. >> good evening, commissioners joel duffey dbi. first of all, i'd like to wish commissioner hwang all the best in her future it's been a pleasure knowing you at the board and you've been thorough in my opinion which i like i like your fairness and it's been a pleasure working with you best of luck in the future. on this case commissioners there's a lot of mostly parts reading the brief and i'll speak about the plumbing permit i want to speak about the complaint and the process that maybe should be taken care of so the plumbing permit was applied for by our plumbing provision on obtain think thursday it was given to a description that's covered to remove and cap off gas pipe i've checked no permit from our plumbing provision so the permit is properly issued for that type of work. and with that said, from reading the brief and from the notices i've seen someone get a got 0 notice to demolish i believe it talks about demolish let's see this. sorry - in those cases we typically see a building permit with plans to if you are removing an

the difference between dbi and planning, planning is only, i believe 15, 20% of what we do. they do no intake, they do no cashiering and their code enforcement is probably 10, 15% the size of ours. they -- their day-to-day interaction with the public is far different from us. like dan just came up and told you, they did 5000 inspections. all 5,000 inspections have to be scheduled. the biggest problems we're having with this system is the intake, the cashiering and the day-to-day operation of scheduling permits, scheduling complaints and, you know, it's much more vast than plan ing ning. >> that kind of just reenforces my point because we do so much in terms of permits that it's more important to have somebody who's not just an i.t. person, but somebody -- when i say on the management -- on the business side, i mean someone who's managing our permits and inspections, someone who can call the shots in terms of -- >> that's what we have been doing. until today -- and we won't get it until tomorrow, we have never seen the system. we've seen parts of the m is. this is what you do

usually in this forum we put a lot and dbi too the certificates of closed session. we have other reaches we can go to the water department and bay area there's one commercial one dwelling i checked that as well we will put that together and see then >> but it could apply to legalize it but the building process with the planning department is there. >> okay. thank you. >> mr. duffey i'm confused how the permit got issued in the fingertip under what circumstances could someone cap off the stove. >> i think that's a great question. i was only speaking to one the plumbing inspires but he said you get actually come in and get a permit to remove the stove and i mean, if you want to take our stove out for example, if you wanted to take a stove out of a breakroom your capping off there is no description on here on this permit where that will be and the building permits are not delayed so a contractor could pull that permit i think i thought of this this morning maybe i'll be letting the plumbing chief know if we see this type of permit in the future we're going to ask are y

the explaining memoranda from the dbi from the mayor's office says this is a method to encourage people to legalize in-law units to provide for housing stock. what the tenant in this instance is proposing that the ordinances that are not applicable are not encouraged to get the tenant to legalize the unit but because we're not demolishing a legal unit it's an illegal unit it's proper to remove a cooking unit from the illegal unit by use of over-the-counter plumbing permit. if a permit for any purpose were made necessary to go through the planning department or in order to legally have a permit issued there 0 wouldn't be an over the counter permit it includes a number of permits but one type of that is referred to as an example from the dbi's literature it any permit that deals with the modification of a kitchen or bathroom so long as there's no change to the building in other words, not blowing out walls that sort of thing. the tenant in his belief again refers to the availability if the owner wanted to attempt to legalize the unit using the code. however, as stated before whether an ow

that is usually when the planners are out there in terms of coordinating with dbi and getting out there before the occupancy is issued, we are certainly opened to doing that and i think that we need to have a bigger conversation with dbi first. we occasionally do it, but, to be honest it has to and it usually happens with much larger projects, like downtown projects that have a long laundry list of approval. >> it is a hired consultant that we check in or something like that. >> exactly. >> it makes sense to do it as part of any c, of a and as we do it on a regular basis already. >> thank you, any other questions for mr. fry? >> seeing none we will move on. commissioners that will place you under the commission matters item three, president report and announcements. >> no report or announcements. >> item four, consideration of adoption draft minutes for the arc on july 16, and the regular hearing for july 16, 2014, i will point out one correction that was pointed out to me by the city attorney's office that karagin and the haden building was misspelled and will be corrected on page 2 of
