Commissioner constant didn ande are excused. We have a quorum. Welcome to the dbi. Youll see a strong tone of earthquake awareness and readiness in my comments today. Tomorrow, as most of you know marks the 30th anniversary of the leoma skwaeurb earthquake ae city is hosting numerous events at the marina, as well as holding a tabletop exercise at the department of emergency management, include within of ie Structural Engineers seok and brop is the terminology for that and the annual duck and cover exercise held at citywide. Thats actually an earthquake event. While much has been accomplished over the past three decades to strengthen buildings seismically. Seismically, we must prepare for earthquakes around the world. With our Retrofitting Program in its final phase, we are at 98 compliance in terms of filed permits and thats quite an achievements. So welldone and 65 completion and that could be stronger but well get there. Private Property Owners have invested approximately 250 million
Experience in the building for the management showing a pattern of neglect, i who wholly oppose this construction in the building. Ive constantly complained about mold and mildew in my bedroom, and my stove and oven not working properly. Not only did they do nothing, but they didnt acknowledge my email. Currently im dealing with darkness in the Building Hallway leading to my apartment since september because they wont change the broken light bulb. That one i asked for twice. Earlier this year, i asked them to do something about the overflow of garbage our building seems to have leading to mice outside my ground floor apartment, and their solution was to ask all tenants to keep their trash inside their homes until trash day, when the bins were empty, and then you could take your trash out. I had a building inspector come in and say my stove is not up to code, and is missing parts, including a fan that makes it safe. Because of the missing part, if i try to move my stove at all to clean

Including a fan that makes it safe. Because of the missing part, if i try to move my stove at all to clean behind it, i risk the possibility of breaking off a pipe and having a gas hazard. When the building inspector moved it so i could show him the state of the wall and the floor coming up behind it, we could smell more gas coming out and see the spills behind the stove. The building inspector told me to be very careful with this until this can be addressed. Ive had this appliance in my kitchen for nine years with no knowledge that it was unsafe, as tenants we shouldnt have to take it to a legal level just to enforce or basic rights to live in a maintainable level. They collect our rents every month but wont maintain the facilities under the law. Im concerned with the current state of the building, that when they go to demo right underneath my living space, things will crumble or fall apart. The current state of the building is unsustainable and adding two new apartments will only mak
