GARVEY SQUARE COOPERATIVE APARTMENTS. THOMAS PAINE SQUARE APARTMENTS AND OTHER PROPERTIES CURRENTLY OR PREVIOUSLY UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF A DOMUS MANAGEMENT COMPANY. >> THANK YOU. AND THIS IS WHY I

ASSUME MOST OF YOU ALL ARE HERE FOR THIS HEARING. OUR COLLEAGUE SUPERVISOR BELAL MAHMOOD WHO REPRESENTS THE WESTERN EDITION IS GOING TO LEAD THIS HEARING. FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR

CALLING IT. >> I THINK IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT IT IS NECESSARY BUT I'LL SAY IT ANYWAY. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY AND TO ALL OF YOU IN THE AUDIENCE WHO HAVE SUFFERED UNNECESSARILY BECAUSE OF

THIS, I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR BEING HERE AS WELL. WITH THAT I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD. PLEASE TAKE IT AWAY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHERYL. COLLEAGUES, I'M GOING TO SPEAK FOR

A LITTLE BIT BEFORE DIVING INTO THIS HEARING. THE WESTERN EDITION NEIGHBORHOOD WAS DEVASTATED. WE HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE MANY YEARS AGO DUE TO THE ACTIONS OF JUSTIN HERMAN AND THE STAFF REDEVELOPMENT

AGENCY BUSINESSES WERE DESTROYED. BLOCKS UPON BLOCKS OF HOMES DEMOLISHED THOUSANDS OF BLOCK SAN FRANCISCANS DISPLACED SCATTERED ACROSS THE CITY REGION AND THE COUNTRY. BUT SOME REMAINED. AND OUT OF

THAT RUBBLE CAME TWO TYPES OF INSTITUTION THAT PROMISED STABILITY AND AN UPLIFTING FOR THE WORKING CLASS RESIDENTS OF THE WESTERN. IN ADDITION, LIMITED EQUITY COOPERATIVE HOUSING COMPLEXES OR CO-OPS

ARE SELF-GOVERNING HOUSING COMPLEXES WHERE DECISIONS ARE MADE BY RESIDENT SHAREHOLDERS LED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE SECOND TYPE OF HOUSING THAT WAS DEVELOPED, BUILT AND ARE OWNED BY THE HISTORIC

BLACK CHURCHES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH AND BETHEL AME CHURCH. BUILDING ON THE STAYING POWER AND COMMUNITY DRIVEN MISSION OF THE CENTURY PLUS OLD INSTITUTIONS, CHURCH OWNED

HOUSING AND CO-OPS ARE BOTH CENTRAL TO WHAT MAKES THE WESTERN CONDITION GREAT. >> THEY'RE A BIG PART OF WHAT'S ALLOWED THESE VERY FAMILIES THAT ARE THAT WERE DISPLACED IN REDEVELOPMENT TO STAY IN THE

CITY OR RETURN HOME. >> THEY'VE ALSO BEEN MEANINGFUL TO IMMIGRANT SAN FRANCISCANS WHO HAVE ALSO BEGUN TO CALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOME IN HIGHER AND HIGHER NUMBERS. >> HOWEVER, OVER THE YEARS THE QUALITY

OF THE MANAGEMENT LEVEL OF UPKEEP AND THE FINANCIAL STABILITY OF THESE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS HAS BEEN UNEVEN. >> SOME HAVE THRIVED UNDER STRONG OWNERSHIP SUPPORT OR A VISIONARY CO-OP BOARD. OTHERS HAVE

BEEN AT THE BRINK OF DEFAULTING ON LOANS RIDDLED WITH DVI COMPLAINTS AND HAVE HAD STRIFE TEAR AT THE INTERPERSONAL FABRIC THAT MAKES THESE COMPLEXES AND THIS GREATER WESTERN ADDITION COMMUNITY SO

MEANINGFUL. >> TODAY WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THREE COMPLEXES WHOSE RESIDENTS HAVE COME TO US BECAUSE THEY FEEL THEY'VE RUN OUT OF OTHER OPTIONS FOR FEELING SECURE IN THEIR OWN HOMES. >> THOMAS PAINE

SQUARE APARTMENTS IS OWNED BY ALLEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION WHICH IS AFFILIATED WITH BETHLEHEM CHURCH WHO PURCHASED THE APARTMENTS IN 2001. >> RESIDENTS HAVE LONG REPORTED ISSUES BUILDING

CONDITIONS, INABILITY TO ACCESS TENANT RECORDS AND SERIOUS LAPSES IN SECURITY. A FEW BLOCKS TO THE WEST IS THE MARTIN LUTHER KING MARCUS GARVEY APARTMENTS HERE. YEARS OF LEADERSHIP TUMULT COMBINED

WITH THE REVOLVING DOOR OF MANAGEMENT COMPANIES HAS LED TO LEAKING ROOFS SHODDY PAPERWORK MANAGEMENT AND INTIMIDATION OF RESIDENT ORGANIZERS IN THE LEAD UP TO THIS HEARING. >> MY OFFICE ALSO BEGAN

WORKING WITH THE RESIDENTS OF ALMA PARK WHO HAD ISSUES OF BUILDING MANAGEMENT AND BOARD LEADERSHIP. >> ADDITIONALLY, BOTH CO-OPS HAVE SEEN EVICTION FILINGS IN THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS RELATED TO NON

RECERTIFICATION UNDER U.S. HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SECTION EIGHT REQUIREMENTS. ALL THREE OF THESE COMPLEXES IS THOMAS PAINE SQUARE, KING GARVEY CO-OP AND AMIL PARK CO-OP HAVE ONE MAJOR THING IN

COMMON THEY ARE ALL MANAGED BY DOMA'S PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. >> THE LODI BASED FIRM IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN CHARGE OF MAINTAINING UNITS OVERSEEING THE HUD RECERTIFICATION PROCESS, MANAGING CO-OP SHARES AND

ENSURING RESIDENTS SAFETY. WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM RESIDENTS IS THEY HAVE NOT PERFORMED ON THESE TASKS. DOMAS IS HARDLY THE ONLY BAD ACTOR. NOR ARE THEY ALONE TO BLAME FOR THE DIFFICULTIES RESIDENTS

AT THEIR PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN FACING. THEY'RE EMBLEMATIC OF A BROADER ISSUE OF POOR MANAGEMENT ACROSS CO-OPS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT WE HEAR FROM OUR NONPROFIT LEGAL AND ORGANIZING PARTNERS ALL

THE TIME. >> MANY OF THE ISSUES WE'RE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT TODAY ARE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY'S DIRECT PURVIEW AND ARE TYPICALLY MATTERS FOR THE COURT OR TO BE PRIVATELY SETTLED BETWEEN TENANTS OR

SHAREHOLDERS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT. THESE BUILDINGS ARE UNDER DB II AND DEPARTURES STICTION. BUT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR THEIR PART HAD PREVIOUS LOANS WITH THEM ALL CAME

MARCUS GARVEY BUT NO OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY. >> ALL THREE PROPERTIES RECEIVE ASSISTANCE FROM HUD DIRECTLY THOUGH ITS PROJECT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE OR PBR A PROGRAM AS OPPOSED TO LOCALLY MANAGED PROJECT

BASED HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS WHICH MEANS THE S.F. HOUSING AUTHORITY HAS UNFORTUNATELY NO AUTHORITY. >> DESPITE THIS HOLDING THIS HEARING AT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, GOVERNMENT AUDIT AND OVERSIGHT

COMMITTEE IS IMPORTANT FOR A FEW REASONS. >> FIRST, THE AFFECTED COMPLEXES ARE CENTRAL TO THE FABRIC OF THE WESTERN EDITION. >> THE HEALTH OF THE FILLMORE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN THE CITY MORE

GENERALLY IS CONTINGENT UPON THE FUNCTIONING OF ITS INSTITUTIONS INCLUDING AND ESPECIALLY ITS CO-OPS AND CHURCH OWNED AFFORDABLE HOUSING. ANY THREATS TO THESE INSTITUTIONS IS A THREAT TO THE WHOLE

NEIGHBORHOOD. >> SECOND, DOMAS HAS DEMONSTRATED A PATTERN OF POOR MANAGEMENT AT THESE COMPLEXES THAT WE WILL HEAR ABOUT THE SPECIFIC CASE OF SHORTLY. BUT THE ROOT ISSUES HERE ARE GENERALIZED BY

RAISING AWARENESS OF THE NATURE OF THESE ISSUES. THE HEARING CAN HELP INFORM TENANTS, CO-OP STAKEHOLDERS AND THE CITY ENFORCEMENT BODIES ACROSS THE CITY ABOUT WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR AND PROBLEM

MANAGEMENT COMPANIES AND EVEN ENCOURAGE POLICYMAKERS TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS THAT HELP NOT JUST THE RESIDENTS OF THESE THREE COMPLEXES. AT THE CENTER OF THE HEARING BUT THE WHOLE CITY. THIRD, CO-OPS

LIKE MLK, MARCUS GARVEY AND MILL PARK ARE GENERALLY NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD BY CITY AGENCIES AND HOUSING NONPROFITS. SUPERVISOR MELGAR HAS ANNOUNCED LEGISLATION THAT WILL HELP WITH CO-OP GOVERNANCE AND

THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CO-OPS AND THE TESTIMONY WE HEAR TODAY SHOULD HELP INFORM THE LEGISLATION TO ENSURE THESE ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED AND PRESENT DAY CO-OPS AND NOT REPLICATED IN ANY NEW CO-OPS THAT

MAY BE CREATED. >> AND FINALLY THESE RESIDENTS WHO YOU WILL HEAR FROM TODAY DESERVE REAL ANSWERS FROM THEIR MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND FROM THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT OWN THESE COMPLEXES. AS A SUPERVISOR I

HAVE A RESPONSIBLE PARTY TO ENSURE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO STAY IN THEIR HOME, HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR BASIC HEALTH, HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR SAFETY AND THAT THEIR SECURITIES ARE MET, NEEDS ARE MET IF THOSE

NEEDS ARE NOT BEING MET. WE HAVE TO BE THE ONES TO ELEVATE THOSE QUESTIONS AND IF NEEDED ISSUE SUBPOENAS SO THAT THEY CAN COME TO THIS PUBLIC SETTING AND EXPLAIN WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON. >> TODAY WE'LL

FIRST HEAR FROM THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION WHO CAN GO OVER WHAT THEIR JURISDICTION IS AND GIVE A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THEIR INVESTIGATIONS THUS FAR. >> THEN THE EVICTION DEFENSE COLLABORATIVE WILL

SPEAK TO THEIR WORK AND THE PARTICULAR ISSUES FACING RESIDENTS AT THESE SITES. >> THEN I'LL ASK QUESTIONS OF SELECTED RESIDENTS FROM THOMAS PAINE SQUARE, MLK, MARCUS GARVEY CO-OP AND ANIMAL PARK CO-OP

IN THAT ORDER. AFTER THAT WE WILL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT TO GET MORE INDIVIDUAL STORIES FROM RESIDENTS AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY. >> IF ANY REPRESENTATIVES OF THE OWNERSHIP OR THE CO-OP LEADERSHIP

OF THESE COMPLEXES OR IF ANY REPRESENTATIVE DOMAS IS PRESENT, THEY WILL ALSO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. WE ARE EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES OF BETHEL AME CHURCH BUT

DO NOT EXPECT THE ATTENDANCE UNFORTUNATELY OF DOMAS OR THEIR CO-OP EITHER CO-OP BOARD. >> FINALLY WE'LL WRAP UP THE HEARING BY ISSUING SUBPOENAS OF THOSE BODIES WHO WERE CALLED AS PART OF THIS HEARING

BUT DID NOT ACCEPT THE INVITATION OR DO NOT SHOW UP TODAY. >> WE KNOW THAT THAT IS FRUSTRATING AND THAT WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES HERE TODAY. MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING YEARS TO

EXPRESS THESE ISSUES FACE TO FACE WITH THOSE COMPANIES. JUST KNOW THAT YOUR TESTIMONY TODAY WILL BE A CRITICAL ELEMENT OF NOT ONLY FUTURE HEARINGS BUT FOR ANYONE ELSE GOING THROUGH SIMILAR

DIFFICULTIES IN THEIR HOMES. >> I'VE ALSO INVITED AND ASKED FOR INPUT FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT BUT THEY ARE ALSO NOT PRESENT AND DID NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION.

UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE WE CAN ISSUE SUBPOENAS TO SOME OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PARTIES, WE CANNOT ISSUE SUBPOENAS TO FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS. WE HAVE ALSO REQUESTED INFORMATION FROM THE CALIFORNIA AFFORDABLE

HOUSING INITIATIVE'S WHO MANAGE HOUSING CONTRACTS IN CALIFORNIA FOR HUD. BUT THEY DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND TO MY OFFICE'S REQUESTS IN A TIMELY MANNER. STAFF FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING

INSPECTION ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND TODAY BUT THEY HAVE MET WITH OUR OFFICE TO DISCUSS ONGOING ISSUES PARTICULARLY KEN GARVEY. >> FOR ALL OF OUR GUESTS INVITED TO SPEAK IN THIS PORTION OF THE HEARING,

THEY WILL GET ABOUT TWO MINUTES TO MAKE A STATEMENT AND THEN WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH QUESTIONS. >> WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO INVITE DIRECTOR MOSELEY FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION UP TO THE

PODIUM ON HIS WAY. OKAY. THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE EVICTION DEFENSE COLLABORATIVE WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE DIRECTOR TO ARRIVE. IS TUESDAYS. >> WE ARE JOINED TODAY BY TUESDAY THORNTON, A RESTAURANT

STAFF ATTORNEY WITH THE EFFICIENT DEFENSE COLLABORATIVE ALONG WITH OPEN DOOR LEGAL WHO WILL SPEAK WHO WE SPOKE TO IN PREPARATION FOR THIS HEARING. EDC REPRESENTS CLIENTS IN EVICTION CASES RELATED TO

DOMA'S PROPERTIES. >> HI. GOOD MORNING. I AM REPRESENTING TWO TENANTS OF THE KING DERBY COPS. >> I WILL SPEAK TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE MISMANAGEMENT THAT I HAVE WITNESSED AND ONGOING AND THE ONGOING

EVICTION LITIGATION AT KING GARVEY. BUT YOU HAVE DOZENS OF TENANTS HERE WHO ARE THE EXPERTS OF THEIR OWN LIVING CONDITIONS AND I URGE YOU TO BELIEVE THEIR STORIES AND TAKE THEIR REQUESTS SERIOUSLY

WHEN THEY SPEAK TO THE HABITABILITY ISSUES AND OTHER OTHER SERIOUS ISSUES THEY'RE EXPERIENCING IN THEIR HOUSING. >> I WILL ALSO STATE THAT THE PRACTICES THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING TODAY ARE NOT UNIQUE TO

CO-OPS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. >> THE PRIVATE MARKET IS RIFE WITH PROPERTY MANAGEMENT ABUSES. BUT HERE THE PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WERE CREATED TO KEEP SAN FRANCISCANS HOUSED AND THAT

OBJECTIVE SHOULD BE OUR TOP PRIORITY. >> SO AS YOU KNOW, IN EVICTIONS IN THE PRIVATE MARKET AS WELL, LANDLORDS ARE EXPECTED TO STRICTLY COMPLY WITH NOTICE REQUIREMENTS WHICH REQUIRE THEM TO STATE

EXACT AMOUNTS OF RENT THAT ARE DUE AND HAVE EVIDENCE TO BACK THAT UP. IN BOTH OF THE CASES OF TENANTS THAT I'M REPRESENTING AT KING GARVEY THERE WERE MONTHS OR YEARS OF CONFUSION ABOUT THEIR RENTAL

RATES AND THEIR RENTAL ARREARS LEADING UP TO THE EVICTION NOTICES BEING ISSUED. >> YOU KNOW THE NOTICE AMOUNTS THEMSELVES AND BOTH OF MY CASES ARE VERY SMALL. ONE OF THE NOTICES IS FOR $5,000, THE

OTHER IS FOR $6,000. THESE CASES COULD BE RESOLVED VERY EASILY ACTUALLY AND WE HAVE OFFERED TO RESOLVE THEM BASED ON THE AMOUNTS STATED IN THE NOTICES. >> HOWEVER, THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT LEDGER HAS

ARREAR AMOUNTS THAT GO ONE OF MY IN ONE OF MY CASES THE PLAINTIFFS ARE CLAIMING THAT THE TENANT OWES LIKE $47,000 EVEN THOUGH THE NOTICE AMOUNT IS ONLY $6,000. >> SO EVEN THOUGH THE NOTICE ITSELF IS

$6,000 AND COULD BE RESOLVED LIKE THAT, THESE OTHER ALLEGED ARREARS ARE KIND OF BEING TROJAN HORSE IN THROUGH THIS EVICTION CASE AND WE'RE NOT ABLE TO JUST GIVE KING GARVEY THE MONEY AND RESOLVE THE

CASES AND MORE TROUBLING IS THAT WE HAD A MEETING I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT MONTH IT WAS BUT SOME PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM WERE PRESENT AT THIS MEETING AND CHRISTINE MASON, WHO IS A PROPERTY MANAGER AT DOMAS,

OUR OPERATIONS MANAGER I BELIEVE STATED THAT DOMAS DID NOT HAVE THE RECORDS TO BACK UP THE ARREARS THAT WERE IN THESE LEDGERS AND EVICTION CASE SHOULD NOT BE BROUGHT FORWARD IF THERE'S KNOWLEDGE THAT

THE ALLEGED AMOUNTS CANNOT BE SUBSTANTIATED AT ALL. SO THE FACT THAT THESE CASES WERE EVEN BROUGHT FORWARD IN THE FIRST PLACE IS ALARMING. BUT THEN WHEN YOU SPEAK TO THE TENANTS AND REALIZE THAT THEY

HAD BEEN WORKING WITH DOMAS TO TRY AND RESOLVE THESE DISCREPANCIES TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY WERE BEING ACCUSED OF NOT PAYING RENT FOR MONTHS THAT THEY HAD PAID TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEIR ACTUAL

ACCURATE RENTAL AMOUNT WAS SO THEY COULD GET BACK ON TRACK AND PAY THEIR RENT INSTEAD OF WORKING WITH TENANTS, DOMAS CHOSE TO PURSUE UNLAWFUL DETAINERS AND SO NOW THE CITY IS PAYING ME AND MY

COLLEAGUES TO DEFEND THESE EVICTIONS. I WILL ALSO SAY THESE CASES HAVE TAKEN A LOT MORE TIME THAN I THINK ANY CASE I'VE I'VE LITIGATED IN MY THREE YEARS AT EDC. THE THE PLAINTIFFS ATTORNEY IS

LITIGATING THEM VERY AGGRESSIVELY AND FILING A LOT OF MOTIONS IN COURT AND IT'S OUR POSITION THAT THESE CASES COULD BE RESOLVED THROUGH SETTLEMENT BUT INSTEAD WE ARE BEING PULLED INTO COURT ROUTINELY

ON DISCOVERY MOTIONS AND JUST REALLY INCONSEQUENTIAL MATTERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE OFFERED TO PAY THE MONEY THAT WAS ALLEGED IN THE NOTICES. >> SO I DON'T KNOW YOU KNOW, THIS IS COMMON JUST

ANECDOTALLY IN MY EXPERIENCE AS A AS A TENANT ATTORNEY THAT WHEN THERE'S TURNOVER OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT NEW PROPERTY MANAGERS TRY TO COME IN AND GET THE BOOKS KIND OF CORRECTED OR WHATEVER. >> BUT IF

THEY DON'T HAVE RECORDS JUST SUBSTANTIATE AMOUNTS THERE'S THERE'S SERIOUS MARGIN FOR FOR ABUSE THERE. SO I THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT I THINK SHOULD BE ANSWERED BY PEOPLE THAT UNFORTUNATELY ARE

NOT HERE TODAY. I THINK THE THE ABSENCE OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT THESE CASES INTO BEING IN THE FIRST PLACE IS IT ILLUSTRATES WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING WHICH IS THAT THERE WAS JUST A REFUSAL TO

TO WORK WITH TENANTS PRIOR TO PRIOR TO LITIGATION. SO AND YOU KNOW IN CALIFORNIA JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW WE DON'T HAVE WHAT'S CALLED THE RIGHT OF REDEMPTION. SO EVEN IF A TENANT COMES UP WITH ALL OF THE

MONEY DEMANDED IN THEIR NOTICE, WE CANNOT MAKE THE EVICTION CASE GO AWAY AND THEY COULD STILL ALL OF THESE TENANTS COULD LOSE THEIR HOUSING EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE OFFERING TO PAY ALL OF THE MONEY. SO

IT'S REALLY SERIOUS AND IT'S REALLY CRITICAL THAT THESE CASES BE DISMISSED ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY SOME OF THE PLAYERS THAT THERE ARE NO THERE'S NO EVIDENCE TO TO SUPPORT THE EVICTIONS.

SO I HOPE THAT WE GET SOME ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THESE CASES DISMISSED. >> THANK YOU TUESDAY. A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. >> I THANK YOU FOR REPRESENTING THE CLIENTS AT THESE

BUILDINGS . >> TAKING A STEP BACK, I THINK ONE IS YOU HAVE AN EXPERTISE IN EVICTION. CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH HOW THIS IS TYPICALLY PLAY OUT, PARTICULARLY WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM THE RESIDENTS BUT ALSO

FROM THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT IS THIS QUESTION OF UNLAWFUL DETAINERS AND WE'RE HEARING FROM ONE SIDE THAT IT'S NOT HAPPENING AND SOMETIMES IT IS. SO CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH WHAT IS AN UNLAWFUL DETAINER

AND HOW DOES IT FIT INTO THIS EVICTION PROCESS? >> DEFINITELY AND I'M AWFUL DETAINERS ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH IN ALL OF YOUR DISTRICTS SO I THINK IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT THAT YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THAT

PROCESS. >> SO IF A TENANT DOES NOT PAY RENT AND ALSO SOMETHING LIKE IF A TENANT DOES NOT PAY RENT OR A LANDLORD IS ALLEGING THAT A TENANT DID NOT PAY RENT OR IS IN VIOLATION OF A TERM OF THEIR LEASE

OR IS CAUSING A NUISANCE ,A LANDLORD CAN SERVE THEM WITH A NOTICE. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF NOTICES THERE THAT ARE THAT COMPLY WITH STATE LAW FOR NONPAYMENT OF RENT SPECIFICALLY AT A LANDLORD

NEEDS TO SERVE A TENANT WITH A WHILE FOR SUBSIDIZED HOUSING. IT'S A 30 TO 30 DAY NOTICE FOR NOW BUT MOST COMMONLY IT'S A THREE DAY NOTICE. >> SO A LANDLORD SERVES A TENANT WITH A THREE DAY NOTICE TO

PAY OR QUIT AND THE TENANT IS HAS TO IN THREE DAYS PAY THE ENTIRE AMOUNT DEMANDED IN THE NOTICE IF THEY DON'T THEY ARE AN UNLAWFUL DETAINER AND EVICTION PROCEEDINGS START SO AN UNLAWFUL DETAINER IS

JUST THE NAME FOR THE LAWSUIT FOR AN EVICTION. THREE DAYS IS NOT A LOT OF TIME ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF YOUR PROPERTY MANAGER FOR YEARS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THESE AMOUNTS ARE.

>> THEY MIGHT NOT RESPOND TO YOU IN THE THREE DAYS TO TO RESOLVE THE AMOUNTS AND SO IF YOU DON'T COME UP WITH THE FULL AMOUNT IN THREE DAYS IT GOES INTO AN UNLAWFUL DETAINER LAWSUIT AND LIKE I SAID IN

OTHER STATES TENANTS CAN PAY THE FULL AMOUNT DEMANDED IN THEIR NOTICE AND THE LAWSUIT RESOLVES UP UNTIL THE POINT WHERE THERE'S A JUDGMENT AGAINST THEM IN CALIFORNIA ONCE THE THREE DAYS IS OVER,

THAT'S IT. >> AND EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALL OF THE MONEY, YOU CANNOT RESOLVE THE LAWSUIT AND YOU CAN BE REMOVED FROM BY THE SHERIFF. >> SO DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? >> YES, THANK YOU. AND IN THE

COURSE OF LITIGATION ,OBVIOUSLY TENANTS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DENY THAT THEY DIDN'T PAY THEIR RENT OR OFFER AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES AGAIN, MANY TENANTS HERE ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH IMPLIED WARRANTY

OF HABITABILITY DEFENSES WHICH IS YEAH, MAYBE I DIDN'T PAY THAT RENT BUT I ACTUALLY DIDN'T OWE THAT RENT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT PROVIDING HABITABLE LIVING LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND THEN IN THE CASE HERE HOW

MANY CLIENTS DO YOU REPRESENT WHO HAVE RECEIVED UNLAWFUL DETAINER SO FAR IN KING GARVEY YES I AM REPRESENTING TWO TENANTS IN KING GARVEY. I WANT TO SAY THEY WERE BETWEEN 10 AND 13 UNLAWFUL DETAINERS

FILED AND THEN 13 AND THEN HONING IN ON SOMETHING THAT YOU MENTION WHICH IS THIS QUESTION OF THE AMOUNT THAT IS BEING REQUESTED AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT ALL EVICTIONS CAN ONLY BE A MAXIMUM OF ONE

YEAR OF MISSED PAYMENTS. SO HOW IS THE MARCUS GARVEY AND THOMAS MANAGEMENT AND PARTICULARLY A LAWYER MERCEDES GAVIN HOW ARE THEY USING THE SETTLEMENT PROCESS TO GET MORE THAN A YEAR'S WORTH? YOU

MENTIONED THE 46,000. YOU SAY A BIT MORE ABOUT THAT DISCREPANCY. YEAH. AND AGAIN THIS IS YOU KNOW, I'M SPEAKING TO THESE CASES BUT THIS IS COMMON PRACTICE ACROSS PRIVATE HOUSING AND AND PUBLIC HOUSING

AND SO A LANDLORD CAN ONLY FILE AN UNLAWFUL CAN ONLY DEMAND IN THE NOTICE RENT THAT CAME DUE WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. >> BUT LIKE I SAID EVEN IF YOU COME UP WITH THE AMOUNT DEMANDED IN YOUR NOTICE

THE LANDLORD DOES NOT HAVE TO RESOLVE THE LAWSUIT. THEY CAN GET JUDGMENT AGAINST YOU AND EVICT YOU STILL. SO WHAT A LOT OF THESE LANDLORD ATTORNEYS WILL DO IS THEY WILL LEVERAGE A SETTLEMENT WITH

OUTSTANDING ARREARS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE NOTICE. SO IN ONE OF MY CASES ACTUALLY THEY ARE ALLEGING THAT SHE DIDN'T PAY RENT FOR MANY MONTHS IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS THAT SHE HAD. BUT BUT AGAIN THE

NOTICE THE NOTICE IN BOTH OF THESE CASES IS LIKE $5,000 AND $6,000. BUT THERE ARE ALLEGED RENT DEBTS FROM YEARS EARLIER BEFORE DAMAS WAS EVEN THE PROPERTY MANAGER THAT THEY ARE SAYING WERE NEVER PAID

AND ALSO THEY DON'T HAVE RECORDS FOR AND THEY DON'T AND PAY THE PROPERTY. CHRISTINE MASON STATED TO US THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE SUBSTANTIATING THOSE DEBTS YET THEY ARE ON A LEDGER THAT HAS

BEEN PROVIDED TO ME BY COUNSEL. AND SO AGAIN BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT OF REDEMPTION LANDLORDS CAN USE ANY OUTSTANDING ARREARS AND AGAIN LIKE IN THIS CASE THEY ACTUALLY CAN'T PROVE THEY STATED

THAT THEY DON'T HAVE RECORDS TO PROVE THESE ARREARS BUT IN OTHER OTHER UNLAWFUL DETAINERS EVEN IF THERE ARE DEBTS TRACING BACK YOU KNOW MAYBE TO COVID WHEN THEY COULDN'T EVICT ON THEM LANDLORDS WILL

LEVERAGE THOSE DEBTS AND SAY YOU YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO STAY UNLESS YOU CAN COME UP WITH THE FULL AMOUNT THAT YOU OWE SO THEY'LL TROJAN HORSE THESE AMOUNTS THAT OTHERWISE COULD NOT BE THE

BASIS FOR AN UNLAWFUL DETAINER IN ORDER TO GET MORE MONEY OUT OF TENANTS OR MAKE IT SUCH AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION THAT THE TENANT HAS TO MOVE OUT EVEN IF THEY CAN PAY THE AMOUNT ON THEIR NOTICE. >> AND

SO THE LAST QUESTION FOR ME YOU MENTIONED AUSPICIOUSLY THAT THIS THESE CASES HAVE TAKEN MORE TIME THAN ANY OF THE CASES YOU'VE TRIED BEFORE. >> WHAT MAKES THIS ATYPICAL IS THAT THE LAWYER INVOLVED

LIKE WHAT IS ATYPICAL ABOUT THIS THAT IS SO EXTREME? >> YES, THE LAWYER IS LITIGATING AGGRESSIVELY WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY HER RIGHT TO DO. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN MULTIPLE STATEMENTS MADE THAT WERE NOT

ACCURATE. FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK KEN GARVEY'S ATTORNEY INFORMED YOUR OFFICE THAT WE HAD BEEN THAT ALL OF THE ATTORNEYS, ALL OF THE TENANT ATTORNEYS HAD BEEN GIVEN OFFERS TO SETTLE THE CASES AND WE HAD

REFUSED THEM. >> I HAD NOT RECEIVED AT THAT POINT OFFERS IN EITHER OF THE TWO CASES THAT I'M REPRESENTING. AND WHEN I SPOKE TO ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING OTHER KING GARVEY TENANTS AT OPENDOOR LEGAL, THEY

CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THEY HAD ALSO NOT BEEN GIVEN OFFERS. >> SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF THAT. AND ADDITIONALLY JUST THE VOLUME OF MOTIONS THAT ARE BEING FILED IN THIS CASE, YOU KNOW, NOT TO GET TOO IN

THE WEEDS BUT LIKE DEMERS TO ANSWERS MOTIONS TO COMPEL FURTHER INFORMATION ON DISCOVERY WHICH IS AGAIN WITHIN THE RIGHT OF AN ATTORNEY LITIGATING A CASE. >> BUT GIVEN THAT WE'VE OFFERED TO SETTLE THE

CASE ON THE AMOUNT DEMANDED IN THE NOTICE, IT SEEMS THAT THE TIME WOULD BE BETTER SPENT RESOLVING THESE CASES INSTEAD OF COSTING THE CITY AND AND THE LANDLORD MONEY LITIGATING ISSUES THAT ARE NOT

PERTINENT TO THE CASE. >> THANK YOU MR.. MY COLLEAGUES. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? PRINCE FIELDER JUST ONE QUESTION THAT STATE WAS IT A STATE LAW THAT YOU REFERRED TO IN WHICH LANDLORDS DON'T HAVE TO

ACCEPT THE AMOUNT THAT'S RIGHT THE RIGHT OF REDEMPTION IN OTHER STATES IF A TENANT COMES UP WITH THE MONEY DEMANDED IN THEIR NOTICE THEY CAN PAY IT AT ANY POINT UNTIL THERE'S A JUDGMENT AGAINST THEM .

YOU CAN ALSO THINK OF IT AS THE RIGHT TO PAY YOUR RENT. >> BUT IN CALIFORNIA THE STATE LEGISLATURE, WHOEVER THE STATE CIVIL CODE SAYS THAT IF YOU DON'T PAY IN THREE DAYS IT'S AN UNLAWFUL DETAINER AND

YOU DON'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PAY. >> SO THAT THAT'S ALSO A FANTASTIC PLACE FOR REFORM BECAUSE THESE CASES WOULDN'T WE WOULDN'T BE AT THIS POINT IF TENANTS WERE JUST ALLOWED TO PAY THEIR RENT AND

THEIR NOTICES AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM OF TROJAN HORSE IN OTHER ARREARS. AND AGAIN BECAUSE THOSE OTHER ARREARS ARE NOT ACTUALLY PART OF THESE CASES IT'S HARDER FOR US TO LITIGATE ON THOSE

ALLEGATIONS BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE BASIS OF THE CASE REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS WHAT'S IN THE NOTICE SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD ALSO SAVE THE CITY MONEY IN PROVIDING LEGAL RIGHT TO COUNSEL. ABSOLUTELY.

AND OUR RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS FANTASTIC AND IT KEEPS TENANTS HOUSED AND IT SHOULD BE USED, YOU KNOW, ACCURATELY AND AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MR. THANK YOU.

NEXT UP WE'D LIKE TO INVITE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THOMAS PAINE SQUARE, THE RESIDENCE FOR THE FIRST COMPLEX. WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THOMAS PAINE SQUARE APARTMENTS. THESE APARTMENTS HAVE BEEN MANAGED BY

DOMAS SINCE 2024. THEY'RE OWNED BY ALLEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION WHICH IS RUN ACTUALLY I THINK IS DIRECTOR TO BEGIN HIS TENURE HERE. YES. OKAY. WE'LL START OFF WITH THE DIRECTOR. >> GOOD

MORNING, SUPERVISORS. THANK YOU, CHAIR MAHMOOD FOR CALLING THIS IMPORTANT HEARING . MY NAME IS WILL LISA BENU, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE AGENCY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS OR THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. I WANT

TO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT OUR CIVIL RIGHTS WORK. ALL RESIDENTS OF COURSE DESERVE TO HAVE HOUSING THAT IS SECURE, SAFE, PREDICTABLE AND THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THEIR CONCERNS HEARD

AND ADDRESSED WHEN THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL. THE HRC WORKS TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM DISCRIMINATION IN HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT AND PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONS. OUR CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION RECEIVES HUNDREDS OF

COMPLAINTS EACH YEAR AND THESE COMPLAINTS ARE ACTUALLY UP BY 84% FROM JUST THREE YEARS AGO, TOPPING OUT ABOUT A THOUSAND COMPLAINTS THIS YEAR. THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR I BELIEVE THIS INCREASE IS DUE TO

THE CLIMATE THERE. WE'RE LIVING IN BUT ALSO OUR RECENT OUTREACH OUR WORK SITS WITHIN A BROADER CIVIL RIGHTS FRAMEWORK. IF YOU THINK ABOUT TITLE 789 OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT A PRIVATE PROHIBITS

DISCRIMINATION IN HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT BASED ON RACE, SEX, COLOR, RELIGION OR NATIONAL ORIGIN. WE ENFORCE THE APPLICABLE SAN FRANCISCO ANTI DISCRIMINATION LAWS AS OUR AUTHORITY IS OUTLINED IN THE

CHARTER AMENDMENT ADAM ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AND THE POLICE CODE THE LAWS MOST RELEVANT TO TODAY'S DISCUSSION THOUGH OUR FAIR HOUSING LAWS FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION BASED ON

RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION, SEX, DISABILITY AND OTHER PROTECTED CLASSES. AND UNFORTUNATELY IF YOU LOOK AT THE REPORTING ON THE ISSUES THAT KING GARVEY AND MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT WE

HAVE RECEIVED, WE OUR CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION HAS RECEIVED COMPLAINTS FROM PRIMARILY SENIOR BLACK AND WOMEN AT PRESENT WE DO NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE AT THE KING GARVEY SITE BECAUSE DOMAS IS NOT A

CITY CONTRACTOR AS HE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED SIMILAR TO OTHER CITY AGENCIES, RESIDENTS CAN AND STILL DO BRING THEIR CONCERNS TO HRC FOR FOR REDRESS AND INFORMATION THE LIMITS ON OUR AUTHORITY THOUGH DO NOT

DIMINISH THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ISSUES THAT KING GARVEY THE IMPACT ON THE RESIDENTS LIVES, THEIR FAMILIES AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY. SO NOW I'D LIKE TO PASS IT OFF TO OUR SUPERVISING MANAGER OF OUR

CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION, ANA MARAGA OR SHEILA WHO WILL PROVIDE YOU A FEW OF THE SPECIFICS ON SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS WE'VE RECEIVED. >> GOOD MORNING SUPERVISORS AND GOOD MORNING COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THANK

YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INVITATION AND AS DR. RUBINO MENTIONED WE DO NOT HAVE JURISDICTION. HOWEVER, WITH THE COMPLAINTS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO MEDIATE AND TO FIND A RESOLUTION

OFTENTIMES BECAUSE WE ARE PREEMPTED BY THE STATE FROM BEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FULL FORMAL COMPLAINTS ON DISCRIMINATION CASES IN THE AREA OF HOUSING WE STILL HAVE POWER TO MEDIATE THESE

COMPLAINTS. >> THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DO. UNFORTUNATELY, AS WAS MENTIONED BY THE EVICTION DEFENSE COLLABORATIVE ATTORNEY, WE HAVE SIMILARLY HAD DIFFICULTIES ENGAGING MEANINGFULLY WITH THE

ATTORNEY FOR DOMAS. WE SENT A LETTER OF CONCERN TO DOMAS TO BE ABLE TO FIND A RESOLUTION TO THESE COMPLAINTS. >> UNFORTUNATELY WE RECEIVED AN ANSWER LETTING US KNOW OF GENERAL CHANGES TO THE

PROPERTIES WE ALSO DID SHE SHE LET US KNOW OF FUTURE CHANGES. HOWEVER NOTHING SPECIFIC TO THE ALLEGATIONS THAT WE PUT FORWARD BY THE RESIDENTS. >> THERE WAS A DISABILITY ACCOMMODATION COMPLAINT THAT

WAS SEPARATE FROM THE DISPARATE TREATMENT RAISED DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINTS AND WE WERE ABLE TO ENGAGE IN A AN ONGOING INTERACTIVE PROCESS FOR THAT COMPLAINT. SO CURRENTLY THAT'S WHAT DOES THOSE ARE

THE CASES THAT WE HAVE OPEN HAD AND LOOK, MARCUS GARVEY IN THE PAST IN 2024 WE SUCCESSFULLY ENGAGED IN MEDIATION FOR A CASE THERE AND ALSO BACK IN 2020 TO 2023 WE WERE ABLE TO RESOLVE A HABITABILITY

CONCERN FOR ONE OF THE RESIDENTS THERE. UNFORTUNATELY AS I EXPLAINED, CURRENTLY WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ENGAGE WITH DOMAS ON THE ISSUES PRESENTED. THANK YOU. A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS IN

YOUR EXPERIENCE OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT YOU HEAR ON A REGULAR BASIS, IS IT TYPICAL TO NOT HEAR BACK FROM THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT WHEN YOU ARE DOING THESE INVESTIGATIONS? >> WE GENERALLY HEAR BACK IT'S

NOT TYPICAL TO NOT HEAR BACK IN THIS CASE WE HAVE HEARD BACK BUT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ENGAGE SO THAT WE CAN RESOLVE THE ALLEGATIONS AT HAND. >> THE THE ANSWER HAS NOT BEEN TO ACTUALLY HAVE A

CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON ABOUT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE POWER THAT WE HAVE TO MEDIATE AND TO FACILITATE A RESOLUTION. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT HERE. SO THAT SEEMS ATYPICAL.

THEY'RE NOT IT'S ALL PRETTY TYPICAL. SO THEY'RE NOT ENGAGING TO ACTUALLY HELP AND MOST OF OTHER PROPERTIES DO CORRECT. >> OKAY. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY OUR NEXT STEPS BEYOND THIS LETTER BEYOND THESE

LETTERS TODAY BEYOND THE LETTER OF CONCERN? >> YEAH. WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS THEY WOULD SAY FROM FROM THE DEPARTMENT'S PERSPECTIVE SO BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE JURISDICTION WE CANNOT HAVE A FORMAL

COMPLAINT AGAINST DOMAS THAT IS A CHALLENGE HERE SO WE CAN ONLY MEDIATE IT AND THEY HAVE TO BE WILLING TO TO COME TO THE TABLE AND ENGAGE IN THAT PROCESS WITH US IF WE ARE ABLE TO COMPEL THEM TO COME

TO A FUTURE HEARING. HOW WOULD THAT ASSIST WITH YOUR PROCEEDINGS IN THAT CONTEXT? >> WE WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO ENGAGE IN A CONVERSATION SO THAT WE CAN RESOLVE THE SPECIFIC ALLEGATIONS FROM THE

RESIDENTS. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE DEPARTMENT? >> OKAY. THANK YOU. NEXT WE WILL INVITE THOMAS PAINE SQUARE APARTMENTS AND THE RESIDENTS SPOKESPERSONS. THESE APARTMENTS HAVE

BEEN MANAGED BY DUMMIES SINCE 2024. THEY ARE OWNED BY ALLEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION WHICH IS RUN BY BETHEL AME CHURCH, A HISTORICALLY BLACK CHURCH JUST ACROSS THE INTERSECTION FROM THE

APARTMENTS LED BY REVEREND CECIL WILLIAMS JR THE SAN FRANCISCO STANDARD REPORTED EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT BOBBY SISK WHO LEADS ALLEN CDC ALSO CONTRACTED WITH THE COMPANY HE ALSO CONTROLLED TO PROVIDE

SECURITY SERVICES AT THOMAS PAINE RESIDENTS ALLEGE THAT SISK IGNORED THE CONCERNS OF THE RESIDENTS ABOUT THEIR SAFETY AND WELL-BEING RESIDENTS I HAVE MET WITH GOINS AND BETHEL BETHEL AMY PASTOR

REVEREND CECIL WILLIAMS ON TWO OCCASIONS TO DISCUSS THESE ISSUES. MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WE'RE HEARING STILL PERSIST AND DOMAS IS STILL THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY OVER THOMAS PAINE SQUARE AS WELL AS

PRINCE HALL AND POTENTIALLY LAUREL GARDENS AS WELL ALL OF WHICH ARE OWNED BY ALLEN CDC THROUGH THEIR ATTORNEY VERNON GOINS AND GOINS LAW FIRM THE ALLEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION HAS DECLINED

OUR INVITATION TO JOIN THIS HEARING THEMSELVES. HOWEVER, MY OFFICE UNDERSTANDS THAT SOMEONE FROM GOINS LAW FIRM IS PRESENT IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF BETHEL AMY OR ALLEN CDC HERE THEY ARE NOT SO NOT

SURPRISING UNFORTUNATELY WE IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP SO WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON THE GO HERE IS THERE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE COMMUNITY OR THE BOARD OF THOMAS PAINE TO COME UP AND SPEAK? >> OH YEAH. >>

WELL TOM IS GOING TO STAND UP UNTIL GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR US HAVING THIS TIME TO BE HERE AND MAKE OUR NOTES AND OUR NEEDS MET. I LIKE TO PREFACE THIS AND SAY THAT WE RENAME DOUGLAS WE CALL IT

DUMB US DUMB FOR PUTTING UP WITH WHAT WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH AND STILL WANT TO LIVE IN THESE CONDITIONS BUT WE ARE SICK AND TIRED. WE APPRECIATE YOU SUPERVISING YOU AND YOUR STAFF AND ON US SPACE WE

PRAY THAT THE OUTCOME WILL IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY. THOMAS PAINE HAS A RICH HISTORY IN THE FILLMORE AND WE SEEK TO CONTINUE THAT LEGACY. BLACK RESIDENTS ARE BEING TARGETED BECAUSE OF THESE GREEDY OWNERS

BRING IN MANAGEMENT COMPANIES TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK. GOMEZ HAS BEEN TRULY SERIOUS ABOUT HIS STORY DESTROYING OUR NEEDS AND THIS COMMUNITY SINCE THIS COMPANY HAS OVERSEEN THOMAS PAYNE THERE HAS BEEN

TOTAL CHAOS IN THE OFFICE MANAGEMENT. ITS MANAGERS HAVE COME AND GO LIKE A PANDEMIC. SOME MANAGERS AND WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT MANAGERS WHO COME TO THE TABLE TO HELP THOMAS PAINE THEY

REALLY EXPEDIENTLY GET RID OF HIM. THEY COME IN WITH THEIR OWN AGENDA WHICH IS THERE TO CLEAN HOUSE, GIVE EVERYBODY WHAT DO THEY CALL IT, GIVE US VIOLATIONS FOR FRIVOLOUS THINGS. >> WE'RE THREATENED

WITH EVICTIONS. OFFICE HOURS ARE NOT RESIDENT FRIENDLY WHO HAS AN OFFICE HOURS BETWEEN 10 AND 3 IF YOU WORK THEY TAKE ONE DAY A WEEK. THEY TAKE ONE DAY A WEEK FOR TRAINING. >> WHAT THEY'RE TRAINED

JUST JUST FOR A MOMENT THIS IS THE CLERK JUST THREW THE CHAIR FOR A MOMENT TO THE FOLKS IN PUBLIC GALLERY. IT IS VERY CHALLENGING TO HEAR THE SPEAKER FROM THIS SIDE OF THE ROOM SO PLEASE HOLD YOUR

APPLAUSE EVERYONE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THEIR PUBLIC COMMENT. PUBLIC COMMENT IS CALLED BUT WE WANT TO HEAR FROM THE SPEAKER WHILE SHE IS AT THE LECTERN. >> THANK YOU. WE'LL TAKE WE WILL

TAKE A FINGER SNAP WE'LL TAKE A FINGER SNAP. BUT ANYWAY, THE PHONES THAT WE WHEN WE CALL THE OFFICE NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONES. THE REPORT REPAIRS ARE NOT FOLLOWED UP IN A TIMELY MANNER OR A

PROFESSIONAL MANNER. WE CERTIFICATION HAS BECOME RETALIATORY. THE PAPERWORK HAS BEEN MISPLACED ROUTINELY FILES ARE BEING ASKED AND GIVEN TO THE OFFICE AND WHEN IT COMES TO ASKING FOR THOSE FILES WE

DON'T HAVE THEM. >> WE REQUEST DELAY IT ALLEGES FALL ON DEAF EARS. THIS NEW MANAGEMENT WAS TELLING RESIDENTS WITHIN THE LAST MONTH OR SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE YOU A LETTER. HOW CAN YOU GET HELP AND

ASSISTANCE IF YOU CAN'T GET A LETTER TO SHOW WHAT'S GOING ON? SECURITY? WELL SECURITY WE NEED SECURITY. WE NEED REAL SECURITY. >> THE SECURITY COMPANY THAT WE HAVE THAT WAS THE WBC. IT'S A JOKE THEY

DON'T POLICE. >> THE PROBLEM IS THE PREMISES. THEY DON'T ENGAGE IN ANYTHING THAT'S GOING ON. THEY SIT THERE WITHIN 30FT OF THE GATE AND THERE'S LOITERING, THERE'S NUISANCE, THERE'S PEOPLE COMING ON TO

THE PROPERTY. THEY DON'T LIVE THERE AND IT'S GETTING OUT OF HAND. RESIDENTS ARE FEARFUL OF COMING AND GOING ON THE GROUNDS AS THEY SEEM TO BE SUBJECTED SUBJECTED TO WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? ARE YOU A

PART OF THE GROUP? THEY HANG ON THE STAIRWAYS AND PEOPLE CAN'T GET UP AND DOWN ON THE STAIRWAYS, ESPECIALLY ON CHURCH STREET LIKE IT'S A LIKE IT'S A CLUBHOUSE AND THE ISSUES WE CERTIFICATION HAS NOW

BECOME REALLY MENTALLY UNSTABLE FOR OUR RESIDENTS. SOME RESIDENTS HAVE TO GO THROUGH 3 TO 18 MONTHS TO GET RE CERTIFIED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT OH WE NEED MORE INFORMATION, WE NEED MORE INFORMATION. SO

WHERE THIS INFORMATION GOES TO AND ALL OF THAT, IT'S REALLY GETTING OUT OF HAND. DURING THE PANDEMIC WE FORMED A TENNIS ALLIANCE AND WE WANTED TO BUILD A BETTER COMMUNITY FOR THOMAS PAINE. >> WE

STARTED A PETITION TO KEEP THE PERSON WHO WAS IN THE OFFICE THERE WHEN WE WENT TO THE CHURCH AND SAID WE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS THEY SAY WHY ARE YOU GETTING READY? HER? AND THEY SAY OH WE DON'T GET

INVOLVED IN MANAGEMENT DECISIONS BUT THEY SEEK TO HIRE COMPANIES THAT COME IN AND DO THEIR DIRTY WORK AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SICK. >> WE'RE TOLD IT THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR THEY DON'T RESPOND TO STUFF.

YOU CALL THE OFFICE AND YOU SAY I HAVE SOME OF YOUR PAPERS. YOU CALL THEM THE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING THEY DON'T OPEN TILL TEN. WHO'S THINKING WHY ARE YOU AT WORK OR LET ME LET ME CALL THEM BEFORE

THEY CLOSE. IF YOU HAVE A MEETING IT'S NOT DONE WITHIN THE RESIDENT'S TIME FRAME. THE NOTICES THAT GO ON THE DOOR 24 HOURS IS A JOKE. THEY PUT THE NOTICES ON ON A PR YOU NOTICE WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT

AFTER HOURS AND SAY OH YOU DIDN'T RESPOND. THEY'LL SAY THAT WE WERE COMING IN ON ONE DAY THEY'LL COME IN THE DAY BEFORE AND YOU DON'T KNOW THEY'RE THERE. THEY DON'T HAVE THEY DON'T GIVE US THE THEY

USED TO GIVE US THINGS SAID WE'VE BEEN IN HERE, WE'VE WORKED ON YOUR PROPERTY. WE WORKED ON SOMETHING. >> THEY LEAVE NO NOTICE OF BEING THERE. THEY COME IN LIKE THEY OWN THE PLACE AND CAN COME AND GO

AS THEY WILL THE CORPORATE OFFICE FOR DUMMIES THEY'RE NASTY TO BOTH THE EMPLOYEES AND THE RESIDENTS. >> THEY INSTRUCT PERSONNEL TO GO HARD, BE RUTHLESS WITH THEIR AGENDAS WITH LITTLE OR NO REGARD FOR

ETHICAL OR HUMAN CONCERNS WHEN IT COMES TO MEETING THEIR AGENDA THEY FABRICATE AROUND THE PAPERWORK AND WE'VE REACHED A BOILING POINT A BOILING POINT. >> WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT WHEN IT COMES TO

RECERTIFICATION YOU MUST HAVE SIX MONTHS OF BANK STATEMENTS, SIX MONTHS OF THIS, SIX MONTHS OF THAT AND WE FOUND OUT THAT WHAT IS IT TWO MONTHS ? SO LIKE I SAID, THEY COME IN WITH THEIR OWN AGENDA.

THEY THINK THAT WE ARE SO DUMB THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING AND THEY HAVE PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT EVEN BE IN CREDENTIAL OR CERTIFIED TO BE THERE. THESE

PEOPLE ARE HANDLING OUR OFFICE SENSITIVE SMILES LOOKING THROUGH OUR PRIVATE RECORDS WITH ALL OF OUR PRIVATE SOCIAL SECURITY AND ALL OF THAT AND WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY ARE. SO RESIDENTS HAVE COME

TO ME AND SAY WELL IF WE GOT TO SHOW IF THEY GOT TO THEY WANT THEM TO BE CREDENTIALED TO WE HAD MANAGERS IN THE OFFICE THAT HAVE CRIMINAL RECORDS RECENTLY SO WITH ALL OF THAT THAT'S LIKE A LOT TO HAVE

TO BE GOING THROUGH AND THEIR EXPLANATIONS ARE SO FRIVOLOUS THAT YOU LOOK AT THEM AND SAY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WORRY ME. >> THANK YOU, DEBORAH. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, DEBORAH. >> THANK YOU AGAIN FOR

SHARING YOUR STORY AND LEADING THE RESIDENTS TO PRESENT TODAY WE HEARD FROM MISS THORNTON ABOUT THE PARTICULAR NATURE OF THE TYPE OF EVICTION PROCEEDINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AND I UNDERSTAND THAT

UNFORTUNATELY YOU RECEIVED AN EVICTION NOTICE AS WELL. >> CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH WHAT THAT PROCESS WAS LIKE? >> DEVASTATING. I MEAN BECAUSE I'M A PERSON THAT I ALWAYS PAY MY RENT WHEN I WENT TO THE

OFFICE ONE MONTH, GAVE THEM MY MONEY ORDER OH, LET ME CALL CORPORATE. I'M SICK OF THIS SITUATION. AND I SAID I AM TO LET ME CALL CORPORATE. SO THEY WERE GIVING ME THEY WERE NOT ACCEPTING MY RENT. >>

THEY USED TO ACCEPT MONEY ORDERS. >> THEY ALWAYS ACCEPT MONEY. WHAT IS PAID FOR THESE FOR THIS AGENDA THAT THEY WERE KEEPING THEY STOPPED ACCEPTING MY RENT. SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS I HAD OVER THREE $400

OF CREDIT. I WAS NOT ABOUT TO GET A MONEY ORDER FOR A DOLLAR SO I ASKED THEM TO TAKE THE CREDIT OF A DOLLAR AND WIRE TO MY RENT. THIS WENT ON FOR FOUR MONTHS. THEY DIDN'T TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. THEY PUT

THE MONEY ORDER BACK IN MY DOOR WITH NO NOTICE SO NOT JUST DROPPED IT BACK IN THE DOOR. I HAD TO GO AND GET WHICH CORPORATION WAS THAT A LAWYERS UP ON VENICE TO REPRESENT ME. >> OPENDOOR LEGAL. IT'S

NOT A JUST STORE EVICTION THE DIXON DEFENSE FILE. >> YEAH DEFENSE I MEAN I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH ALL OF THIS BETWEEN THE RESIDENTS AND ALL OF THAT OTHER STUFF BUT YEAH, I HAD TO GO TO THE ADDICTION THE

DEFENSE FINE CALAMITY DFC, DDC OKAY. >> I HAD TO GO TO THE GOOD PEOPLE TO GET HELP SO SO I WENT THERE AND EVEN THE LAWYER THEY REPRESENTED ME. SHE SAID LOOK, THIS SHOWS YOU RIGHT HERE THAT YOU HAD

FOUR MONTHS OF PAYMENT AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE IT. SO THIS WENT ON FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. THEY FINALLY WE FINALLY CAME TO AGREEMENT OF WHAT TO PAY WAS PAY AND LIKE I SAID, I PAID WITH MONEY WHAT IS

BECAUSE I CAN'T TRUST THEM? I HAD RESIDENTS TELLING ME THAT SINCE THEY MOVED IN THEIR CREDIT SCORE HAS DECREASED FROM FROM THEIR MONEY CREDIT CHECKS . >> I'M SORRY. AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN THIS

APARTMENT? 16 YEARS. AND YOU HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH RENT BEFORE? >> NO, NO, I PAY MY RENT ON TIME. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. I AM TOO. BUT MOVING FORWARD YOU MENTIONED CRIME AND THE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE

OCCURRED IN SPECIFIC. THERE WERE TWO HIGH PROFILE CRIMES JUST A FEW WEEKS AWAY AT THE END OF THIS LAST YEAR AND THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR . >> YEAH. YOU MENTIONED ALSO REPORTS OF HARASSMENT FROM

MAINTENANCE STAFF. >> HAS THERE BEEN ANY CHANGE TO SECURITY? WELL, IF SECURITY WAS PRESENT AND ACCOUNTABLE MAYBE THERE WOULD BE A CHANGED. BUT I THINK AS OF A FEW MONTHS AGO ONE OF THE RESIDENTS WHO

LIVE ON TOP OF SECURITY SAID HE HASN'T SEEN THEM IN TWO MONTHS. >> THE GATE BUILT IN TWO MONTHS. >> THAT'S WHAT THE RESIDENTS SAY. ANYBODY ELSE SEEN SECURITY AROUND HERE? THEY KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND

TOOK VIDEOS, YOU KNOW, FOR THE SECURITY OPEN. NOTHING WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY PATROL WE'VE ASKED WHEN WE MET WITH YOU THE LAST TIME WE ASKED FOR A JOB DESCRIPTION SO WE KNOW WHAT SECURITY SHOULD BE

DONE. NONE OF THAT WE STILL GET PEOPLE THAT DON'T LIVE THERE COMING ON TO THE PROPERTY I CAME HOME ONE AT 1:00 ONE MORNING GETTING GOING IN THE GATE WIDE OPEN, 4 OR 5 CARS BLOCKING THE DRIVE JUST THE

PARKING SPOTS. >> SO WHEN I PULL UP THEY PULL IN AND LET ME IN ANOTHER PARKING SPOT. I LOOK BACK OUT THE WINDOW THEY'VE SWITCHED CARS AND WE BLOCK THAT. WE ARE ALL THREE CARS ARE BLOCKED AND SO IT'S

GETTING REALLY DANGEROUS TO BE MOVING AROUND IN A GATED PROPERTY. YOU MENTIONED ACTUALLY LAST QUESTION YOU MENTIONED THAT WE HAD A MEETING. YES. >> IN JUNE BETWEEN YOU AND ONE OF THE OTHER TENANTS AND

THE OWNER. YEAH. NO, NO FROM AND LEADERSHIP FROM BETHLEHEM. THEY PROMISED SOME CHANGES. >> CAN YOU SAY WEATHER CONDITIONS HAVE GOTTEN BETTER SINCE THAT MEETING? >> NOTHING HAS GOTTEN BETTER. I MEAN IF

IF ANYTHING HAS GOTTEN WORSE, IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. >> OKAY. SORRY. I MEAN PEOPLE ARE STILL COMPLAINING THAT STUFF IS MISSING OUT OF THEIR CARS STUFF AND THIS NOT IN THE GARAGE OUT OF THEIR HOUSES AND

YOU KNOW, BEING A PART OF THIS TENNIS ALLIANCE I GET TO HEAR A LOT OF IT. I GET TO HEAR A LOT OF IT AND IT'S REALLY IT'S JUST DISHEARTENING TO HAVE TO LIVE UNDER THESE TYPE OF CONDITIONS. >> YEAH.

THANK YOU. >> AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, JUST TO NOTE AS HAS BEEN REPORTED AND MULTIPLE OUTLETS FROM THE STANDARD TO MISSION LOCAL THE SPECIFIC INCIDENTS THAT WERE DISCUSSED ARE OF CRIME WERE STAFF

BROKE IN AND STOLE GIFTS DURING CHRISTMAS? >> ONE RESIDENT WAS REPEATEDLY HARASSED UNTIL SHE WAS BRUTALLY ASSAULTED. YES, SECURITY HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY ASSISTANCE TO OUR CONTEXT AND THOSE ARE THE

TYPES OF INCIDENTS THAT WE HAVE OBSERVED AND HAVE HAVE BEEN RECORDED. SO THANK YOU AGAIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DEBORAH. THANK YOU. >> THE NEXT WILL HAVE DISCUSSED MARTIN LUTHER KING MARCUS GARVEY CO

OP THIS IS A CO OP ASIDE MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR DEBORAH THIS IS A COP THAT TAKES UP TO TWO CITY BLOCKS IN THE WESTERN EDITION AND HAS BEEN AT THE BRINK OF DEFAULTING ON ITS LOANS IN THE

PAST BUT HAS SINCE STABILIZED AND FINANCIALLY UNDERWENT A MAJOR RENOVATION IN 2012 DOMAS HAS MANAGED THE PROPERTY THOUGH SINCE 2020 FOUR. >> SHORTLY THEREAFTER, ACCORDING TO THEIR ATTORNEY MERCEDES

GARVIN, THE PROPERTY UNDERWENT A REFINANCING PROCESS THAT REQUIRED RECERTIFICATION OF RESIDENTS AND RECOUPING OF BACK RENT. >> IT WAS THIS PROCESS THAT LED TO EVICTION WARNINGS AND EVENTUALLY EIGHT

UNLAWFUL DETAINER IS THAT WERE FILED BY THE CO-OP RESIDENTS ARE STILL WORKING WITH OPENDOOR LEGAL TO RESOLVE SOME OF THESE CASES. MEANWHILE THERE HAVE BEEN LONGSTANDING REQUESTS FOR RELOCATION AND

HABITABILITY ISSUES THAT HAVE GONE UNADDRESSED. THERE HAVE BEEN 80 AND 80 DB II COMPLAINTS FILED ON THE COMPLEX SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2024, SOME OF WHICH REMAIN UNABATED. >> ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS

READS CUSTOMER REPORTED THE ROOF AND HER UNIT HAS CAVED IN AND THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY IS NON-RESPONSIVE. THIS WAS FILED IN MAY AND AS OF THE MOST RECENT INSPECTION MID AUGUST THERE ARE STILL

SOME ITEMS THAT REMAIN UNABATED. >> FORTUNATELY WE DO NOT EXPECT TO HEAR FROM THE BOARD AT THIS MEETING BUT IF LINDA YOAKUM, MERCEDES GARVIN OR ANYONE WHO CAN REPRESENT THE BOARD OF MARKETING GARVEY

IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, NOW WOULD BE THE TIME NO CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS CAN USE ANOTHER EMPTY CHAIR. SO INSTEAD WE'RE GOING TO CALL UP THE FEATURED RESIDENTS FROM MA'AM OKAY MARCUS GARVEY R D

PAINE, MARTIN LUTHER KING ALL OF THESE BUILDINGS WERE UNDER MY SUPERVISION FOR THE PRESERVATION OF HOUSING. >> THE HONORABLE WILLIE BROWN HAD THE VISION AND THE FORESIGHT TO SEE THAT SAN FRANCISCO WAS

FACING A GREATER LOOMING HOUSING CRISIS OTHER THAN THE HOMELESS PROBLEM THAT MOST OF THESE WERE UP FOR GRABS THESE BUILDINGS THAT HAD THESE SWEETHEART DEALS IN THE 60S AND 70S WITH THE HUD

ORGANIZATION THAT THE US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WE'RE NOW GOING TO BE FACING AN OPPORTUNITY TO KICK EVERYBODY OUT BECAUSE THEY HAD CONTRACTS WERE UP FOR EXPIRATION. >> SO WE'RE ON

THE CHOPPING BLOCK BECAUSE WE LIVE IN THIS UNIQUE BEAUTIFUL CITY. >> THEY SAY THE 94115 ZIP CODE IS THE MOST DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD SO WE'RE INUNDATED WITH MILLIONAIRES AND

BILLIONAIRES AND PEOPLE WHO WANT A PIECE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL SAN FRANCISCO PIE AND WE'RE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK BECAUSE MOST OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS WHO ALSO LIVE IN OC ONE OF WHOM WILL ALSO LIVE IN MOST

OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE PRIME REAL ESTATE WITH STRATEGIC LOCATIONS AND SO WE'VE SEEN AGGRESSIVE POACHING AND WE'VE SEEN AGGRESSIVE SOLICITATION OF OUR PROPERTY. >> IN THE CASE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING,

MARCUS GARVEY, WE ARE A CO-OP WHICH MEANS WE OWN IT. SO WHEN WE SAY WE'RE FACING EVICTION, HOW DO YOU EXIST SOMEBODY OUT OF THEIR OWN REAL PROPERTY. >> SO I WANT TO SPEAK TO A VIOLATION OF EQUAL

PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW. >> I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE FACT THAT 16 AFRICAN AMERICAN OWNERS WERE PLACED ON EVICTION LISTS WITHOUT BEING PROPERLY SERVED. >> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE

EQUITY AND THEY CAN'T ACCOUNT FOR HOW MUCH THEY OWE US ANY TIME YOU WANT PROBABLY THIS SHOULD BE LISTED AT THE CITY ASSESSOR'S OFFICE ANY TIME YOU WANT REAL PROPERTY YOU GET TO WRITE OFF YOUR INTEREST

ON YOUR TAXES. >> I HAVE NOT SEEN MY TAX INTEREST DIVIDEND REPORT FROM THOMAS IN FOUR YEARS. >> I HAVE NOT SEEN MY EQUITY AT THE 30 PLUS YEARS. >> I HATE TO SAY BUT I'M A GRANDMA. I'VE RAISED THREE

GENERATIONS AS THEY HAVE FIVE KIDS AND THREE GRANDKIDS. >> I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'M LEAVING TO MY MY PROGENY THAT IS GONE ACCEPTABLE WHAT WE'RE CALLING FOR I'M GOING TO STOP YELLING. >> I'M JUST

CORRESPONDING SURRENDER YOUR KEYS AND VACATE THE PREMISES NO ADJUDICATION THROUGH A COURT JUST I LOOK THAT STUPID I SAID YOU'RE RIGHT. >> YOU'RE GOING TO BE TALKING TO MY ATTORNEYS OPEN DOOR LEGAL

STEPS TO SEE THE FIRST EVICTION DEFENSE. I LOVE THEM. HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AS A CITY AND COUNTY YOU NEED TO INCREASE THEIR FUNDING BECAUSE THIS IS RAMPANT CITYWIDE I GO TO BUILDINGS IN EVERY

NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE'S NO LONGER A HOUSING PRESERVATION PROGRAM THAT I WAS IN OVER 88 BUILDINGS. >> THEY SAID YOU DID A GREAT JOB. DIDI HOUSING SECURE AND I SAID NO. >> AFTER FIVE YEARS IN THIS

ELEVATED MARKET REAL ESTATE GOES UP. THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN DOING A AND GRAB. WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THE EXISTING RESIDENTS AND WE HAVE TO SECURE WE HAVE TO SECURE

THE EXISTING HOUSING STOCK. >> I WAS OVER 80 EIGHT BUILDINGS. OKAY? >> AND WHAT I SAW WAS HABITABILITY VIOLATIONS. I SAW EGREGIOUS VIOLATIONS OF THE RENTERS RIGHTS. >> THAT'S WHAT THEY DO WITH DOMAS

DID AS THE TESTIMONY OF THE LAST PERSON IS THERE INDICATED THIS IS INDICATIVE OF THEIR PRACTICES THEY LOSE YOUR MONEY ORDERS YEAH RIGHT AFTER I ORGANIZE THE RESIDENCE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING FOR MY

MONEY YOU JUST CAME UP A GOOD THING I KEEP A CREDIT CARD AND I SAID ALL YOU WANT TO TALK TO SOME ATTORNEYS THERE? >> THAT'S OKAY. I'M SURE YOU CAN MAKE ME RICH. HERE'S THE ISSUE IT'S AGGRESSIVE

RETALIATION AND REPRISAL. SO TAKE NOTE HAND THE CAMERAS AROUND WHO'S HERE BECAUSE THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THE NEXT PEOPLE ON THE EVICTION LIST. >> THOSE WHO STAND UP AND SPEAK UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS ARE

CONSTANTLY HARASSED. >> I CALLED THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION TO THE TABLE GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE. >> HE WAS RESPONSIVE ON THE SCENE. HE'S A DEPARTMENT HEAD, THE SHAREHOLDER SAID. >> WE'VE NEVER SEEN SO

MANY PEOPLE COME OUT LIKE THIS AND THEY'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS ABUSE. >> THAT'S WHY CHANNEL SEVEN PICKED IT UP FOUR YEARS AGO. >> I COMPLAINT FOR THE RESIDENTS THEY PUT ME ON THE EVICTION LIST. I

SAID HOW MANY AN EVICTION LIST AND I HAVE A CREDIT AND YOU OWE ME MONEY. PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME. WHAT'S THE CALCULATION BY THE WAY, THE OVERSIGHT THAT YOU GUYS NEED TO DO THERE'S SOME JURISDICTIONAL

ISSUES AS ATTORNEY SUSIE BROUGHT UP. THERE ARE JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES BUT WE JUST SIGNED WE HAD A 54 MILLION DOLLAR RENOVATION IN 2010 FROM THE AGENCY THAT I WORKED FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO REDEVELOPMENT

AGENCY IN TANDEM WITH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF HOUSING THAT I USED TO MEET WITH ALL THE TIME. >> THEY DECIDED WE'RE GOING TO HELP YOU GUYS REBUILD TO TAINT YOUR PROPERTY. >> OKAY? >> AND AFTER THAT $54

MILLION REHABILITATION DURING THE PROCESS I SAID HEY, THESE ARE ALL BUILDINGS. >> ONE BLOCK IS BUILT IN THE LATE 60S. ONE BLOCK WAS BUILT IN 1970 WHEN I WAS BORN. THAT'S 56 YEARS AGO. >> OKAY. YOU

HAVE OLD PLUMBING YOU NEED TO UPGRADE, YOU HAVE ELECTRICAL. YOU NEED TO UPDATE BACK THEN THEY USED EXPRESS THOSE BECAUSE IT WAS A FIRE RETARDANT TO SAVE THE BUILDING IN A FIRE FOR FOUR HOURS I GOT

CERTIFIED IN ASBESTOS ABATEMENT TO DURING THE REHAB AND GUESS WHAT THEY DIDN'T ABATE AND THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AND A GAG ORDER FOR THE WORKERS TO KEEP QUIET. I DIDN'T ACCEPT THE MONEY SO I'M GOING TO

BLAB AND TELL THE TRUTH AND LET YOU KNOW THAT. >> SO I JUST RECENTLY DID A LITIGATION WITH THEM. THEY SETTLED OUT OF COURT WITH ME AND THEY'RE HARASSING ME. >> THEY FOUND FOUR NOT ONE FOUR DIFFERENT

KINDS OF ASBESTOS IN MY UNIT. >> I HAD A LEAK. THE TUB FILLED UP. >> NOBODY IS USING A TUB UPSTAIRS. I'M IN A FOUR BEDROOM TOWNHOUSE, TWO BATHROOMS, MIKE'S EN SUITE. THE TOILET OVERFLOWED

SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE THE TUB OVERFLOWED IN ANOTHER BATHROOM AND I'M DOWNSTAIRS ON THE APPLE WITH MY COLLEGE AGE SON. >> OKAY, BUT I'M 25 WINK WINK AND WE GET IN A SPACE TO SHOWER GRAY AND MURKY RAIN

BATHS OUT IN THE KITCHEN TABLE WHILE WE'RE ON WITH HIS SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY COUNSELOR AND WE'RE LIKE, WHAT IS THIS? >> OH MY GOD, I CALL FOR MAINTENANCE. THEY DON'T COME LATER ON I GO

UPSTAIRS. >> I'M LIKE WHAT'S THE SOURCE OF THE WATER? IT'S 3.5IN OF WATER WITH NOBODY UPSTAIRS. EVERYBODY'S VACATED THE HOUSE, WENT TO WORK, WENT TO SCHOOL. HE AND I ARE JUST THE ONLY ONES IN THE

HOUSE. WE GET UP, WE GET IN AS BEST AS SHOWER SO THAT WAS THE BASIS FOR MY SETTLEMENT WITH THE OC. BUT BEFORE THAT THERE WAS RAW SEWAGE COMING UP IN MY SINK WHEN I GO TO BRUSH MY TEETH AND THE EN

SUITE THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM. THAT IS NOT A KING GORVY PROBLEM. THAT IS A MAINTENANCE ABATEMENT ISSUE THIS UBIQUITOUS OF ALL THE 88 BUILDINGS THAT I DEALT WITH I AM A FIRSTHAND FORM OF GOVERNMENT

OFFICIAL WITNESS TO THESE PEOPLE'S TESTIMONY. THEY'RE NOT LYING BUT THEY'RE ALWAYS TARGETED. >> OH, YOU'RE A PROBLEM. I WAS LABELED A PROBLEM. >> I'M A BIG A PROBLEM YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET

BECAUSE I'M GOING TO CALL OUT ALL THE MALFEASANCE, ALL THE HABITABILITY VIOLATIONS. I'M GOING TO ORGANIZE THE RESIDENTS LIKE I WAS TRAINED BY THE NATIONAL HOUSING LAW PROJECT ON THE BILL GATES TO DO I

HELPED COAUTHOR THE SAN FRANCISCO HOUSING PRESERVATION ORDINANCE AND I'M GOING TO HOLD YOU TO THESE LAWS. MY PEOPLE ARE NOT SOME SECOND AND THIRD CLASS SUBJECTS. THEY DO NOT DESERVE ANY LESS IN THEIR

RESIDENCY AND THEIR PROPRIETORSHIP IN THIS CITY AND I'M HOLDING ALL OF YOU ACCOUNTABLE EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW THEY ARE IN VIOLATION. DON'T MISS A FEDERAL LAW, STATE LAW AND A SAN FRANCISCO

HOUSING PRESERVATION ORDINANCE. WE HAVE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. >> WE DESERVE TO LIVE. WE DESERVE TO BREATHE AS A RESULT OF HEART MEDICATION AND BREATHING TREATMENTS BECAUSE THEY WAITED THREE AND A HALF

YEARS TO ABATE MY UNIT CURRENTLY THE SAN FRANCISCO BUILDING DEPARTMENT BUILDING INSPECTORS JUST FOUND SOME MORE VIOLATIONS IN THAT VERY UNIT AND IT'S CALLING FOR A HEARING SOON. SO THIS IS A

REPETITIVE, REDUNDANT RETALIATORY REPRISAL AND BLATANT DISRESPECT AND SUBJUGATION THAT IS A VIOLATION OF OUR EQUAL PROTECTIONS UNDER THE LAW. THAT IS A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS. >> THAT IS A

VIOLATION OF OUR CIVIL RIGHTS AND YOU CANNOT LET IT HAPPEN ON YOUR WATCH BECAUSE THAT MAKES YOU EQUALLY CULPABLE. OKAY. NOW I ALSO WANT TO SAY SHOUT OUT THANK YOU TO MALIK WASHINGTON WHO ALSO

INITIALLY COVERED THIS STORY AND IS WILLING TO COVER ALL YOUR STORIES ALL YOUR STORIES. >> LIZ PENA AT ABC NEWS WANTS TO DO A FOLLOW UP. >> ALL OF YOU GUYS I WILL CONNECT YOU WITH THAT AND I HAVE

SOMEONE HERE THAT'S DOING A DOCUMENTARY. >> I'M GETTING INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION BECAUSE I WON'T SHUT MY MOUTH FOR YOU. >> YOU UNDERSTAND I WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING FOR YOU. >> YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE

HEARD. >> YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE TREATED EQUALLY. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO CALL OUT MERCEDES GAVIN WHO BY THE WAY IS THE CORPORATE ATTORNEY. I WAS ON THE BOARD OVER DECADES LIKE 4 OR 5 TIMES IN DIFFERENT

CAPACITIES. I WAS ON SEVERAL BOARDS THAT FIRED HER TO MY BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION I BELIEVE WE FIRED HER NINE TIMES. THE CURRENT BOARD PRESIDENT LINDA YOAKUM HAS CHOSEN TO RECRUIT THIS LADY WHO'S AN

EVICTION ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT US AS A CORPORATION UNDER HER LEADERSHIP AND LEGAL ADVISE ME WHEN DOMAS SAID HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT WE STARTED ORGANIZING WE SAW THE MEDIA IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER WITH HER

AND WE DON'T WANT ANY PARTS OF THIS. >> WE SHE DID MAKE MISTAKES IN THE RECERTIFICATION PROCESS AND IT'S NOT US AND EVERYBODY IS DOING THIS. >> ALL OF THEM ARE CULPABLE. ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE HELD

ACCOUNTABLE. EVERY LAST ONE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE A KNOWLEDGE OF A PROBLEM YOU HAVE A DUTY A MORAL AND LEGAL DUTY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY ARE BREACHING FEDERAL LAW, THEY ARE BREACHING STATE LAW

AND THEY ARE BREACHING CITY ORDINANCES. SO I NEED TO WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH YOU GUYS IN TANDEM, STAY IN CONTACT BECAUSE I AM GOING TO KEEP MY BOOTS ON THE GROUND LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE WHEN THEIR

COMPLAINTS WE HAVE ADA VIOLATIONS. THIS GENTLEMAN HERE IS A PRIVATE EXAMPLE IN THE WHEELCHAIR. HE'S A FORMER BOARD MEMBER ALSO SAMMY BRIGHT MAKES I HAVE A WOMAN WHO'S 96 YEARS OLD WHO CAN'T GET A

REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION WITH A NUMBER OF LAWYER LETTERS FROM HER DOCTORS. SHE COULDN'T BE HERE TODAY. SHE CAN'T MAKE IT DOWN THE MULTIPLE STEPS SHE HAS IN HER HOUSE AND THEY REFUSE TO MOVE HER SISTER

MIRIAM WHAT YOU GET WHO'S A LONG TIME OWNER, SHAREHOLDER RESIDENT OKAY. AND ADVOCATE FOR THE PEOPLE SHE IS SICKLY AND THEY REFUSE TO MOVE HER WITH ALL OF HER REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION DOCUMENTATION.

IT'S DEPLORABLE. THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS BLEMISH ON THEIR RECORD SO I IMPLORE YOU TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING ON MY INSISTENCE THAT YOU CALL A HEARING AND SO

WOW WHO SALON FIRST OF ALL, GOOD MORNING SUPERVISORS AND I WOULD BE REMISS IN MY DUTY TO SPEAK UP FOR HER. >> I WOULD BE REMISS IN MY DUTY TO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THIS HEARING NOT ONLY IS

IMPORTANT BUT THIS IS A T AND TS ON AND ON AND ON AND EVEN SOME CROOKED SHAREHOLDERS OR SHOULD I SAY COWARD SHAREHOLDERS AND SAY WE GOT TO BE REALLY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN KING GARVEY IS JUST

A SIGN WHAT'S GOING TO START HAPPENING EVERYWHERE ELSE WE HEAR STORIES ABOUT THE FILLMORE CENTER AND WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE FILLMORE CENTER. >> WE HEAR STORIES ABOUT ROBERT PITCH WHICH IS ADJACENT TO

US. >> I DON'T WANT US TO THINK THIS IS SMALL. NO, THIS IS MAJOR AND I WAS, YOU KNOW, SUBMITTING HIS REPORT. I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW THE CITY LIKE RECOMMENDATIONS, RIGHT? SO I PUT ON MY PEN HERE BECAUSE

I SAID ON THE REPARATIONS TASK FORCE FOR BLACK FOLKS YEAH, WE STILL NEED REPARATIONS RIGHT? I'M DOING MY PART IN A PART OF THE CITY REPAIRING THE DAMAGES IN A PART OF THE CITY, RESTORE IN THE BLACK

COMMUNITY IS USING OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THIS. ONE OF THE REAL ISSUES WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HOOD THE WAY OUR STRUCTURE IS SET UP, OUR BUSINESS MODEL IF ANY ONE OF THOSE AGENCIES IS NOT AT THE TABLE, WE'RE

DYSFUNCTION. >> SO HUD IS JUST CONVENIENTLY ABSENT WHEN IT COMES TO THE CONCERNS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS AND RESIDENTS AT KING GARVEY AND EVERY OTHER HOUSING DWELLING IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THEN THEY HAVE

THE NERVE WHEN WE CALL IN ACTS TO SIT DOWN AND INTELLIGENTLY GO OVER THE CONCERNS OF RESIDENTS HAVE THE NERVE TO LISTEN TO OUTSIDE EARS LIKE MERCEDES GAVIN THAT REALLY IN TRUTH I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT

TO THE CALIFORNIA BOARD OF SOCIAL CHANGE AT THIS POINT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. >> YES THIS SHOULD BE TO TWO OR ADVANTAGE TO DEAL WITH HOW ARE THESE AGENCIES MAJOR AGENCIES AND I KNOW SAN FRANCISCO AT

THIS POINT HAVE ALL THE REASON WHY TO KNOW THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS TRICKLING DOWN TO THIS GOVERNMENT HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO. >> WHERE IS HUD? >> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. SO ON THAT FLIER THAT WE

SUBMITTED OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, THAT'S WHY WE PUT THE IMAGE OF HUD ON THAT FLIER TO PROMOTE THIS HEARING BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY CLAIM TO BE THE REGULATORY BODY. WE NEED REGULATIONS. WE

DON'T NEED THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS TO BE OVERLOOKED OR JUST PUSHED TO THE SIDE BECAUSE IF YOU MISS YOUR CARRYING CHARGE SLASH RENT SO THE MORTGAGE THE MORTGAGE PAYMENT YOU YOU WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE

PERSONALLY. NOW I WANT TO JUST SAY JUST A FEW MORE THING NOW THIS IS CLEAR WHERE IS OUR EQUITY? >> LISTEN TO THIS SUPERVISORS. >> THIS IS WHAT THOMAS PAYNE SAID. THIS IS A QUOTE FROM THOMAS PAINE A

BODY OF MEN HOLDING THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO NO BODY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED BY ANYBODY. >> YEAH. YEAH. >> AND DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING SAID AS A QUOTE AND JUSTICE AND CORRUPTION WILL NEVER BE

TRANSFORMED BY KEEPING IT HITTING BUT IT WOULD ONLY BE TRANSFORMED BY BRINGING IT INTO THE LIGHT. >> YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR. AND ALL OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH YOU PROBABLY HAVE RECEIVE

AND YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO REVIEW THEM AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE FOLLOW UP COMMUNITY HEARINGS. YES, LIKE WAS WELL SAID BY THE HRC AND I MISS USA AND THE TENOR FROM THOMAS PAINE EXCUSE ME IF I DON'T

SAY YOUR NAME BUT YES, WE CANNOT ALLOW THE JURISDICTION ISSUE OR THE YOU KNOW, THE CLAIM OF WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S DON'T FALL ON MY PURVIEW SO SOMEONE ELSE GOT TO DEAL WITH IT. WE HAVE A CITY THAT'S

ANXIOUS SOMETIMES WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING INVOLVED IN ISSUES THAT THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO JURISDICTION AT ALL. >> SO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO STRENGTHEN HRC TO BE GIVEN MORE AUTHORITY. >> YES, COME

UP WITH SOME LAWS THAT CAN FORCE FOR EXAMPLE LIKE A HOOD OFFICIAL TO SIT ON A COMMITTEE IN THE FUTURE WHEN I'M PROBABLY DEAD AND GONE AND MANY OF US HERE DEAD AND GONE. SO WE'RE NEVER AGAIN HAVE TO

PRESSURE THE CITY TO CALL A HEARING AND FOLLOW THE LAW BECAUSE WE NEED WAYS TO BRING OVERSIGHT ON THESE HOUSING DWELLERS IN A WAY IS ROBUST AND IN REAL TIME. >> WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR THE HORRIFIC

STORIES TO GET PEOPLE NOW ALL CONCERNED. >> SO WE THANK YOU SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD AND AND OF COURSE THIS COMMITTEE BUT AS YOU ALL KNOW THE FOLLOW UP AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES IS WHERE WE GO NEXT

WITH THIS AND OBVIOUSLY IT SPEAKS VOLUMES THAT YOU KNOW DOOM IS MANAGEMENT IS IS NOT HERE MERCEDES GAVIN IS NOT HERE ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW, IF A DOSSIER WAS WRITTEN BY ME I WOULD BE HERE WHO'S WHO ELSE

AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM KING GARVEY. NOW JUST RECENTLY I WAS REMOVED FROM THE BOARD WHICH I TAKE AS AN HONOR AS LONG AS AS MARTINA ROLLING WAS REMOVED FROM THE BOARD THESE ARE SOME OF THE

TACTICS THAT THEY ARE USING TO KEEP US QUIET IF THEY'RE NOT CHALLENGING AND THREATENING YOU WITH EVICTIONS THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU GET A LETTER SAYING THEY WANT TO INSPECT AND THEN I CAN LOOK IN THE

FEDERAL CODE LAWS IT SAYS THAT WAY YOU ONLY, YOU KNOW, REQUIRED TO ALLOW THEM TO COME TO YOUR UNIT ONCE A YEAR UNLESS THERE'S AN EMERGENCY. >> BUT THEY TAKE THE LIBERTY TO BEAT THE DRUMS AND KEEP

EVERYONE IN FEAR HOPING YOU WILL MAKE A MISTAKE AND LEGITIMIZE THEM TO PUSH AN UNLAWFUL DETAINER THEN TERMINATION YES BUT WE CALL THEM SELF-HELP EVICTIONS WHICH YOU KNOW IS ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF

CALIFORNIA. >> IT'S NOT JUST AN UNLAWFUL DETAINER IS A SELF-HELP EVICTION. WE HAVE MANY A STORIES FROM SHAREHOLDERS IN KING GARVEY YOU PROBABLY WOULD HEAR IF WE HAD LOWER MILLARD RESIDENTS STAND UP

AND TALK TO THEM WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE? >> I MEAN WE HAVE TO NOW PUSH LAWS HERE IN THE CITY TO GOVERN THESE TYPE OF ROGUE MANAGEMENT AGENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE MISMANAGING OUR FUNDS AND THEY'RE

TREATING US WHICH IS SHAREHOLDERS LIKE TENANTS I DON'T LIKE TO USE THE WORD TENANT GOES TENANT MEAN YOU HAVE A LANDLORD? WE DON'T HAVE A LANDLORD. WE ARE THE LANDLORD AND THIS IS YEARS AGO I HAD TO

LITERALLY FIGHT JOHN STUART COMPANY WHICH I CALL THIS DOOM IS JOHN STUART COMPANY PART TWO YEAH FOR THE SAME ISSUES SO THE PATTERN IS THAT WE NEED LAW, WE NEED TO IMPLEMENT LAW AND IT REALLY WON'T

MATTER WHO BECOME MANAGEMENT AGENT I WOULD PREFERS TO EVENTUALLY BECOME SELF MANAGE BUT IN TRUTH UNTIL THAT HAPPEN WE NEED LAWS TO ENSURE THAT THESE KIND OF MANAGEMENT AGENTS THESE ROGUE CONTRACTORS

BY THE WAY WHICH REFUSE TO SUPERVISE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING ON OUR PROPERTY WHERE I HAVE PLENTY OF PICTURES I COULD SHOW YOU OF THEM GOD I MEAN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COMMERCIAL LADDERS JUST LAYING AROUND

A PROPERTY YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY GOT SOULS AND IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS AT A CERTAIN POINT IT'S LIKE A CHILD COULD DO A BETTER JOB SUPERVISING AND ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK ON THIS

PROPERTY. >> AND ONE OF THE MOST EGREGIOUS THINGS I HAVE AND I'VE BEEN A KING EVER AGAIN SINCE 76 AND BEEN ON THE BOARD FOUR TIMES OWNING OFF ME AND ONE OF OUR OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, MR. COLLINS AND

KNOW HE'S HERE. YEAH, WE WAS IN THE BOARD ROOM AND I LOOKED OVER TO TO MY LEFT AND IT WAS A BOX FULL OF FILES AND I WAS LIKE THAT'S WEIRD BECAUSE THE BOARD ROOM IS FOR THE BOARD, RIGHT? BUT THEY YOU

KNOW THEY LITERALLY OCCUPYING SPACES. THAT'S NOT IN OUR CONTRACT BY THE WAY. THE ONLY SPACE THAT THEY SHOULD BE IN IS THE MANAGEMENT OFFICE BUT THEY'RE TAKEN RIGHTS TO THE RESTROOM, THE KITCHEN, ALL

THESE OTHER AREAS WHICH IS COMMON WAY AREAS BY THE WAY THAT WE PAY INTO OUR SHAREHOLDERS. >> RIGHT. BUT CHECK THIS OUT A FOLDER OF THE MOVE IN WAITING LISTS. >> IT'S JUST IN A BIG OLD BROWN BOX OVER

500 SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS. >> YEAH. >> WHAT KIND OF MANAGEMENT AGENT JUST INTENTIONALLY PUT A FILE WITH SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS CONFIDENTIAL. >> SO INFORMATION OF PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T EVEN YET BY THE

WAY IT'S NOT IN KING GARVEY IS NOT RESIDENTS IN KING GARVEY AND WHEN THEY SUBMITTED THE APPLICATIONS HOPEFULLY LEAN IN THEIR MIND IS THAT YOU KNOW WE SUBMITTED TO A LEGITIMATE MANAGEMENT AGENT THAT

WOULD NOT JUST THROW IT TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT. IT IS INSANITY TO HAVE PEOPLE'S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS WHICH IS BY THE WAY A FEDERAL CRIME AND IT'S CLEARLY STATED AS A MANAGEMENT AGENT ON OUR

MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATE FORM WHICH IS A HUD FORM THAT YOU AGREE TO A CERTAIN LEVEL AS MS. YOU WOULD PUT IT VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL LAW, STATE LAW AND LOCAL LAW YOU WOULD DO EVERYTHING YOU GOT TO BE A

GOOD CARETAKER AND WE'RE PAYING YOU ALL THIS MONEY. >> YOU DON'T IT DIDN'T NEVER COME TO MIND. >> YOU DON'T PUT A MOVE IN FILES IN A BOX IN A BOARD ROOM WHICH ANYONE COULD COME IN AND OUT. >> THESE

ARE SOME OF THE EGREGIOUS THINGS THAT'S HAPPENING AT MORNING SEEING MARCUS GARVEY AND I JUST WANT US TO AGAIN TO UNDERSTAND THAT FRAUD, WASTE, MISMANAGEMENT AND HUD IS GOT TO BE INCLUDED IN THE MIND

OF SUPERVISORS AS YOU FIGURE THIS THING OUT AND MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS HAVING ADDITIONAL HEARINGS OR EVEN HAVING EVEN A BROADER HEARING OR EVEN JOINT HEARINGS. >> WE NEED LAWS TO BE CHANGED SO WE CAN

HAVE AGAIN T FOUGHT OUR HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION AGENCY AND OTHERS TO LESS EVEN IF WE HAVE TO CREATE A NEW COMMITTEE OR A SPECIAL STANDING BODY TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A ALARMING

ISSUE THAT WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT? >> YEAH. SO AS YOU WERE JUST BROUGHT UP AN EXCELLENT POINT TOO AND I'M EXPERIENCING THIS PERSONALLY ABOUT OUR EQUITY. >> SO WHO AT HERE AT KING GARVEY WE

ARE DEALING WOULD COME PLEA AND WE HAVE REALLY JUST PUT IT THIS WAY EVERY SHAREHOLDER RIGHT OWNS A SHARE IN OUR EQUITY. >> WE WAS TOLD YEARS AGO WHEN WE TOOK OUT THAT LOAN FOR THE REHAB THAT THEY

BOUGHT OFF THE EQUITY AND SOME EVEN BOARD MEMBERS TOLD US THAT THERE IS NO EQUITY WITHOUT OUR CONSENT. THE LAW REQUIRES 66.6% TO AGREE TO THAT. >> NO, MISSY ELLIOTT, PLEASE COME ON TO THE MICROPHONE

SO WE CAN HEAR YOU. OKAY. SO I DON'T WANT IMPEDE ON YOUR TIME BUT THERE ARE SOME REALLY KEY SALIENT POINTS THAT WILL BE HELPFUL IN YOU HELPING US. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO POINT OUT

AS A GRAVE EGREGIOUS POTENTIAL ILLEGALITY IS THAT IN ALL THE CO OPS IN THE CITY THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS, THERE ARE LIMITED EQUITY AND THERE ARE FULL EQUITY. >> KING GARVEY IS A LIMITED EQUITY CO OP

WE AMASS ANNUALLY EQUITY AND INTEREST AND WE GET A SUBSCRIPTION CERTIFICATE WHEN WE MOVE IN THAT PROVES WE'RE A MEMBER. >> WE DO NOT OWN OUR APARTMENTS. CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, WE OWN ONE SHARE IN

THE 119 MILLION DOLLAR TWO BLOCKS SQUARE RADIUS OF THE LAND WE OWN ONE SHARE AND THAT WHOLE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR COMPLEX NOT JUST OUR UNIT AND SO THAT IN SAN FRANCISCO A REAL ESTATE IS APPRAISED VERY

HIGH AND IS ELEVATED HIGH EACH YEAR ANNUALLY AND THEY HAVE THE LEGAL DUTY TO REPORT ANNUALLY HOW MUCH OUR EQUITY IS. >> I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THAT REPORT IN 4 OR 5 YEARS. >> OKAY. AND THEY ALSO HAVE A

LEGAL DUTY TO PROVIDE THE INTEREST REPORTS ON OUR REAL PROPERTY INVESTMENT SO THAT WE CAN COMPLY WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF IRS AND THE STATE FRANCHISE TAX BOARD. WE HAVE TO REPORT THAT WE CANNOT BECAUSE

THEY STILL GIVEN US THOSE INTEREST RECEIPT DIVIDEND REPORTS WHEN DOMAS CAME ON BOARD. >> THANK YOU JUDY BISHOP WE JUST SAY ONE MORE THING SUPERVISOR I KNOW WE CAN WRAP IT UP BECAUSE OF COURSE YOU GOT

THIS REPORT BUT I WANT OF COURSE THE AUDIENCE TO OR THE PEOPLE TO HEAR JUST A FEW OF THESE MAJOR VIOLATIONS AS WELL AS WHAT DEE DEE WAS JUST SAYING. SO WE'RE OPERATING WITH A LEGAL BYLAWS WHICH WAS

REVISED IN 2009. WE ARE FAILING TO BEING PROVIDED EVEN AS BOARD MEMBER AS ME PRIOR PREVIOUSLY BEING ON THE BOARD AND MANY OTHERS MONTHLY REPORTS, COUNTY REPORTS WHAT ELSE AND FAILING TO PARTICIPATE IN

SPECIAL MEAN BOARD MEMBERS IS SO ROGUE AT KING GARVEY THE WAY OUR BYLAWS WAS COMPILED IS THAT IF YOU HAVE REAL BOARD MEMBERS THAT ONLY TWO BOARD MEMBERS CAN CALL A SPECIAL MEETING. BUT WHAT HAPPENS AT

KING GARVEY IS OF COURSE IF THEY OPPOSE THE AGENDA AND A TOPIC THEY JUST WON'T SHOW UP AND THEN YOU DON'T HAVE A CORNER. SO WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THAT FOR YEARS. THEN ALSO WHICH I SUGGESTED WHEN I

WAS ON THE BOARD ME AND A FEW OTHER BOARD MEMBERS IS THAT WE CLEAN THE SLATE OF THE ISSUE DEALING WITH, YOU KNOW, SHAREHOLDERS IN BACK PAYMENTS BECAUSE OF THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC THAT TOOK PLACE AND THE

TENANT SELECTION PLAN IS WHAT I SUGGESTED WHICH IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY COME IN TO THE CO-OP AND THEY REALLY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SHOULD THEY SUBMIT AN APPLICATION AND NOT YOU NEED TO GIVE THEM SOME

KIND OF POLICY TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. >> LIKE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE CAME TO ME AND CALL ME SAY WELL THEY DIDN'T CALL ME BACK AND HAS 14 DAYS TO FILE A COMPLAINT IF THEY, YOU KNOW, DENY YOU OR DENY

YOU I MEAN DENY YOUR APPLICATION. SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS AGAIN ADDITIONALLY OF THE VIOLATIONS THAT'S HAPPENING WITH DOMUS MANAGEMENT AND AND THE BIGGEST ONE IS DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS. >> SO

WHAT WAS SAID EARLIER EVEN AS AS TIME IS PLAYING AND WHAT'S HAPPENED AT ALL THESE CO-OPS IS OVERSIGHT SUPERVISION JUST DAY TO DAY WALKING THROUGH THE PROPERTY AS A MANAGER OR A MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR

TO SEE THAT THINGS ARE GETTING DONE. >> YOU CAN'T FIX THE DOOR KNOB. YOU PUT IN A REPORT. WE'LL COME BACK TO SEE IF THE DOOR KNOB WAS FIXED. IT'S JUST A SIMPLE STUFF AND THIS IS WHY YOU'RE HEARING

THIS FROM THE PEOPLE AND IT'S JUST OUTRAGEOUS. SO I LEAVE IT THERE BUT AGAIN THANK YOU FOR CALLING THIS HEARING AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO FOLLOWING UP AND WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE AND

DOCUMENTATION BY THE WAY, TO PROVE EACH AND EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID THIS MORNING. >> THANK YOU, JANE. I THINK I JUST WANT TO CLOSE REALLY QUICKLY AND LET YOU GUYS KNOW YOU GUYS DO HAVE

JURISDICTION WHEN IT COMES TO THE FACT THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD CURRENTLY IS LINDA YOAKUM. >> SHE SIGNED OFF ON THE 50 FILM THE $54 MILLION RENOVATION AND ABATEMENT IN 2010 FROM THE

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY. SHE JUST LAST MONTH SIGNED OFF AND PUT US IN DEBT ANOTHER 59 MILLION DOLLARS $59,000,000.16 YEARS LATER YOU DIDN'T DO THE ABATEMENT. YOU HAVE ALL THESE OPEN DEBATE CLAIMS AND

YOU'RE GOING TO PUT US IN DEBT FOR ANOTHER 30 PLUS YEARS. >> I'M CALLING FOR AN INVESTIGATION AND SHE DID NOT ASK SHE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A QUORUM OF THE SHAREHOLDERS WHEN SHE DID ANY OF THIS. I'M

CALLING FOR A LEGAL INVESTIGATION, A FORENSIC INVESTIGATION INTO THE BOOKS OF DUMMIES AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING, MARCUS GARVEY, THANK YOU . THANK YOU, DANIEL. I'LL TAKE A DAY.

THANK YOU FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE REMARKS. I COVERED A LOT OF MY QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO COVER THE FLOODING THE THE THE WATER, THE SEWAGE, THE TBI COMPLAINTS ALSO SOME OF THE CRIMINAL COMPONENTS

THAT HAVE HAPPENED WITH THE CRIMES THAT HAVE HAPPENED ON WITH STOLEN PROPERTY AS WELL. >> CAN WE ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS? SO ABSOLUTELY TO COMMENT THE FIRST IS ON THE QUESTION OF YOU MENTIONED I

THINK YOU'VE COMMENTED A COUPLE OF TIMES DANIELLE, BUT ISSUES WITH CONTRACTORS HAVING UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO SPACES CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE REALLY BRIEFLY WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ABOUT SECURITY

AND SAFETY? OH WELL I SPEAK TO SO WELL THE BIG THE CONTRACTORS SELF IS DOMUS HAVE AN ACCESS TO SPACES AND YOU WILL YOU WILL FIND EMPLOYEES OF DOMUS TAKING THE LIBERTY TO EVEN UTILIZE SPACES WITHIN THE

PROPERTY ILLEGALLY BY THE WAY AS AN APARTMENT. SO THERE'S ONE PARTICULAR SPACE ON TURK SIDE OF OF MARTIN LUTHER KING SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. ONE DAY I WAS JUST WALKING THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND A LADY

THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND SHE WAS IN PUTTING UP SOME LAUNDRY, CLOTHING, YOU KNOW, HANGING CLOTHING AND I'M LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON? THIS IS A THIS IS A JANITORIAL SPACE BY THE WAY. IT'S NOT AN APARTMENT. SO

SHE SLAMMED THE DOOR AND THEN I WENT UP AT TIME OF COURSE I'M A BOARD MEMBER AND I AM A SHAREHOLDER. >> I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. AND I SAID SCUSE ME MA'AM, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN HERE. >>

WHAT'S GOING ON? SHE SAID, OH NO, YOU GOT TO TALK TO MY HUSBAND. YEAH. >> AND COME TO FIND THE FACT THAT YOU'RE SURE YOU'RE ALL SHARE OWNERS AND THIS AND THIS IS ACCESS YOU SHOULD BE HAVING YOURSELF

AS OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY BUT DOMAS IS BLOCKING IT IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, RIGHT? >> NO, NO, NO. THIS IS THIS IS NOT THIS IS NOT EVEN APARTMENT. THIS IS JUST ACTUALLY LIKE A UTILITY SPACE, A STORAGE

SPACE ON THE PROPERTY AND THEY'RE USING YOU GOT EMPLOYEES OR PERSONNEL USING THESE SPACES ADDITIONALLY LIKE THEY YEAH AS IF IT'S YOU KNOW PRIVATE ONLY AND ONE OF THEM HAVE A WASH MACHINE IN IT AND I

MEAN IS CAUSING PROBLEMS ON THAT WHOLE SIDE OF THE BUILDING ON TARTT STREET AND THESE ARE JUST ONE OF MANY SPACES THAT'S BEING USED BY EMPLOYEES AND IT'S NOT BEING APPROVED BY THE BOARD BECAUSE IT'S

ILLEGAL. >> IT'S AGAINST HOOD LAW IS AGAINST STATE LAW AND IT'S IS A HAZARD IF SOMETHING CATCH ON FIRE YOU KNOW, THESE BUILDINGS IS LIKE CRACKERJACK ALMOST BOXES I MEAN A WHOLE PROBABLY WHOLE BLOCK A

BURNED DOWN. >> SO THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE. LAST QUESTION I'LL HAVE BEFORE WE NEED TO TALK TO EMMA PARKER FOR THIS AND THEN WE'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. SUPERVISOR MELGAR HAS PROPOSED LEGISLATION TO

SUPPORT CO-OPS LIKE I'M OKAY. >> MARCUS GARVEY WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IN THAT LEGISLATION ? >> CAN WE BOTH ANSWER THAT? YEAH. OKAY. SO WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN ORDINANCE AND OR A LEGISLATION

IS AN OVERSIGHT BODY WITH REGARDS TO AND THIS HELPS YOU WITH THE JURISDICTION AGAIN CONTRACT COMPLIANCE. SO THE REASON WHY I BROUGHT UP THE $50 MILLION LOAN THAT WAS JUST RECENTLY SIGNED IS IN THE

PREVIOUS WE WORKED IN TANDEM WITH THE CITY AS WELL AS COMMERCIAL BANKS AND HUD. >> SO THERE GIVES YOU SOME LEEWAY FOR OVERSIGHT BY VIRTUE OF THE CONTRACT SIGNING FOR THE ECONOMICS THAT'S FUNDING THE

SUSTAINABILITY OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS. SO IN ORDER FOR US TO GET MONEY IN A LOAN WE HAVE TO HAVE PARTNERS SO YOU NEED TO CHECK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THE IG AROUND WASTE, FRAUD AND MISMANAGEMENT.

OKAY. AND MAYBE EVEN YOU CAN SUPERSEDE AND INTERCEDE IN SOME OF THESE I THINK ARE POTENTIALLY QUESTIONABLE CONTRACTS WITH REGARDS TO THE USE OF SPACE THAT YOU ASKED DANIEL LANDRY THERE ARE WE HAVE 27

STORAGE SPACES AT KING GARVEY AND PEOPLE ARE USING THEM AT THEIR WHIM. >> THEY'RE EVEN TAKING OUT PARKING SPOTS THAT HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO US. WE AS WE WE A LOT FOR IN OUR MANAGERIAL CONTRACTS FREE

APARTMENTS FOR THE PROPERTY MANAGER WE HAD A PROPERTY MANAGER LIVING THERE WHOSE TIME SHARING HER SERVICES WITH ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT BUT SHE'S GETTING A FULL TIME SALARY AT KING GARVEY AND A FULL TIME

FREE APARTMENT WHILE SHE'S ELSEWHERE MOST OF THE TIME THERE WE NEED TO LOOK INTO THE LEGALITY OF THAT WASTE, FRAUD, MISMANAGEMENT. >> OKAY. AND THE OTHER ISSUE IS THESE SPACES ARE BEING COMMANDEERED

BY AGENTS AND SUB AGENTS BECAUSE THERE IS A LACK OF OVERSIGHT BY THE BOARD AND THE MANAGEMENT. >> SO THOSE 20 SEVEN STORAGE ROOMS COULD BE SOMEBODIES PRIVATE MAN'S SHED BUT THAT'S NOT PERMISSIBLE

UNDER THE USE OF THE PROPERTY UNDER THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES. >> SO YOU NEED TO LOOK TO WHAT'S CALLED THE HUD 4350 HANDBOOK AROUND THE OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES REGARDING KING GARVEY, I ALSO WANT TO SAY

REALLY QUICKLY I HAD FOUR KINDS OF AS FESTUS THEY'RE LYING TELLING RESIDENTS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE AS BEST THOSE IF IT'S IN MY UNIT IT'S IN ALL THE UNITS. >> OKAY THERE'S PLUMBING PROBLEMS, ELECTRICAL

PROBLEMS, CDBG AND DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH PLEASE FOLLOW THROUGH IF YOU WANT TO DO LEGISLATION YOU MANDATE COMPLIANCE WOULD EXISTING STATUTORY LAW FEDERAL GUIDELINES UNDER THE HOOD HUD GUIDELINES

AND CITY ORDINANCE THEY'RE NOT EVEN FOLLOWING WHAT'S ALREADY ON THE BOOKS. WE WOULD LOVE TO MEET WITH YOU AND HELP YOU LEGISLATE THAT THEY DID AND THEY ALL YOU KNOW. >> THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE IT. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO EMMA PARK. EMMA PARK IS A CO-OP JUST TWO BLOCKS SOUTH OF THOMAS PAINE SQUARE. IT HAS BEEN A CO-OP SINCE THE 1970S AND DELMAS TOOK OVER THE

MANAGEMENT ALSO IN 2020 FOUR. >> UNLIKE KING GARVEY, EMMA PARK HAS A MIX OF HUD SUBSIDIZED AND MARKET RATE UNITS. >> SHORTLY AFTER TAKING OVER, MARKET RATE UNITS WENT FROM $2,000 TO OVER $6,000 FOR

FOUR BEDROOM UNITS IN THE SPAN OF TWO YEARS. >> IS IT PUBLIC SPEAKING? NOT YET. SORRY. >> RESIDENTS OF THESE FOUR BEDROOM UNITS WERE ASKED TO CERTIFY UNDER HUD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS EVER. AT THE

SAME TIME CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW LAUNDRY ROOM CREATED UNSAFE LIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR ONE HOUSEHOLD. THOSE COMPLAINTS WERE NOT ADDRESSED AND REMAINED UNADDRESSED. MY TEAM MET WITH THE PRESIDENT AND ONE

OF THE OTHER MEMBERS OF ALMA PARK BOARD TO GET THEIR PERSPECTIVE. BUT THEY'VE OPTED NOT TO JOIN THE HEARING. SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO HEARING FROM. TO HARRIET LARKIN. HARRIET, IF YOU'RE HERE PLEASE COME TO

THE LECTERN. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. HELLO. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE. I'M HERE TO REPRESENT THE RESIDENTS OF ANIMAL PARK. >> THEY ARE FACING EVICTION BECAUSE ACCORDING TO DELMAS, THEY HUD

HAS CHANGED THE THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER HUD AND FOR BEDROOM UNITS. A SUBSIDIZED UNDER HUD ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED. WE HAD A MEETING WITH THEM. I ASKED THEM FOR PROOF OF THIS. SHE SAID MY MY MANAGER HAD A

CONVERSATION WITH HER AND THEY TOLD US THAT. I EXPLAINED TO THEM IN A SPIRIT OF TRANSPARENCY WE NEEDED TO HAVE SOMETHING IN WRITING. SHE BECAME UPSET. THEY THEN CAME BACK AND TOLD US THAT FOUR

BEDROOMS A MARKET RATE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZED BY HEARD. BUT THESE PEOPLE HAVE LIVED HERE 16 PLUS YEARS UNDER THAT SAME CONDITION. THEN I EMAILED TO HER THE DOCUMENT THAT WAS SENT FROM

DELMAS TO THESE RESIDENTS IN DECEMBER OF 2025 THAT HAD THEM AS FOUR BEDROOM SUBSIDIZED MARKET RATE UNITS. SO I ASKED THEM FOR PROOF OF A TRANSFER FROM HER. THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE IT. THEN THEY WENT

BACK AND FORTH EXCUSE ME ABOUT WHO WAS RESPONSE ABOVE THE BOARD OR THEM. >> WE NEVER GOT ANYTHING PROVEN . >> WE'VE NEVER GOTTEN ANYTHING . >> BUT IF THEY DON'T CONVERT TO SECTION EIGHT THEY'RE GOING

TO BE EVICTED. THAT'S ALL THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO BE EVICTED. AND IN THE MEANTIME THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE SOMEONE TOOK OUT A $1.5 MILLION LOAN. >> NO UNITS WERE REPAIRED. THE AND THE UNITS ARE IN

HORRIBLE REPAIR. THERE'S WATER FLOODING INTO THEM. THERE'S COMING FROM UPSTAIRS BATHROOMS. THERE'S RAT INFESTATION. WATER COMES THROUGH THE WINDOWS SILLS. WHEN IT RAINS, THERE'S MOLD EVERYWHERE. WHEN

WE REMINDED DELMAS OF THIS, DELMAS SAID, WELL, WE'LL DEAL WITH THAT LATER. BUT RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING TO SPRAY SOMETHING AROUND THE OUTSIDE FOR THE RAT INFESTATION. NOTHING

ABOUT THE CONDITIONS INSIDE. SO THESE PEOPLE ARE INHALING MOLD AND OTHER ISSUES FURTHER. >> THEY HAVE NEVER RECEIVED UNDER THIS PRESENT BOARD AND DELMAS A REPORT ON THE FINANCIALS. WHEN WHEN A BOARD

GETS MONEY AND THEY DO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT THAT AS WELL AS IT GO BEFORE THE SHAREHOLDERS. >> I'M SURE THE SHAREHOLDERS WOULD HAVE RATHER THAT THEIR MONEY WOULD HAVE BEEN USED TO FIX THE DILAPIDATED

UNITS THERE SO PEOPLE CAN HAVE SAFE LIVING ENVIRONMENT VERSUS REPAIR IN THE PARKING LOT VERSUS PUTTING IN A LAUNDROMAT WHEN THERE'S ALREADY ONE THERE AND THE LAUNDROMAT IS ALSO CAUSING HARM TO SOME

TENANTS THAT LIVE NEXT TO IT BECAUSE OF THE DEBRIS, BECAUSE OF THE DEBRIS. AND ON TOP OF THAT THEY FINALLY HAD A BOARD MEETING AFTER ALL OF THIS TIME. AT THE BOARD MEETING THEY PRESENTED NO

FINANCIALS. THE BOARD MEETING TOLD THE THE SHAREHOLDERS THAT THEY COULD GO TO THE DELMAS OFFICE THE FOLLOWING DAY AND GET THE GET THE FINANCIALS. DELMAS TOLD THEM NO, YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SHARE

TO THE BOARD. >> THE BOY DID NOT GIVE THEM THEY WERE GOING TO EMAIL HIM. TO THIS DAY WE STILL DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCIALS AND OTHER CAPITAL AND I CAN ACTUALLY TELL YOU WHAT THE PRESIDENT LET ME JUST

LIKE I SAID, THIS IS A WRONG. >> WELL, IN ANY EVENT, THERE'S A CALIFORNIA STATUTE TO THAT A BOARD A FINANCIALS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SUBMITTED EVERY YEAR BY MAIL TO THE SHAREHOLDERS DELMAS NOR THE BOARD

OF DIRECTORS HAVE DONE THIS. >> SO WE DON'T KNOW HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT. WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING THEY'RE USING TACTIC X OF HARASSMENT AND INTIMIDATION TO LET THE FOUR BEDROOM UNITS BUCKLE DOWN AND

BECOME SECTION EIGHT HOUSING AND THEY ARE ALSO PEOPLE WHO HAVE REQUESTED A LARGER UNITS YEARS AGO HAVE BEEN DENIED UNITS. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN MOVED. ONE SUCH RESIDENT, HER MOTHER FELL ON THE PROPERTY.

THEY LIVE IN A ONE BEDROOM. THERE'S THREE ADULTS AND ONE OF THEM IS IN A HOSPITAL BED AND THE HUSBAND AND WIFE'S BEDROOM THEY CANNOT SHE CANNOT GET PHYSICAL THERAPY BECAUSE THE SPACE IS TOO TIGHT. BUT

WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY MOVED INTO THAT UNIT THEY TOLD THEM THAT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE YOU OUT AS SOON AS A TWO BEDROOM IS AVAILABLE. THEY DID NOT DO THAT. NOTHING I BELIEVE THAT NOTHING THAT DOMA'S OR THE

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT A MALE HOUSING SAYS IS TRUE. I DON'T TRUST THEM AT ALL. AND IF YOU AND IF THERE WAS SOMEBODY AND YOU COULD TRUST THEM, THEY COULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME DOCUMENTATION.

ANYTIME YOU CAN'T DOCUMENT THAT SOMETHING IS QUESTIONABLE TO ME IT'S LIKE I TOLD YOU THIS IS HOW IT IS. NO IT'S NOT HOW IT IS BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT WE ARE THESE ARE HUMBLE PEOPLE. THEY'RE KIND

PEOPLE. THEY WERE A CLOSE KNIT COMMUNITY NOW THEY'RE A COMMUNITY IS BEING DIVIDED BECAUSE THIS GROUP THAT WANTS TO BE ON THE SIDE OF THE BOARD AND NOT BE HARASSED THEIR FAVOR WHILE THIS OTHER GROUP

THEY FEEL ARE TROUBLEMAKERS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE BOARD IN DELMAS TELLS THEM. SO THE PEOPLE THAT THEY'VE BEEN FRIENDS WITH FOR EONS THESE PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER SPEAKING TO THEM AND THESE PEOPLE ARE

LITERALLY IN FEAR. THEIR HOUSING CONDITIONS ARE UNSAFE. IS IS HORRIBLE. >> YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT PICTURES OF SOME OF THE UNITS, IT'S LIKE YOU'RE IN I DON'T KNOW SOME OTHER COUNTRY YOU KNOW YOU'RE

NOT IN THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THAT HERE. THE PEOPLE THAT I REPRESENT ARE FROM EAST AFRICA. THEY CAME HERE FOR A BETTER WAY AND WE SHOWED THEM A WORSE WAY AND IT IS

NOT ACCEPTABLE. IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. >> YOU SHOULD NOT LEAVE SOMEWHERE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITY AND HAVE NO OPPORTUNITY TO BE TALKED TO AND HUMILIATED AND SPOKE TO YOU LIKE IT'S LIKE YOU SALLY STUPID.

THEY TRY TO SPEAK TO THESE PEOPLE LIKE THEY SELL THESE STUPID AND IT'S NOT OKAY. >> THANK YOU. I THINK I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT POINT THAT YOU'RE REPRESENTING TEN RESIDENTS FROM ALMA PARK. YES,

ALMOST ALL OF THEM ARE ETHIOPIAN AND ERITREAN. YES. AND THEY ARE LESS COMFORTABLE WITH ENGLISH AND THEY HAVE YOU TO SPEAK ON THEIR BEHALF. >> SO THANK YOU FOR DOING SO. YES. AND AND THEN THERE'S A

LARGE GROUP OF THEM HERE. STAND UP. YES. SO WE ARE THEY CAME OUT YET BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS GOT TO CHANGE. >> SOMETHING HAS GOT TO CHANGE. THANK YOU. HERE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ONE ONE QUESTION I THINK

IT'S REALLY AUSPICIOUS AND AND REALLY CONCERNING THAT YOU RAISE THIS ISSUE ABOUT THE MASSIVE RENT SPIKE. >> CAN YOU TELL ME HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING FROM HUD IN TERMS OF RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE? >> NO.

NO, IT'S NOT AND IT'S NO, I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM HER. THERE'S NO PAPERWORK FROM HER. I GOOGLED HEARD HEARD HAS NOT MEET HUD HAS NOT MADE ANY CHANGES AND ALL THE DUMB IS IS IS SOMEBODY TOLD ME

SO OKAY AND SOMEBODY TOLD ME SO IS NOT OKAY. >> OKAY. UNDERSTOOD. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. YOU HEARD LAST THANK YOU AGAIN WE DO NOT EXPECT TO HEAR FROM DOMAS ON THAT NOTE BUT IF THERE'S ANYONE FROM DOMAS

HERE, PLEASE COME FORWARD BECAUSE WE ARE DYING TO TALK TO YOU. THEY ARE UNFORTUNATELY NOT HERE. SO THAT ENDS THIS PORTION OF THE HEARING. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SPOKEN SO FAR. IF THERE'S NO

COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS COMMITTEE MEMBER IS CHAIR TURNER BACK TO YOU FOR PUBLIC COMMENT SUPERVISOR MIC MOOD THANK YOU ESPECIALLY TO THE RESIDENTS WHO TOOK TIME OFF FROM WORK FOR BEING TO BE HERE. THANK

YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. COLLEAGUES ANY COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT SO IF WE COULD OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT PLACE OH I'M SORRY. >> I'M SORRY EXCUSE ME ONE SECOND. SUPERVISOR WRONG. OH, I JUST

LIKE TO THANK ALL THE RESIDENTS FOR COMING TO OUR COMMITTEE TO SHARE THEIR SHARE THEIR CONCERNS AND SO THAT THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED AND THAT THE BOARD CAN BRING AND ASK FOR ACCOUNTABILITY ON THESE

ISSUES. >> THANK YOU. IF WE CAN TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT AND HEAR FROM THE RESIDENTS. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THE GOVERNMENT AUDIT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WILL NOW HEAR PUBLIC COMMENT RELATED TO AGENDA ITEM

NUMBER ONE FOLKS HAVE ALREADY LINED UP. CAN WE GET THE FIRST SPEAKER TO COME FORWARD TO THE LECTERN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? >> HELLO, MY NAME IS RANDALL EVANS. I WISH YOU WOULDN'T EVEN TURN ON THE CLOCK.

THE STUFF WE TALKING ABOUT TAKES TIME TO SAY BUT THIS IS A PATTERN YOU KNOW IT'S A PATTERN FROM ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE 50S. YOU KNOW 2500 VICTORIAN HOUSES TOOK AN AWAY 4500 BLACK PEOPLE ERASE EIGHT

HUNDRED AND 70 BLACK BUSINESSES STRICTLY BY GOD. >> THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE SPEAKING IN BEHALF OF PEOPLE TODAY ARE UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY. YET THIS BLACK COMMUNITY IS UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND

SOMETHING FUNNY IS GOING ON. >> SEE BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT I'VE BEEN DOWN HERE WHEN PEOPLE HAVE CAME DOWN TO THIS BUILDING TO THIS ROOM BEFORE AND MADE THESE SAME VALID COMPLAINTS. >> SO DO YOU

HAVE A RECORD OF IT? IS THERE IS THERE A WHO'S WHO IS THE POLICE OFFICER OF THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION? I MEAN WHY IS THIS ONLY HAPPENING IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY? OKAY. WHY IS THIS ONLY HAPPENING WHERE

WE LIVE? YOU KNOW, WE KNOW HERE AND YOU DON'T SEE NO ONE ELSE DOWN HERE HAVING THOSE COMPLAINTS BUT MY PEOPLE SEE SOMETHING FUNNY GOING ON. >> OKAY. NOW I RESPECT WHERE YOU COME IN FROM SUPERVISOR AND

WE'RE GOING TO PUT THEIR FEET TO YOUR FIRE BECAUSE WE GOT NO OTHER CHOICE BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IT SHOULD BE A SERIOUS COMMITTEE WITH THE MAYOR SITTING THERE TALKING ABOUT HEY, THIS IS SERIOUS

STUFF, LET'S DO SOMETHING. >> YESTERDAY SOMEBODY IS JOB TO BE STOPPED. SOMEBODY FROM HEIGHTS SHOULD BE AT THE DOORSTEPS RIGHT HERE. SOMEBODY FROM THAT TOWN IS EITHER THEY DON'T THIS BRINGS ALL THE

DEVELOPMENTS. >> HOW DID THAT TAKE PLACE? I MEAN HOW DID THEY GET UNDER FROM ONE DEVELOPMENT TO ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT TO ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT LIKE LIKE A STEWARD LIKE THE BROTHER BROUGHT JON STEWART

BEFORE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU RANDALL ANY COMMENTS? >> THERE IS SOMETHING BECAUSE I'M JUST CONCLUDED MR. EVANS I'M SORRY WE HAVE TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT SPEAKER. >> YOU SHOULD BE HERE. EACH SPEAKER IS

DID NOT WANT TO EVICT PEOPLE AT MARTIN LUTHER KING BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE LETTER FROM CHALCO AND THEY COULDN'T MAKE MERCEDES. >> GAVIN SAID THIS OUT OF HER MOUTH. >> SHE DON'T CARE WHAT DUMAS

MISINFORMING THE SHAREHOLDERS AND SCARING US INTO COMPLACENCY AND DURESS AND THEY HAVE BEEN COLLUDING AND ALSO I WANT TO SAY THAT THERE IS NO LAW THAT REQUIRES A CO-OP TO HAVE A CORPORATE LAWYER. THE

LAW REQUIRES PROPER GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE. LAWYERS ARE RECOMMENDED NOT MANDATED. SO THEY MAKE US BELIEVE THAT THE LAWYER IS MANDATED AND THEY DO NOT PROPERLY INFORM US AT ALL AND YOU CANNOT

CONQUER PEOPLE AND ALLOW WHAT MAKES THEM TO BE GREAT TO MAINTAIN. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. LET'S HAVE THE NEXT SPEAKER PLEASE. >> COME ON. HI, MY NAME IS RAYMOND WASHINGTON. I'M A

SINCE EARLY MARCH I'VE HAD AT LEAST A DOZEN PEST INSPECTIONS, LEASE VIOLATIONS, ANYTHING THEY COULD THINK OF EITHER THEY DON'T SHOW UP TO THE INSPECTIONS OR THEY'VE NEVER EXCEPT FOR RARE INSTANCES

GIVEN ME A FULL 24 HOURS AND THEN RETALIATE WHEN I TELL THEM THEY CAN'T COME IN WHICH I KNOW IS MY RIGHT. I CAN REFUSE THEM AFTER TWO IF THEY DON'T GIVE ME 24 HOURS BUT THERE'S BEEN MAJOR RETALIATION

FROM THAT. >> LIKE I SAID, I HAVE LOST WORK. I AM LUCKY TO WORK WITH FOR A FRIEND OF MINE SO SHE'S FLEXIBLE BUT I'VE PROBABLY LOST A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN INCOME BECAUSE I CAN'T TRUST THEM IN MY

SUPERVISORS AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR DISTRICT FIVE SUPERVISOR PAULA MAHMUD. MY NAME IS JESSICA. I AM A RESIDENT OF THOMAS PAINE SQUARE AND A MEMBER OF OUR TENANTS ASSOCIATION. MY SONS HAVE GROWN

UP HERE. THIS IS OUR HOME AND HOME SHOULD BE WHERE WE FEEL SAFEST. BUT MANY RESIDENTS DO NOT FEEL SAFE. WE HAVE RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT VIOLENCE, INTIMIDATION, DISCRIMINATION, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS THAT

FIRES ON SO UNSAFE BUILDING CONDITIONS AND ADA ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES WE PAY FOR SECURITY SO WE NEED ANSWERS. WHERE ARE THE CONSISTENT PATROLS? WHO DO RESIDENTS CALL AFTER HOURS WHEN SECURITY IS

UNAVAILABLE? >> HOW ARE DOORS, KEYS CAMERAS AND ENTRY POINTS BEING MONITORED? WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY PLAN FOR OUR SENIORS AND DISABLED RESIDENTS WHO MAY NEED ASSISTANCE EVACUATING? AND WHEN RESIDENTS

REPORT THEFT OR SAFETY CONCERNS, WHO FOLLOWS UP AND WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE? THOSE QUESTIONS DESERVE DIRECT ANSWERS FROM DOMA'S MANAGEMENT AND ALLEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION BOBBY SISK AND THE

SECURITY PROVIDER RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTING THIS PROPERTY. RESIDENTS SHOULD NOT BE PASSED FROM ONE PERSON OR ORGANIZATION TO ANOTHER WHILE NOBODY TAKES RESPONSIBILITY. I ALSO WANT THIS ON RECORD

SPEAKING UP DOES NOT ALWAYS FEEL SAFE. I STAND HERE KNOWING I MAY RISK RETALIATION, DISCRIMINATION OR DIFFERENT TREATMENT FOR SPEAKING PUBLICLY. MEMBERS OF OUR TENANT ASSOCIATION CARRY THAT SAME FEAR

WHEN WE ORGANIZE AND ADVOCATE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THIS HAS TAKEN A SERIOUS MENTAL TOLL ON ME, MY FAMILY AND MANY RESIDENTS. BOTH OF MY SONS HAVE EXPERIENCED RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS INCLUDING ASTHMA. I AM

ASKING THAT CONCERNS ABOUT MOLD AIR QUALITY AND UNHEALTHY BUILDING CONDITIONS BE PROPERLY INSPECTED AND CORRECTED. RESIDENTS OF THOMAS PAINE SQUARE HAVE FOUGHT FOR YEARS TO HAVE OUR VOICES BE HEARD AT

THIS LEVEL. SUPERVISOR BALA MAHMOOD YOU HEARD THE CRIES OF DISTRICT FIVE RESIDENTS TOOK OUR CONCERNS SERIOUSLY AND HELPED BRING THESE QUESTIONS INTO THIS ROOM. FOR THAT I SERIOUSLY THANK YOU. NOW WE

THEIR UTILITY BILLS. AND SO WHEN I TRIED TO ASK OKAY, WELL WHAT IS THE ACCOUNT NUMBER THAT CONSERVATIVES HAVE WITH PTSD? JUST COMPLETE MYSTERY. NOBODY KNEW ANYTHING. I STILL TO THIS POINT RIGHT NOW I

KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CONSERVATIVES. AND WHAT IS THEIR ACCOUNTANT NUMBER TWO? >> PITNEY? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I NEED FOR THIS PROGRAM FOR SENIORS THAT HELPS US. WHAT ARE UTILITY BILLS? >> YEAH. WELL, I'LL

STANDING BILL THAT NEEDS TO BE PAID. AND I HAVE A COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION THAT WILL HELP. BUT THEY SAID WHAT IS THE ACCOUNT NUMBER? AND STILL NOTHING. SO CONSERVATIVE IS SOME KIND OF MYSTERY COMPANY.

PRESIDENT FOR TEN YEARS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW THE BOARD COULD HAVE DONE BEFORE THEY SET UP THE EVICTION THING IS THAT THEIR FIDUCIARY DUTY IS FOR THEM TO TALK TO THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE BEHIND

THE CARE IN CHARGES AND SEE WHAT THE BOARD CAN ASSIST THEM IN DOING THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. SECONDLY, I'M ONE OF THE ONES WHO HAVE A HOLE IN MY LIVING ROOM ROOF AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I'VE BEEN BEFORE

BECAUSE I'VE BEEN BEFORE. THING IS STILL THE SAME WAY. THIRDLY I WAS AGAIN VOTED TO THE BOARD AND I'LL BE ONE OF THE OTHER PERSON THAT WAS RUNNING FOR OFFICE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY NAME WAS REMOVED

AND I WAS BEHIND IN MY CARE IN CHARGES. SO I WENT UP BECAUSE I KEEP MY RECEIPTS AND I WENT TO SPEAK TO THEM AND I SAID OH NO, NOT YOU. SO I SAID WHY WASN'T THAT ON THE BOARD? I'LL BE THE OTHER LADY.

SO WHO ISN'T STILL ON THE BOARD? OH WELL YOU HAVE TO TALK TO TAKE THAT UP WITH DUMAS. DUMAS DON'T RUN A COMPLEX. WE HAVE BOARD. WE HAVE ELECTIONS. THE ELECTION SPEAKS FOR ITSELF AND IT TELLS YOU WHAT

WE WANT AND WHO DIDN'T WIN ON ANYTHING. SO TO ME THAT'S A VIOLATION ELECTION FOR ELECTION FRAUD THAT THEY DO AND ALSO ONLY BECAUSE I STOOD UP TO HELP MY FELLOW NEIGHBORS AND SHAREHOLDERS AND I WILL

CONTINUE TO STAND UP AND SPEAK FOR THEM. BUT DUMAS AND THEN THE YOAKUM WILL SAY TO GAVIN THEY GOT TO GO. THEY GOT TO GO. THEY HAVE GROWN UP THERE. WE HAVE PEOPLE WE HAVE 7:00 IN THE MORNING. WORKING

GARAGE DISCOVERED THAT HIS BIKE WAS MISSING WE WERE LIKE BEFUDDLED. >> WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, SO WE CONCLUDED SOMEONE HAD THE KEY IN AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. SO THEY WENT IN,

THEY TOOK MY HUSBAND'S BIKE, THEY STOLE HIS BIKE, THEY STOLE TOOLS AND OTHER THINGS. WELL AS A RESULT, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER I WOULD LEAVE MY HOME I WOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE GARAGE WAS LOCKED BECAUSE WE

HAD TO GET A WHOLE NEW MOTOR AND ALL THE RESIDENTS GOT NO KEYS AND I WASN'T THE ONLY RESIDENT THAT GOT ROBBED. I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE. AND I DISCOVERED THAT MY NEIGHBOR DOWN THE WAY MR. TIM HIS UNIT

AND IT WAS BECAUSE THAT THEY HAD CAMERAS THAT WE DISCOVERED THAT MR. DOUGLAS SESSION MARKETABLE FOR A MISS JANINE THERE WAS A FOURTH PERSON BUT WE DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE FOURTH PERSON WHO WENT IN

HEARINGS. I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THESE DEVELOPERS AND COME TO THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T BRING THEM THERE, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THEM. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THEM. MY NAME IS ACE. I'M ON THE

CASE. I'M 72 YEARS OLD. I GOT THREE GENERATIONS. THEY GOT KIDS. THEY GOT KIDS AND THEY HAD KIDS. >> I USED TO STAY IN THOMAS PAINE YEARS AGO SO I'M NOT NEW TO THIS. IT'S ALL I'M SAYING TO Y'ALL AND I

GOT 12 SECONDS LEFT MY NAME THEY IT AND I'M GOING BEYOND THE CASE. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAD A LOT MORE THAN THREE COMMENTS. LET'S HAVE THE NEXT SPEAKER PLEASE. THANK YOU. SO THESE ARE

MY NAME IS ISAAC. SINCE 11 I'M A HUD ORGANIZER WITH THE HOUSING RIGHTS COMMITTEE IN SAN FRANCISCO. I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE PATTERNS OF WEAK OVERSIGHT OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES IN OUR

COMMUNITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, AT THOMAS PAINE RESIDENTS ARE REPORTED IN AN INADEQUATE REPAIRS POOR COMMUNICATION AND SERIOUS RENT LEDGER PROBLEMS UNDER DOMAS RESIDENTS HAVE PERSONALLY TOLD ME THEY WERE

GETTING CHARGED BACK RENT FOR MONTHS THAT THEY HAD ALREADY PAID FOR. THERE ARE ALSO SERIOUS TRUST ISSUES AS YOU'VE HEARD THERE'S THERE WAS A BREAK IN DOMAS AT FIRST DENIED IT AND THEN BACKPEDALED ONCE

THEY SAW HOW MUCH NOTICE HE WAS GETTING. WELL, I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT WE PARTICIPATED IN A CITYWIDE WALK WITH THOMAS PAINE RESIDENTS AND THE CITYWIDE HOOD ALLIANCE AND ALSO MAYOR DANIEL LEARY,

WHICH MEANS THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS AWARE OF THESE CONDITIONS AND THE CONCERNS RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN RAISING. BUT RESIDENTS ARE STILL ASKING WHERE'S THE ACCOUNTABILITY THIS MET? THIS PATTERN GOES BEYOND

THE FILLMORE AND INTO THE BAYVIEW. ONE SPECIFIC CASE IS ALICE GRIFFITH WHERE RESIDENTS HAVE SPENT YEARS DEALING WITH SERIOUS HABITABILITY ISSUES UNDER ANOTHER HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT COMPANY JOHN STEWART

MANY OF THESE RESIDENTS THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HAVE FILED DUI COMPLAINTS AND WHICH LED TO THE MAJOR SETTLEMENT THAT WAS ON THE NEWS AND THIS IS WHY RESIDENTS ARE ASKING FOR TRANSPARENCY,

OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY. IF A MANAGEMENT COMPANY ALLOWS CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE FOR YEARS, WHY DOES IT CONTINUE TO MANAGE THE PROPERTY WHILE MORE PUBLIC MONEY IS BROUGHT IN TO FIX A DAMAGED

RESIDENTS DESERVE TO KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING AND WHAT REPAIRS ARE BEING MADE, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE AND WHAT CONSEQUENCES EXIST WHERE WE'RE MANAGEMENT FAILS PUBLIC FUNDING SHOULD NOT REWARD

FAILURE. >> IT SHOULD COME WITH REAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESIDENT OVERSIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. LET'S HAVE THE NEXT SPEAKER PLEASE. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS EVELYN FIELDS, A NUMBER OF

RESIDENT OF THOMAS PAINE ON LAGUNA STREET AND I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WATER THAT IS COMING UP UNDER THE FLOOR IN THE KITCHEN AREA UNDER MY REFRIGERATOR AND THEY'VE CHECKED IT AND SAID THERE'S

UNIT AND GO TO A HOTEL AND STAY. BUT I'M DISABLED. YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME A NOTICE WAY BEFORE THEN BECAUSE I HAVE A WORKER THAT LIVES WITH ME TO ALSO MY DOCTOR COMES TO MY HOME TO SEE ME AND MY DOCTOR

BEEN ASKED TO MOVE ME OUT INTO A TWO BEDROOM AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE IN I WOULD HAVE TO GO UP THREE FLIGHTS OF STAIRS TO A TWO BEDROOM. SO I TELL THEM I WANT TO MOVE AND I NEED YOU TO GIVE ME

THE NOTICE SO I COULD GIVE THEM A 30 DAY NOTICE TO MOVE AND SEE THE MAKE THE MANAGER THE NEW MANAGER ASKED ME BECAUSE SHE PUT IT ON MY DOOR BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WHERE SHE COULD GIVE IT TO ME IN

WRITING SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. AND SO WHAT SHE PUT ON MY DOOR WAS A PGD BILL FOR $7,000 INSTEAD IT'S YEAR AND I OWE THEM AND I DON'T KNOW HOW I OWE THEM $7,000 JUST FROM RUNNING AN OXYGEN

APARTMENTS. I'VE LIVED IN SAN FRANCISCO MOST OF MY LIFE AND WHEN I LISTEN AT ALL THESE PEOPLE TODAY I JUST WANTED TO SHARE AND SAY THAT I FEEL HURT FOR HOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TREATED FROM THE HEART. MY

GENERATIONS OF MY PEOPLE A LOT OF THEM ARE GONE AND WHAT REMAINS IS WHAT I TRY TO GIVE BACK TO PEOPLE. IT WAS PUT IN ME YOU KNOW AND TRY TO NOT PERFECT BUT WE TRY TO DO OUR BEST. I WORK WITH PEOPLE

WITH COMPLEX, YOU KNOW, SICKNESSES AND DISEASES AND I WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH ADDICTION CARE. SO I UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES OF THE SPECTRUM AND TRY TO LOOK AND TRY TO HELP PEOPLE. BUT WHAT I SEE PEOPLE

GOING THROUGH WITH THIS HOUSING YOU KNOW, I WAS BLESSED TO GROW UP IN A HOME THAT WAS PURCHASED BY MY PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS. BUT WHAT I SEE PEOPLE GOING THROUGH FROM THE STRUGGLES I'VE HEARD THEM

TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW, THE STRUGGLES THAT COME OUT FROM THE SOUTH BUT TO COME HERE TO LOOK FOR A BETTER LIFE AND TO GET TREATED THIS WAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S YOU FEEL INVISIBLE SOMETIMES YOU YOU CAN FEEL THE

HURT AND THE PAIN AND JUST THE ANGUISH OF THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE AND WE WANT BETTER AND WE WANT TO DO OUR PART AND WE'RE TRYING TO I WANT TO DO WHATEVER I CAN DO TO DO MY PART. DURING THE PANDEMIC I

HOSPITALS. >> SO WE JUST NEED TO ALL DO OUR PART. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR COMMENTS. THE COMMITTEE LET'S HAVE THE NEXT SPEAKER PLEASE. >> HELLO, MY NAME IS ROSALYN AND I AM THE ADVOCATE FOR EVELYN

FIELDS. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THIS THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON. I'M HERE JUST I WAS ONLY COMING TO SPEAK ON HER BEHALF. I JUST WANT TO SPEAK REAL QUICKLY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND I THINK THAT

WE SHE WAS TREATED TOTALLY DISRESPECTFUL BY MANAGEMENT. THEY GAVE HER A NOTICE ON MONDAY, SAID SHE HAD TO LEAVE ON WEDNESDAY. THEY WERE AT HER DOOR AT 9:00 BUT THEY WANTED HER BUT THEY SHE HAD A HOTEL

RESERVATION FOR 3:00. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TIME. I'M A PROPERTY MANAGER. >> YOU NEED MORE THAN 48 HOURS TO DO A WHOLE PLACEMENT AS WELL AS INTO A HOME ENTER INTO A RESIDENCE. >> SO I ASKED THE MANAGER

WE NEED TO GET MORE TIME. THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE IT AS IF WE SHE WAS GOING TO NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE SERVICES DONE IF SHE DID NOT LEAVE YESTERDAY AND I STOOD MY GROUND AND I TOLD THEM NO SHE'S NOT

LEAVING . BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THAT IT'S BECAUSE THEY DID NOT GIVE THEM ENOUGH NOTICE. BUT I AM STILL EXPECTING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD UP THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN AND GET IT DONE.

SO THEY SAID IN A WEEK OR TWO WEEKS THEY WILL GET IT DONE. SO IF NOT YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM US AGAIN AND ONCE AGAIN I AM SO SORRY FOR WHAT EVERYONE'S GOING THROUGH BUT I WILL BE NOW HERE TO ADVOCATE

WASHINGTON. I'M A JOURNALIST. SINCE APRIL I HAVE REPORTED ON THE MARTIN LUTHER KING MARCUS GARVEY SQUARE COOPERATIVE IN THE FILLMORE. ALVAREZ HARPER IS 85 YEARS OLD. SHE CAME TO SAN FRANCISCO FROM

AMARILLO, TEXAS IN 1960. SHE DROVE FOR MONEY. IN 1978 SHE MOVED INTO THE KING GARVEY. RAISED FOUR CHILDREN THERE. AND SHE HAS LIVED IN THE SAME TOWNHOUSE FOR MORE THAN FOUR DECADES. THIS SPRING HER

MANAGER TOLD HER THAT SHE OWED $93,000. THE EVICTION NOTICE TAPED TO HER DOOR SAID 10,000 $83,000 APART. NO ONE HAS ANSWERED THE QUESTION IN PUBLIC. NOT THE MANAGER, NOT THE BOARD ,NOT THE

CORPORATIONS ATTORNEY. THAT IS NOT A BOOKKEEPING ERROR. THAT IS A MACHINE IN OUR PRIVATIZED SYSTEM AND ELDERS HOME DEPENDS ON A MANAGER FILING HER RECERTIFICATION. WHEN THAT FAILS THAT SOMEBODY DIES.

THE RENT QUADRUPLES IN THE EVICTION FOLLOWS. RESIDENTS SAY THE RECERTIFICATION WENT ON PROCESSED FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS. 16 BLACK RESIDENTS GOT NOTICES IN MARCH. MOST OF THEM SENIORS. >> NINE UNLAWFUL

DETAINERS WERE FILED ON MAY 1ST. SO I AM ASKING THIS COMMITTEE FOR SOMETHING PRECISE. DO NOT ACCEPT AN EMPTY CHAIR. VOTE THE SUBPOENAS COMPEL THE LEDGERS, THE RECERTIFICATION LOG, THE BOARD SOLUTIONS,

THE LEGAL FEES CHARGED TO THE COOPERATIVE. PUT THEM IN THE PUBLIC FILE AND HAND THAT FILE TO HUD THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND DIDN'T DO THE HARDER THING. LEGISLATE THE AFFORDABLE

HOUSING MEAN PROPERTY MANAGER ACCOUNTABILITY ACT A MODEL BILL PUBLISHED TODAY DOES SOME SIMPLE THING. A MANAGER CANNOT EVICT A RESIDENT OVER A SUBSIDY THAT MANAGERS LOST A CERTIFIED LEDGER BEFORE ANY

NOTICES GOES OUT. AUDITS EVERY TWO YEARS THE MANAGER PAYS NOT THE ELDER $83,000. A 40 YEAR HOME. SUPERVISORS THE PEOPLE WHO HOLD THE LEDGERS MUST ANSWER FOR THEM. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR

COMMENTS. AND DON'T FORGET TO FIND THEIR EQUITY. THAT LADY IS SITTING HERE IN THE AUDIENCE. >> WE WANTED HER TO COME UP AND SAY SHE'S BEEN FEATURED IN SEVERAL MEDIA OUTLETS. MS.. HARPER YOU SHOULD

COME UP. >> SHE'S THE SECOND LADY IN THE FIRST ROW. THEY TOLD US SHE OWED 90 $3,000 . >> THERE'S SOMEONE WHO HASN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK YET WHO WOULD LIKE A CHANCE TO SPEAK NOW. WE'D LOVE TO HEAR

FROM YOU. >> WE'RE READY HERE WITH YOU. BACHELOR NEGLIGENCE. >> CORRUPTION. SO ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS PUBLIC COMMENT FOR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER ONE FROM WHOM WE HAVE NOT ALREADY HEARD. >> WE'RE READY TO HEAR

WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO. >> MR. CHAIR, IT APPEARS THERE'S NO FURTHER SPEAKERS. OKAY. SEEING NO SPEAKERS PUBLIC COMMENT IS NOW CLOSED. VERY BRIEFLY I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO EXCUSE SUPERVISOR
