure that the city is accountable and that the city does come through with what theyre saying that theyre going to do. So i would hope that this Commission Also will be making that same demand of the city. I think the main point is to reiterate, if there will be displacements, we want a solid, written assurance that no permit will ever be issued until there is comparable replacement housing found for every single tenant. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening. I stay in one of the units, but im not a veteran. I came from a different program. Its like, if you take these housing away from us, what happens to people in programs like me . Where do i get place ed . Where do i get housed
Legalization process is there is a legal strategy involved. If theyre not involved in the process, they can blame city bureaucracy for the 13month delay infixing their Code Violations and say bureaucracy held up the legalization process and that they shouldnt have to pay the penalties that accrue for the Code Violations. While this d. R. Has been pending, wu and zu have made no progress to legalizing the profit and the tenant victims live in substandard, uninspected housing. Our office has personally met with tenants along with personnel from the planning department, building department, and the Mayors Office, and were going to continue to provide all the help we can to provide adequate housing in the event that they need to find new housing. Thank you. Thank you. And i believe ms. Cohen from the department of homelessness im emily cohen, department of homelessness and Supportive Housing, and im here to share with you our plan for serving any of the households that may be displaced dur
Issues we have. Inju your kind attendance is appreciated. We hope that you allow the veterans to remain where they are with some possible alterations but not to put them into multiple dwelling units. Thank you very kindly. Great. Thank you very much. Well open it up to Public Comment in support of the d. R. Request. I have a couple of speaker cards. Tommy avacolamecca, tony robles and michelle muton, and anyone else that would like to speak can line up on the screen side of the room and come forward in any order. We are in support because we are deeply concerned about the tenants and the tenants only. We would like to see the units legalized and judy wu forced to bring them up to code. Replace any materials that are not safe or appropriate. We feel these units could be legalized if the city really wanted to do it. It would be the easiest solution and the one that would have the least effect on the tenants health. A legislative fix is possible. That should not prevent this commission fr
