Thanks for coming in today. 2003, i walked into sfha office with [indiscernible] [difficulty hearing speaker] thats okay, take your time. 2022 after surgery in 2019. [indiscernible] [difficulty hearing speaker] absolutely. Absolutely. Thank you for coming. I want you to see mrs. Crawford in the back here. Who is coming right now, and shell come and help. Please, you come. Hello. Good afternoon. My name is david woods and i am a resident of a Apartment Building that is managed by tndc, and they are actually a lot of violations the management continues to do. Which building . 939 eddie street is where i live. They manage both 939 eddie and the building next door which is 951 eddie. They also manage rosa parks and 430 turk. Anyway, there is a lot of violations they continue to do for one. They manage the people and not the building. They dont manage the building, they manage the people and there is a door, a side door next to the garage that has been bolted for several months until just recently when i called the Fire Department and they apparently unbolted it, and we felt that was a hazard if there was a fire or something, somebody need to get out and it has been bolted several months. The tenants have been blamed for wear, disrespectful to the tenants and no confidentiality of the tenants. I was sitting on the steps next door and the maintenance supervisor had me to move and then a month later i was setting on the same steps and the property manager asked me what i was doing and said i was tress passing. I lived at 939 eddie since [indiscernible] no one said anything to me about it until the current management and i feel i have done nothing wrong by doing that. I feel i should get a letter of apology from them and i havent. Also back in april just refresh, this is for 939 eddie, correct . Yes. Great. Thank you. Also in april i had knocked on the building supervisors door. I wasi didnt any he lived there, but he was asking what i was doing there and i wasnt supposed to be in the building and was in violation and this and that and he said he felt like dwr was stalking him. Nobody said anything about us going into building next door, nobody but him, these people and again, i should get a letter of apology for that. I havent. Dont feel its right. Residents were locked out one weekend for a whole weekend. The maintenance supervisor was leaving and he was going home. I approached him and told him about it and he said he didnt care and was leaving and wasnt on duty. Whatthank you for coming today. Well follow up with Property Management for that building in particular at 939 eddie street which we have written down both of us and follow up with them. Is there a Resident Council at your building . There is a president. We have a president. But hes ineffective. Understood. Understood. Alright. Okay. Great. Well follow up on that and if you want to leave your name and Contact Information well follow up with you directly. Yes, please do. I want to do that. Bennett will come over right now. Thank you so much. Youre president of the Housing Commission . Uhhuh. Okay. Thank you sir. Im joaquin torres. Alright. Mr. Chair and commissioners, happy black History Month. [indiscernible] a secretary for jones unit ed methodist church. That is what she brought to the church so we said we would try to help her and we figured this may be one way to help her, so now she can go back to church and tell them i tried to help her. Making me look bad. Thank you very much. Also newly elected to the city wide senior disabled council from the John F Kennedy towers, 2451 sacramento street. Im the vice president. Former president of north beach Public Housing. You may be familiar with the rebuild, north beach place. North beach Public Housing along with your great mayor and supervisors. Want to put together a [indiscernible] satisfactory to all residents. We moved to John F Kennedy towers where i became the president and brought skills up there to get that community going. What i hope to do is work with you like we used to work with Housing Authority. Dr. Shelly [indiscernible] was ins separational starting a resident relations council. What this council did is handle situations that you dont need to handle. In other words, you have the city wide Senior Council organization whos responsibility is to assist residents from the associations. They actually met at city hall and sat where you sat. The associations could get a taste what it really feels like to be in the hot seat, so i hope you do revisit that and we can solve a lot of problems with training. [indiscernible] and come back with some results. I just look forward to working to make the clean safe and sanitary conditions that you know we all need and help keep San Franciscos Public Housing for seniors moving forward in a good direction. Thank you so much. We can go for Public Comment for ann, if you dont mind coming up to the podium . Is there a microphone im supposed to use . You can stand there and it will pick up your voice. Can i sit down . Absolutely, have a seat. I have a letter, four copies of the same letter for the board. Thank you. So, im ann macrelli. The issues are in the letter, but ill give background context if i may. Hope i dont start crying, bought i do that randomly for no reason. I won the lotterySan Mateo County for section 8 and at the time i was living in the city of San Francisco. Go ahead, take your time. Youre in a safe space here, so please this is nothing [indiscernible] i was living in San Francisco applying for Social Security and i won the lottery in San Mateo County section 8 and [indiscernible] because i was represented by a attorney for Social Security and so i [indiscernible] but San Francisco continued bill san maw mateo county. Because i was disabled i was found disabled by Social Security by a federal judge, your section 8 remains valid with us as long as you are disabled, but i found out beginning ofend of two years, end of 2022, they had arranged with the Housing Authority to absorb my vourcher and i have been writing to the Housing Authority all most a year, completely unresponsive. I wanted to confirm San Mateo County tell s me, that my vourcher has been absorbed and i have a vourcher with no time limit just like section 8. But the Housing Authority wont conform this. All your contact is on that piece of paper . Okay, great. You will be getting a response and we will follow from today and make sure you do, okay . Please. I need to know. I dont know if they are doing this to everyone or just me. Neither one is acceptable as far as im concerned. Thats right. San mateo county Housing Authority is nothing like this. Every time i contact them they respond to me. I sent emails to the address mentioned at the beginning of the meeting, board of commissioners, email address, i never receive a reply from that either. Okay. Nothing else i can do. [indiscernible] twice earlier last year. The only time i got a response from Housing Authority is after i went to the board. Well, i appreciate you coming in. Sorry you had to be inconvenienced but well make sure we follow up, alright . Thank you very much. Next Public Comment is for henry moreno. I put this petition together for the jfk residents and this address was a dogs behavior. Growling and barking and unaccompanied presence in common area is a growing concern. This behavior creates a ongoing disturbance and raise safety concerns, especially those with physical limitations and anxiety. [indiscernible] is on our floor without a leash and he came out of the garbage area or elevator area and literally attacked us. My dog is a very small dog. It is a puppy actually, and i called him to get away and put my foot in front of it, and kept his distance, but the idea that this is not the only incident that happened. The dog has gone into peoples houses and fighting workers that come andsomebody else will explain that. He nipped people. I went out for a half hour and had this petition signed by two pagesa page and i got another signature, but people have said that the dog ishas been verythe dog and the owner have been very rude. People have said the dog has knocked them down. I think this dog needs to be on a leash. The person that owns the dog is calledher name is susan amble and shes really cavalier about the dogs presence and being loose on the floor. I believe it should have a lease and muzzle. Its way outit should only be 25 pounds. I think is 55, 60 pounds. It is a large aussy and if you can be off the leash it should be a small designated area by her house where he could be off the leash, not the entire floor. Okay. Alright. And you have given us copies of the petition . Yes. Great. Thank you very very much. What well do is following up with Property Management, having discussions about the petition shared and your Contact Information is on this as well so we can work with you . Yes. As well as your fellow residents over here . Ill give them a copy. Thank you very much. Thank you for coming in today and sharing. My pleasure. Next Public Comment is scott boner. Come up and get as close as you can and the microphone will and should pick it up. My name is francis hardwick. How you doing . Im a resident of 1750 mcallister street and member of the board of ccfd and that i have a file a complaint with your commission. We have a elgivator problem in our building. It is serious. People got stuck in the first elevator and the company that is contacted by the city of San Francisco apparently are not doing a very good job fixing the elevators. Okay. This is the third time this happened last month in a half. Im with my apartment complex is in the homerise company, which used to be called Community Housing partnership. There seems to be a problem with the Elevator Company. Every time they come out they charge outrageously high prices to fix the elevator and really dont do a proper job to make sure the elevators are up and running, and stuff like that. I wanted to bring that to your attention. Thank you. Yeah. My apartment has not been called yet, but we are in the process of maybeill be in the process of calling them is and let them know. Okay, great. Well do similar to this, well work with Property Management. 1750 mcallister, correct . Correct. And we will work with the Elevator Company and have conversations. He might be overcharging homerise. Well take a look. You want this . Yes, please. There you go. Thank you bennett. There you go. Thank you very much for coming in today. No problem. Thank you. Scott boner. Hi. My name is scott boner a tenant at jfk towers next to henry in fact. Im here with the same complaint about the tenant in apartment 1109. I have been in the Building Three years now and [indiscernible] since the beginning. In the beginning she was very friendly and all a sudden she just turned nastly, really nasty, and shes been like that. You say she is nuisance to others on the floor. Somehow she thinks she is responsible for the garbage and recycling. There was one time a couple weeks ago she barged into my door with some cardboard left by the recycling complaining i wasnt doing a good job at recycling. There was time with her dogs problems with her dog is ongoing. She again barged into my door with the dog hysterically saying that if i got to know the dog then i would like him. In both cases i pushed her out, but it is just really disturbing to have this going on. One time i was in front of my apartment in a chair, and the dog who is never on a leash came running down the hall, charged at me barking and i had to run into my apartment for safety. I was really upset by this because i should be able to sit on the balcony of my own apartment outside and feel safe. This woman has no respect for other people. No consideration at all. We had our first Tenant Association meeting, she was there with her dog. Her dog was barking and chasing people and she expected everybody else to put up with that. She claimed it was a Service Animal, which i really doubt. There is no way any animal could be a Service Animal and that uncontrolled and undisciplined. It is just a real nuisance. It has been going on since i moved in three years ago. I put in several paper complaints. Nothing happened. Been doing emails because it is more convenient to send them in. They said something would be done, but i would like to know if something is going to be done. The dog should be on a muzzle on a leash and frankly i think the owner needs Mental Health. Scott, thank you very much for coming in today. Everyone who came from jfk towers to share this with us. I appreciate you taking the time and making us aware. Thank you. Thank you. Scott, what breed of dog is it . What breed of dog . An aussy, like a aussyokay. Usually used on cattle ranches. Yeah. Black and brown . White and . Okay, got it. Alright. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
