That concludes my announcements. Is there any Public Comment on the president s announcements . Seeing none, our next item is item 3 general Public Comment. The bic will take Public Comment on matters not part of this agenda. I am kevin chang. I would like to talk about 18th street. In the review conducted by building staff. Planning commission on may 9th requested a history review. Building and planning inspected the site inspection on june 13th. In addition to 13 previously identified Code Violations. They identified 11 more issues. Serial permitting. Expansion of building, conversion of Storage Space without permits. Building staff scheduled to present the findings to Planning Commission tomorrow on july 18th. However some issues. Unpermited activity done in plain sight without any enforcement action taken. No less than 17 on site inspections and despite complaints by the public in 2016 to 2018, building inspectors took no action and determined no violations existed. Complaineds concerning the permitting, some of the same Code Violations recently determined. Not until after the Planning Commission requested the permit review did the building staff issue is notice of violation in may 2019. Building inspectors issued one nov and identified in 2016 some walls which were fences built without permit but did not identify the majority every training walls were unpermitted. 822 cubic yards of the original building was excavated without permits. It is like noticing the trees but missing the forest. Trees were cut illegally but not noticing the entire forest was being raped. Permit history review needs to be thorough and transparent. Building inspection and Code Enforcement uptodate has not been. How could this happen . What should be done . That is what the building inspection needs to investigate and must hold Senior Management to act. Thank you. Good morning. Here are some sheets for each of you. It is about the bic Planning Commission joint hearing from april 2018. It is three hours and 13 minutes. I picked out people. I didnt just do the public. It is very interesting. The comparison with the one you just had in june is stark. There is one thing that stood out besides the comments i highlighted on the sheet for you. You were going to get together with the Planning Commission sometime before the end of the summer of 2018 and do something, you know, have a blue ribbon panel. I dont know what happened to that. I know the legislation came from the board. That was a good idea. I think there were a lot of good ideas at the hearing especially marrmare mary gallagher. I wish she were still here. With overhead, please. I was involved in a dr in an action at the board of appeals for a project across the street from me. There was an excavation to put a unit below the garage. I was concerned about that and concerned about the preservation of the facade which is a mediterranean battle front, it is very nice. That is going away. What happened with the second unit that was very pleasing to the Planning Commission and staff. It was three bedroom unit and after the dr, they didnt deal with the facade issue or the excavation of the unit. I thought to unit should go in the garage. It is made for that. With the revision they did reduce this back for the neighbor down the hill. Your knowledge staff said two building staff said they didnt have proper egress. I dont think they met the standards. My point is not to point fingers but to say it would have been nice if that could have been discovered at the beginning and the Planning Commission and staff and the neighbors could have had more information. What happened just to finish the story. We did go to the board of appeals. They didnt do anything about the facade. When the commissioner saw it he said you have got to have a second bedroom that is happening now. Nothing has happened yet. It is sitting there. You know, i dont know how they are going to do the second bedroom and have a decent living room. It is kind of a mess. I hope it works out. I just think it shows that somehow building and planning need to Work Together at the beginning. If you have some issues, the Building Code has issues that dont mesh with the planning code or planning departments policy to try to dense fi, then something has to happen. I dont think this unit will be on the market. It is not very desirable. Thank you very much. There are no additional Public Comments, we will go to item 4. Action to swear in a member of the coadvisory committee. They recommend gina for the street to expire in 2022.

She is noted for always doing it right as the first standard that is throughout the project. It is with absolute pleasure that i welcome her to Code Advisory Committee.

A inquiries to staff. At this time commissioners may make inquiries to staff regarding various documents, policy, practices and procedures which are of interest to the commission. Commissioner walker. Iowa like t i would like e an update about the cover program. A couple years ago supervisor weiner and i worked on a focused Financial Assistance program for landlords with Code Enforcement issues and couldnt afford to do the work. It took forever to get it up and running. I would love to get a sense from the folks in the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development who managed that and maybe some of the Code Enforcement groups involved with referrals, it would be good to revisit that. I always intended to try to expand that because there is such a need for helping around Code Enforcement and getting things done especially around seismic. It would be great to have an update to be able to see the path forward, if there is one, that we can move from here. Thank you. Thank you, ms. Walker. Commissioner lee, please. Commissioner lee i would like if this can be on the agenda or some way to review the complaint process and be the issuance of novs on problems that involve two or more properties. I am not saying that i am critical of anything. Right now it seems like we need to find a way to get multiple properties together and resolving some of these issues. I am trying to see if there is some way to get in front of it, have a thirdparty involved before it gets to the abatement process then to us. I dont know how. I wonder if we can review the process of how we do business, how we issued the novs, how the departments try to resolve this with the owners, then how it gets resolved. Commissioner washall. Is last meeting was with the Planning Commissioners. Supervisor peskin presented a broad sweeping proposal for the first hearing with us, and many of the elements of it were in dispute and i know much more work is going to be done, but in particular for the building inspection commission, i think the very first issue that we would love to see is that a good statement jointly issued between the staffs of
