our experience. i'm here to express concern and request for the denial. of the application. as a resident of the building i experienced the noise violations for years. why is everyone looking at each other. pause and allow him to translate. >> public comment. i'm not sure. i think it would be. >> may be. i can pause your time on it don't worry on that and give the translator. pause and go. >> perfect. >> great. >> thank you. just in general had you are being translated it helps to talk slowly but we than you got a time constraint. we will balance. >> accessible. >> du get what i got down?

>> we measure today above 75db.

3 floors boost restaurant. multiple times and filed complaint and there has been no action by the city we have begin up. no change from the owners. although i believe they have transferred ownership. still no change. and it got worse over time.

during summer you have to keep windows open. ear plug don't do anything. bass is loud. i'm not only here concerned about myself and i know i can move i'm in a low income facility neighborhood. and i'm concerned people are not here i don't see my neighbors here they know. i think they are scared to speak up. i know i can remove myself. i don't think they can.

which i will move out if this passes. i did hear them say that it is friday and saturday night. it is already they have been in noise violations the entire two years and to push it to 2 a.m. is absurd the amount of disrespect they know there is 80 year olds living above them. i would never let my grand mother go through this and my mother who is low income would not let her child live above this.

i want to naengz i work in the entertainment industry. i'm a general manager of 60 employees and 15 of them are aware of the restaurant i live above. witness they found out, it has been jokes about me going home on friday and saturday. i know it is important i really enjoyed listening to the business development plan and the statistics. i live and w in that world exit don't want to say anything against a business that is trying to make money. but, the disregard is -- obscene.

anymore comments on this item. one in the odd upon yens. helloive well in the building next door to the restaurant applying for the perimism i lived in the building for 5-6iers and applaud my neighbor for speaking up it puts in a vulnerable position. there are others in the building my buildingmented to be here but in have young -- okay. pause for translation. >> okay.

. the business have not been great neighbors years venders and custody merits blocked my driveway preventing mow from entering and late to class or work. this causes me great uncomfortableability and risk to my safety i have to come by myself in front of the restaurant and ask them to change or fix the situation. and i have been harassed by business owner. he has taunt exclude tormented mow. screamed at mow on the street cleaning the neighborhood. called me an idiot and stupid for want to keep the street clean. i need to translate. sorry.

they were not good neighbor and did not follow the parklet building code they build the parklet learning and up passed the maximum view i could not drive out of my driveway. even after a car blew through the dining parklet you think they would good to code they did worse and drill in the the sdproet deposit alloy for the

drain to happen during the rain. accidents should not be rewarded when operating without regard it luand operate against the city policy. the parklet was rotting the city had to take it down they did not do it themselves and they were found to be drilling in the street.

residents of the work class block deserve good neighbors who report neighborhood we have autoshops in the street many work mull pull j.w.s to live here. i have early morning work on saturdays at a metal factory andlet because of the biohazzard from the late night drinkers or empty glass bottles or urine. the noises from the restaurant is loud. the front door is wide xoep well is you hear specific songs. no sound buffer and

conversations with the owner i left belittled. i'm speaking up about my experience and don't set a

precedent by allowing them to get another permit while disregarding the laws. thank you. more public comment. another one? hello i'm brendzen i lived in the building next door for 7 years. there are issues consistent low on weekends.

>> i never complained before i did not know there was an entertainment commission until we got letter in the mail asking to install the karaoke system. i lived there 7 years. two weekends times 50 weeks i heard it 650 or 700 times. when i got the letter i replied.

from my apartment i measured the sound inside at 85 decibels. it is so throughed causes windows to shake and usually goes on until 12-1 a.m.

i live on the bottom there is a light well between the two buildings where sounds travels and ecose up. if i look down i see in the

bedrooms and they don't have windows they have metal graets open all the time the sound come striet through and hits a window. in is a problem i work the city college 20 hours a week in the construction cabinetry training programs. so on the weekends i go there get up at 6. because class starts at and a the whole day long that's when people in construction can tribe get skills is the weekends.

so, if the music does not stop until 2 a.m. i get 4 hours of slope. and i have to go in an environment where it is important like in monitor people's safety for the day i have to be alert.

i'm a handy person i did a lot of property management around our building for the other tenants. by keeping sidewalks clean. taking trash out it is a weekly occurrence well is food or thrown down or a broken bottle or urine alzheimer on the garage door, which causes the rollers to corrode to the point we had to replace the garage door. and there are kids in our building they leave in the morning and walk under the pee dripping on them. i get up early and see fineed to hose it off and clean the space before they go to school.

work with them of this evening we have one person in zoom. michael gallagher i will bring you in. if you hear, unmute, speak slowly and take pauses for the translator. thank you. >> thank you. can you hear me. >> i can. >> thanks. i am the a neighbor owner of one of the units next door 330 south van ness. and the noise issue are very

real and concerning others have spoken to them. i would say that -- it is encouraging that the restaurant would like to be legal and persh mitted. and comply with the rules. and i would i don't know went [inaudible]. of the entertainment commission. to somehow require a will meeting process between the neighbor and it is restaurant.

thank you, i heard that. and you gift concern is that

because there have been discussions in the past. without responsiveness. what -- i think if we we are optimistic, that there will be mitigation plans. i like if it is within your remit. to have us come back. after it processes that includes what we will ask for is to know the budget for theirarctivities. is it adequate or understood. and -- if the noise levels are high after the mitigation what more can be doneful

>> thank you. i knowledge you get the jist of it has been a long time problem complaints have not really produced changes of but -- since they are -- saying that they will work with us, i don't think

we can take sept words. if there is a process with the budget and testing. of noise levels. that could be a way forward. thank you.

no more public comment. all right. >> close public comment. i want to i will kick it autopsy here. first, i want to talk to the neighbors who are listening. so, so you have an understanding what the entertainment commission does and is, we are created 20 years ago because the police in almost every city in the world not just the u.s., are the main mitt ~igator~ for sound issues wauz evercaused by night life in neighbors. . i have to pause.

>> okay. thank you. so00 autopolice are very busy and have many other things going on. it would not supervisor you to learn they are not anywhere mitigating sound, why we were created. the wear we work is when you have a permit held by us, we have our own ennorsers in the needs. who are out regularly inspecting businesses based on noise done by 311.

>> the ability to run a muck when in fact over and over and over gwen for 20 years we actually are a force that helps

neighbors in many case. a number than i can call and have somebody respond in real time on the weekend to address issues. >> that said, i don't feel ready yet to vote this agenda item. and i believe we should ask for a continuance and the reason is that the permit holder did a job of sending out a mailer to the neighbors. but it seems they have not yet didn't out reach required which to me is finding a way we can

facilitate with our office for them to community with one another and the issues and come up with concrete solutions before we issue the perimism i

would like a motion we continue to a future entertainment commission hear and ask that it is as soon as we are able. in the meantime, i would ask that our office helps to connect the neighbors with the permit holdtory get more on the same page. and i agree with the caller the final caller that we should address this with a sense of optimism going forward. >> second.

the hours for live music are not only disruptive infringe on rights as a drentszs to enjoy our homes without noise intrusion. according to san francisco ordinance 29 business to create noise disturbed the peace and quiet of a neighboring or

person. this plan of live music threatens the community. we urge local authorities, you, and the stake holders to consider this decision. we need our sfopt maintain north beach a comfortable living environment for all residents. i like to add that front cisco street is quiet. no other baros it. going east up the hill toward telegraph or russian hill. sound from sweeties is archified bouncing off the building enterses in my building through the backside. you hear it through that. my concern not only az a property owner for my 10 acts is

for their well being and as a property owner that i'm concerned about in the future able to rent my property and it not compromised because of the noise i have lost tenant in the past because of the noise from sweetys in the pachlt i urge you not to guarantee this pel position and thank you very much. >> thank you. anymore public comment? nope. >> i have questions for the applicant again i'm confused.

[♪♪♪] >> i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career. i took a seven year break. and then i came back. i worked in the library for a long time. when i started working the san francisco history centre, i noticed they had the hippie collection. i thought, if they have a hippie collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. so i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. she was very interested. one of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the avengers collection. this is definitely a valuable poster.

because it is petty bone. it has that weird look because it was framed. it had something acid on it and something not acid framing it. we had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. it wasn't a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area of punk. we have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and that. that i could donate myself. from they're, i decided, you know, why not pursue other people and other bands and get them to donate as well? the historic moments in san francisco, punk history, is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland. [♪♪♪] it brought all of the punks on the web -- west coast to san francisco to see this show. the sex pistols played the east coast and then they play texas and a few places in the south and then they came directly to san francisco. they skipped l.a. and they

skipped most of the media centres. san francisco was really the biggest show for them pick it was their biggest show ever. their tour manager was interested in managing the adventures, my band. we were asked to open to support the pistols way to that show. and the nuns were also asked to open the show. it was certainly the biggest crowd that we had ever played to. it was kind of terrifying but it did bring people all the way from vancouver, tee seattle, portland, san diego, all up and down the coast, and l.a., obviously. to san francisco to see this show. there are a lot of people who say that after they saw this show they thought they would start their own band. it was a great jumping off point for a lot of west coast punk. it was also, the pistols' last show. in a way, it was the end of one era of punk and the beginning of a new one. the city of san francisco didn't necessarily support punk rock.

[♪♪♪] >> last, but certainly not least is a jell-o be opera. they are the punk rock candidate of the lead singer called the dead kennedys. >> if we are blaming anybody in san francisco, we will just blame the dead kennedys. >> there you go. >> we had situations where concerts were cancelled due to flyers, obscene flyers that the city was thought -- that he thought was obscene that had been put up. the city of san francisco has come around to embrace it's musicians. when they have the centennial for city hall, they brought in all kinds of local musicians and i got to perform at that. that was, at -- in a way, and appreciation from the city of san francisco for the musical legends. i feel like a lot of people in san francisco don't realize what resources there are at the

library. we had a film series, the s.f. punk film series that i put together. it was nearly sold out every single night. people were so appreciative that someone was bringing this for them. it is free. everything in the library is free. >> it it is also a film producer who has a film coming out. maybe in 2018 about crime. what is the title of it? >> it is called san francisco first and only rock 'n' roll movie. crime, 1978. [laughter] >> when i first went to the art institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going to be a painter. i did not know i would turn into a punk singer. i got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. one of the things about this job here is i discovered some great resources for images for my painting. i was looking through these mug shot books that we have here

that are from the 1920s. i did a whole series of a mug shot paintings from those books. they are in the san francisco history centre's s.f. police department records. there are so many different things that the library provides for san franciscans that i feel like a lot of people are like, oh, i don't have a library card. i've never been there. they need to come down and check it out and find out what we have. the people who are hiding stuff in their sellers and wondering what to do with these old photos or old junk, whether it is hippie stuff or punk stuff, or stuff from their grandparents, if they bring it here to us, we can preserve it and archive it and make it available to the public in the future.

>> good afternoon everybody i'm chair of the board of directors of sfmta. we are here to mark a very meaningful mild stone, the ten-year anniversary of san francisco's adoption of vision zero. i want to acknowledge that vision zero is an extremely emotional topic. imagine some of you are feeling a sense of rage and you're looking for somebody to glaim. others may be feeling powerless, shaken, heartbroken, that is al
