greatly. >> reporter: today oakland mayor libby schaaf sat down with us. we asked about ongoing problems at the hotel and whether city inspectors are doing enough. >> it concerns me about the veracity of the owner and whether or not something was covered up. it concerns me about the performance of our city employees but it mostly concerns me about our system. >> reporter: schaaf says she wants a more proactive inspection process citywide and supports a demand in this lawsuit to place the towers in receivership taking day-to-day control of the building away from the current owner. >> i could tell you some of the tenants are going to look at this and say what has taken so long. >> i believe that what we really need to do is be proactive. intervene long before things get to this state. >>

tenants the city hopes the lawsuit forces improvements without having to shut it down so no one ends up on the street. >> if you have a tip for 2 investigates we want to hear from you. california gas
