duffy or mr. sanchez and that is you heard from the appellant that there's concern about related issues, he listed them including the second floor situation. when this permit assuming this permit is seems to be the way we're going is revoked or canceled, and assuming that this happened and it happens and the property owner calls for a new permit. will all of the items that the appellant is listing, will they all be taken into account as part of the second issuance of the permit? mr. duffy, you can answer if you want since most of them are d.b.i.s. >> i think actually, the issue of the deck. there's an exception of the san francisco building code on the deck. there is a platform. and we consider that a deck. 30" or less above ground does not require a building permit. so if you've got a flat back yard and you're on grade and you want to put a low level deck on there like you see people put decks on top of, you see it all the time, the san francisco code doesn't side for that. when you go down to th

duffy and ask mr. duffy's question of the permit holder, please. >> of course. if you have a question. ms. hu. >> so when we had the approved plans we assumed everything was a firewall. it is correct that i think within the recent investigation period leading us to this appealing we have reason to believe some of those firewalls are just plywood. >> the question is -- mr. duffy would you ask the question complete infill or partial. >> are you building a new wall from the ground to the roof that is a wall or infilling 10 by 6. >> we want a full one hour wall. we thought that it would just be the 10 by 6. i think we have to redo the wall that is potentially not a firewall. the intent is a full firewall. does that answer the question? if not i can clarify. >> that is not on the plans. it is good to know. that is another permit you need. >> absolutely. we would file an addendum or another permit as appropriate to paysicly rectify the site position which is our intent full firewall. >> i am done. >> president honda has a question for deputy director duffy. >> i will

duffy? >> i think a continuance is good in this case to give them time to rethink what happened tonight as well with the new information. maybe they can look at the the project with the architect to say what they are going ahead within this case. maybe it is an easier permit to get internally. yes, they need time to think about this. continuance is good. >> that is a different direction. that is the one you think is best suited to the issues? >> i do, yes, i wouldn't hurt here. it is up to the commissioners. the project is going the change significantly in my opinion from what i see on the plans from what they are able to do on the inside. it could be done on special conditions permit. it is not appealable and they can do some work on the inside. >> thank you. >> permit holders i want to ask you a question. you can't speak. commissioner chang you have a question? >> yes. i have been on this deputy administrator answered and communicated and just hearing the permit holder's concern about the

duffy, director duffy, do you have anything to add? >> the only thing i have to add -- joe duffy, d.b.i. -- is i am familiar with the address, actually, and mr. dollard was in d.b.i. back in 2015, 2016. we have this process where if the three r report, if it looks like it's wrong, we can give them a permit to document the legal occupancy of the building and correct the records because over the years, the records do get muddled up and sometimes a roofer got a permit, and they call it one roof, and there's three units in there, and then, there's a three r report and it shows it as a single-family. we're only trying to fix records. in this case, we tried to do a unit conversion case permit but it couldn't work because the unit kept coming back at two units. the fact that it's got 1812-1816 green street, and it's got permit plans from this owner getting permit plans from the d.b.i. calling it a two-unit building. so there was back and forth, and i'm sure he got frustrated with us. but really, in that case, we have to refer the applicant ba

as for duffy, she used the money from the final appraisal to fulfill that dream. >> that's the house that my grandfather built. i hope to see my grand baby raised in that house >> what an important story our thanks to priscilla thompson for that report. racism, discrimination, it's alive and well sadly in this country. >> you see it more and more. mortgage applications, loans and so much more that's what we're reporting on imagine how rampant it is and we don't know about it. >> just imagine. >> janessa will have your forecast next. >>> the rules of the road. navigating travel as more covid restrictions are lifted. a promo. here's the deal parker, state farm offers everyone surprisingly great rates. yeh, right. pepperoni pocketz, atomic brownie, cuckoo crustiez... there's no promo. just great rates. and a side of ranch. you're the man, man. when you want the real deal...like a good neighbor, state farm is there. feeling stressed in your skin? when you want the real not with new olay retinol body wash. which improves skin 3x better. from dry and stressed, to bright and smooth. so, i c

well safer i get duffy has a very clear and pack your check. if i may say project, he announced that he talked about, talked about at the very frankly to the libyan people. his project is a project of national dialogue, reconciliation. he's a known political figure in the country. he is supported by most of the libyan tribes. that is why the west is terrified for the presence of ken duffy, the, the recent developments we all had, what the assistant secretary of state of the u. s. said that they would refuse to deal with any libya headed by different as, as if the destiny and future of libya should be decided by washington. an estate of the various people in the country. as for general, half the libyan political figures, they have their own authoritarian dreams and they try to arrange their moves and their political and maneuvers with foreign power is because they came to libya and the very 1st place with the aid of foreign powers. i think, i believe all the safe, it is the one who stands tall on the shoulders of the libya and people themselves,

duffy? >> i -- commissioners, joe duffy from d.b.i. yeah, we have had the -- i will say that the homeowner, mr. zucker, the architect, have been very cooperative with us since this unfortunate event happened. i mean, we were, to be honest with you, pretty shocked that the building work was done under a site permit. you don't normally see that, and i just don't know what happened out there for this to happen. it is very unfortunate, and definitely, it is -- the code section is pretty severe. and mr. zucker has presented a letter to d.b.i., and that -- with a proposal to -- i think they're talking of doing a project that would make an additional unit and doing a two-unit building. that would have to go to our interim director, director o'riordan and mr. teague, but i did want to commend them for their efforts to at least try to do something. with these sites being left for five years, it's not an ideal scenario, but it is in the code, and it is something that we have to enforce, and that's what happens. so again, i'm available for any qu

duffy. so it sounds like the engineer who is working on the project sort of makes the decision on whether to sleeve or wrap and then dbi has oversight over that. am i describing it correctly? >> yes, supervisor mar, you are absolutely right. the contractor doing the work would be the initial to provide the sleeving or wrapping. the engineer for the structural observation special inspection -- looking at the size and rebar installation making sure there are all sorts of things, there are like 10 different things in the inspection and the gas line is one of them. you have probably three levels of oversight at that point. obviously that's what we're looking at every day of the week. not just gas lines. that's the process. >> thank you. just one other question i have. there's been allegations made that engineers have produced size-specific retrofit plans without having inspected to site. they're just wondering -- certainly not -- i would hope not the engineers in this hearing, but other engineer

i'll get duffy. he was a friend of. i don't know. tony blair here in london, he was fated here in london, a great friend of neoliberalism. why should the why should the libyan people trust someone closely associated with neo liberalism, multinational corporations as he had he changed and become more of a socialist? i've seen you can never did use as he's thinking his berson either to his history, to just political relations with tony blair or with new liberals. civil islam was very close to many african leaders. he was very close to r a bleed or is he, he visited many countries around the world. he tried to establish peace between libya and the west. but even now he gave an interview to the new york times, not going underground. i believe because he wanted to send particular messages to particular foreign power and sentence power in the west. this is, you know, down to him. he's a man of his own. he has his own philosophy, but she's separate as is loved by the vast majority of the people he's respected. but even those who had differe

flora duffy managed it really well. when she got into a run, which is ten kilometres around tokyo, she was able to pull clear. she is a wonderful story. she was world champion twice in a 2016 and 2017. she has been a dominant force, many expected her to win gold in rio. she hasn't won an olympic medal before. she did at this time — pulling well clear of the field. you could see the m the field. you could see the joy in her face when she crossed the finish line. earlier, we spoke to a member of the royal gazette in bermuda — no doubt quite busy today. i asked him how the mood was in bermuda. celebrations have been going on since flora duffy crossed the line, and herfamily since flora duffy crossed the line, and her family had a since flora duffy crossed the line, and herfamily had a big gathering at one of the local pubs — gathering at one of the local pubs with several hundred pe0ple~ _ pubs with several hundred people. they certainly were celebrating. i think they will be celebrating long into the night — night

mick duffy who was roosevelt's longtime valet. so she eventually comes to the white house and works as the maid. and she would often accompany roosevelt on long trips but the really interesting thing about lindsey mick duffy is that she had a outsized personality. she would entertain the president by doing puppet shows. she had a early iteration of the muppets. one dole was called suicide. the other dogs called chose a bell. and she would have these puppet shows and the president love them. so she was a favorite of the president today actually she would campaign for the president. so in 1930, six in a election that was not a gimme for president roosevelt she was actually on the stump. in major cities across the united states. so i want to give you an example of the kind of campaign that she was doing. so this is from the baltimore african american which is a african american newspaper. and it says that no man as a hero to his valet. for over 350 years since the prince icon made the above statement the world has to bid on both side

pete: here to react former wisconsin congressman sean duffy and rachel campos duffy. good morning. we'll get to that as well before the segment is over. sean, i want to start with you, what is your takeaway yesterday? we knew the way the would go, but when we look how it all unfolded what is your takeaway? >> pete, this is a distraction right, from the policies, democrats implement through the executive orders that people don't like. biden has open orders. he has a china first policy. he has this green new deal. he doesn't want to talk about the men and women in wisconsin, minnesota, that lot of their jobs in the keystone pipeline. they can't support their families. they want to talk about donald trump. not only that, pete, they're raising millions of dollars off donald trump and in impeachment. they will need million millions of dollars to go back home to defend the seats with the policies that americans don't like. i don't think this is going away. you will see at an attempt at 14th amendment. they continue to talk about donald trump. he is the best foil for horrible policies fro

that is why the west is terrified for the presence of cat duffy the. the recent developments we all had, what the assistant secretary of state of the u. s. said that they would refuse to deal with any libya headed by separate as, as if the destiny and future of libya should be decided by washington and the state of the very people in the country. as for general, half the libyan political figures, they have their own authoritarian dreams and they try to arrange their moves and their political maneuvers with foreign power is because they came to libya and the very 1st place with the aid of foreign powers. i think, i believe only if it is the one who stands tall on the shoulders of the libyan people themselves. not on bombs and rockets and military bases foreign, military bases. yes, there are rumors that half star is sending troops to the chad to border. i think you're referring that to us is instant acting. assistant secretary said joe hood, he said the whole world has a problem would say, well, his last good obvious candidacy for the elections, whoever

duffy? >> commissioners, joe duffy, d.b.i. so i -- you know, from what i'm hearing, i mean, it's a tricky one, as well. even if we ended up, the board of appeals handled this, what happens with the suspension from planning? if d.b.i. found out that this permit was reviewed and issued in error, we have the right to revoke that permit, as well. i just don't know the extent of the violations or the corrections that would need to be made. i would love to see the plans that goes submitted and what were approved. let me get back to you, but we've been on this 2.5 hours already this evening. >> president honda: we only have one case, you know that? >> i know, but it's definitely -- conditioning it, i don't know what we would end up conditioning. i don't know what we approved and what is really out there, and then, obviously, you've got planning, as well, coming in for their requirements. >> president honda: thank you. does that answer your question, commissioner lazarus? >> commissioner lazarus: yes. thank you very much. >> president

if it is, let me get duffy. he chose to wear the clothes that his father wore. 10 years ago, when he gave his infamous babbling to see the speech, when he threatened to exterminate the population of been, does he this is not, amanda has changed. it's amanda has let the tricks of performance. this is also someone understands ruled by one man and ruled by tried. that is not something that lydia haven't seen before. libyans have lived experience that for many, many years. you can certainly find friends around the corner in some ways only as now. and i'm sure you'll find friends that once i adopt that tribal closing, or that once a hawk back to the era. but today, libya needs a consensus figure some of the ones that turn that chapter over and we're in the, the clothes that your father wore when you threatens the libyan population is not something that indicates you're a consensus figure that indicates your device to figure that will finish with this . it's the mother of all ironies that today separate as i'm is tryi

joe duffy. this project has been on our radar for quite a while you know, demolition is a big word to be used in san francisco because it is definitely beyond the permit, but when you use the term illegal demolition, people kind of freak out that it is the whole building. there was demolition involved, obviously, from mr. sanchez' comments there, and i don't think that was gathered originally as part of the violation, but i think they can clean it up, and it is very similar to duncan, where they're living in it now. now they've got to take care of it with regard to permits, and as we go, we're finding out a little bit more. they've got to start and make sure they get everything covered once and for all so that they've got what they need to bring it to, you know, d.b.i. planning and the board of appeals, obviously, with the neighbors upset with the works that was done. d.b.i. have brought it as far as we can, which unless we submit it to the city's attorney office, they're not going to take it be

gerry: i'm back with miranda divine and sean duffy. we had disappointing jobs numbers on friday and we are back from the summer break this week. is the economy headed for another rest period because of the covid restrictions and vaccination requirements? >> let's be clear economists expected 300,000 to 1 million new jobs created in august and there were only 235. i think what is weighing on this is covid in the delta variant but also you have 10 million jobs available right now but you have this 235,000 number. what's happening is we have too many people staying home. we have enhanced unemployment benefits and food stamp payouts and we have done rental forgiveness. so you have this government supporting people to not go back to work which is not creating jobs so i think we are going to have several months left and if biden pays attention to this -- these policies never worked for job growth. gerry: president biden promised a peaceful withdrawal from afghanistan and promised the country would heal and come together and nothing is going
