II. The Fire Department's findings at the property and State and local law direct that relocation
benefits be paid at the expense of the property owner.
SFFD inspections at the property uncovered no facts to suggest that any tenants caused or _
contributed to the code violations that precipated the abatement order, order to vacate, and/or RBD.
Rather the building appears to have been altered without permits to create unlawful residential units
that were rented to the tenants in their present condition. See Declaration of Daniel de Cossio ("de
Cossio Deel."), para. 9.

SFFD directed its administrative notices and orders issued regarding this property to its owner
along with its master tenant in compliance with California and San Francisco laws. State and local law
both designate the building owner as the entity responsible for code violations, abatement, and
relocation benefits payments. Health & Safety Code § 17975, regarding Tenant Relocation Assistance,
entitles tenants that the local enforcement agency deems eligible "to receive relocation benefits from
the owner." San Francisco Fire Code Section 109.2 states in part that "the person responsible for a
violation that pertains to a building, occupancy, premises, system, or vehicle is the owner ofilie
building, occupancy, premises, system, or vehicle.'' The RBD thus orders the property owner, Ms.
Rodriguez, or responsible agent, to make timely payment to eligible tenants. SFFD is not a position to
adjudicate which party is ultimately responsible for the life-threatening conditions at the property, and
would defer to a court order deeming another party responsible for compliance with SFFD' s orders and
relocation benefits payments, and ordering such party to compensate the owner.

In the meantime, Health & Safety Code Sections 17975 et seq. code requires prompt payment
of relocation benefits to eligible residential tenants at the expense of the owner or designated agent.
The property owner has, to date, failed to fulfill this requirement. Under Section 17975:1, where, as
here, there are fewer than 10 days between the first posting and mailing of the order to vacate and the
vacation date, "relocation benefits shall be paid by the owner or designated agent to the tenant[s]
within 24 hours after the notice is posted and mailed."

Further, SFFD maintains that, in addition to the payment amount ordered in the RBD, the
property owner must pay a penalty to each eligible tenant as mandated by Section 17975.3(a): "Any
owner or designated agent who does not make timely payment as specified in Section 17975 .1 shall be
liable to the tenant for an amount equal to 1 Yi times the relocation benefits payable pursuant to Section
17975.2.''

III. The relocation benefit amount owed to each eligible tenant as stated in the RBD was
calculated in accordance with federal and State law and applicable guidelines.
The RBD entitles each eligible tenant to a relocation benefit payment calculated in accordance
with Health & Safety Code Section 17975.2. Section 17975.2 instructs that the relocation benefit

Division of Fire Prevention & Investigation Daniel de Cossio, Fire Marshal

?Jllount an owner must pay to tenants deemed eligible by the local enforcement agency be calculated as
follows:

The relocation payment shall be made available by the owner or designated agent to
the tenant in each residential unit and shall be a sum equal to two months of the
established fair market rent for the area as determined by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development pursuant to Section 1437f of Title 42 of the United States
Code. In addition, the relocation payment shall include an amount, as determined by
the local enforcement agency, sufficient for utility service deposits. The relocation
benefits shall be paid by the owner or designated agent in addition to the return, as
required by law, of any security deposits held by the owner. The relocation benefits
shall be payable on a per residential unit basis.

SFFD maintains that the fiscal year 2018 Department of Housing and Urban
Development {"HUD") fair market rate {"FMR") figure for a San Francisco "efficiency unit"
that is posted on the HUD official website pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Section 1437fis the most
appropriate benchmark FMR figure for the RBD. See de Cossio Deel., paras. 12-14, Exh. E.
As noted in the RBD, this figure is $2,014 per month. See de Cossio Deel., Exh. D.

"Efficiency unit" is the smallest type of unit for which HUD provides a FMR under
Section 1437£ No applicable statutes, regulations, or guidance mention single-room
occupancies ("SROs"), let alone provide a FMR figure for such a type of residential unit. The
most reasonable reading ofHUD's FMR figures published on its website under Section 1437f
is that "efficiency unit" includes "SROs." The owner's appeal provides no information or
citations to suggest otherwise. To SFFD's knowslege, federal law does not define "efficiency
unit," and state law does not require that such a unit includes its own kitchen andfor bath
facilities. See de Cossio Deel., paras. 11-13, Exh. E. The FMR for the unlawful single-room
residential units at the property was thus correctly calculated, at $4,028 per unit for two
months' rent. ,
SFFD also maintains that $432 is an appropriate "amount sufficient for utility service deposits"
for two months of service under Section 17975.2. See de Cossio Deel, paras. 14-17, Exhs. F-H. This
determination involved reference to information published by San Francisco's Public Utilities
Commission for electricity and water services. Id

IV. Conclusion
In closing, based on the findings of the SFFD, the Office of the San Francisco Fire Marshal
determined that the existing condition of the property poses imminent and extreme risk to the
occupants, and for this reason and pursuant to authority of this office under State and local law, SFFD
issued an order of abatement and order to vacate: In compliance with State law, these orders were
accompanied by a relocation benefits determination entitling eligible tenants to relocation assistance

DECLARATION OF DANIEL DE COSSIO IN SUPPORT OF SAN FRANCISCO FIRE
DEPARTMENT RESPONSE TO ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL OF RELOCATION
BENEFITS DETERMINATION REGARDING 2966 24TH STREET
I, Daniel de Cossio, declare as follows:
1. I am the appointed Fire Marshal and Assistant Deputy Chief of Fire Prevention and

Investigation in the San Francisco Fire Department. I have served as a member of the San Francisco

Fire Department since 1991, and was appointed to my present post in 2015. I issued the Relocation

Benefits Detennination is at issue in this matter. I have personal knowledge of the matters stated

below, except those stated on information and belief, which I believe to be true.

2. California Fire Code Section 1.11.2 delegates responsibility for the enforcement of

building standards adopted by the State Fire Marshal and published in the California Bliilding

Standards Code relating to fire and panic safety and other regulations of the State Fire Marshal.

Section 1.11.2.1.1 directs in relevant part that "[t]he chief of any city or county fire department or of

any fire protection district, and authorized representatives, shall enforce within the jurisdiction the

building standards and other regulations of the State Fire Marshal." As the Fire Marshal, I am a

representative authorized by the Chief of the San Francisco Fire Department to carry out this

enforcement responsibility. I am also San Francisco's designated fire code official as referenced in

State and local law. My responsibilities include overseeing the inspection of properties in San

Francisco for compliance with fire code provisions as enacted in State and local laws, and pursuing

enforcement of these code provisions. ·

3. After inspecting the building located at 2966 24th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110,

Block/Lot 4206/017, San Francisco Fire Department Inspector Theodora S. Reilly issued Notice of

Violation #1708-0164, addressed to the Property Owner/Occupant/Responsible Party on September

14, 2017. A true and correct copy of this notice of violation is attached hereto as Exhibit.A. On

October 5, 2017, the Fire Department conducted an administrative abatement hearing regarding the

cited code violations at this property pursuant to San Francisco Fire Code Section 109.4.3(f).

4. Based on the findings from the October 5 hearing and pursuant to my enforcement

responsibility under the California Fire Code and the procedures outlined in the San Francisco Fire

1
DECL. DE COSSIO ISO RESPONSE TO RELOCATION BENEFIT DECISION
APPEAL- 2966 24TH STREET
Code Section 109.4.3(g), on October 6, 20i 7, I issued an administrative order directing that the owner·

and parties responsible for abatement abate the cited fire code violations at 2966 24th Street. A true

and correct copy of this order is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Based on my determination that the

cited code violations endangered the immediate health and safetY of the residents of the building, I

issued an accompanying order to vacate the portions of the building being used as residences pending

abatement of the cited code violations, with the required abatement work being major, such as the

construction of additional exits in the bililding. A true and correct copy of this order is attached

hereto as Exhibit C.

5. California Health and Safety Code Article 2.5 regarding Tenant Relocation Assistance,

contained at Sections 17975 et seq., instructs as follows:


Any tenant who is displaced or subject to displacement from a residential rental
unit as a result of an order to vacate or an order requiring the vacation of a
residential unit by a local enforcement agency as a result of a violation so
extensive and of such a nature that the immediate health and safety of the
residents is endangered, shall be entitled to receive relocation benefits from the
owner as specified in this article. The local enforcement agency shall determine
the eligibility of tenants for benefits pursuant to this article.

Cal. Health & Safety Code § 17975.

6. The San Francisco Fire Department is the "local enforcement agency'' for purposes of

enforcing these provisions of the California I-Jealth and Safety Code.

7. Per San Francisco Administrative Code Sections 41.4(n), (q), and the Rent Board Rules

and Regulations at Section 1.17, a guest room occupied by a person for at least 32 consecutive days

qualifies as a residential rental unit.

8. As required by Health and Safety Code Sections 17975 et seq., on October 6, 2017, I

issued a determination regarding the eligibility of the tenants of the building located 2966 24th Street

for relocation benefits as specified in Article 2.5. A true and correct copy of this order is attached

hereto as Exhibit D. I determined that the tenants are eligible for relocation benefits. This

determination was based on my conclusion that the code violations at the building endangered the

tenants' immediate health and safety.

2
DECL. DE COSSIO ISO RESPONSE TO RELOCATION BENEFIT DECISION
APPEAL - 2966 24TH STREET
9. In addition, Fire Department inspections at the property gave me no reason to believe

that any tenant, tenant guest, or tenant invitee caused or substantially contributed to the code violations

that gave rise to the abatement order and order to vacate. Rather, conditions that SFFD personnel

noted at the building lead me to believe that the building was altered without permits to create

unlawful residential units that were rented to the tenants in their present condition. San Francisco Fire

Code Section I 09.2 states in part that "the person responsible for a violation that pertains to a building,

occupancy, premises, system, or vehicle is the owner of the building, occupancy, premises, system, or

vehicle." In addition, as quoted above, Health & Safety Code § 17975 entitles tenants that the local

enforcement agency deems eligible "to receive relocation benefits from the owner." In accordance

with Fire Department findings and these laws, my written Relocation Benefits Determination directs

that the owner of 2966 24th Street and/or designated agent and/or persons responsible make the

required payments to eligible tenants within 24 hours of the order's posting and mailing.

10. Health & Safety Code § 17975.2 instructs that the relocation benefit amount an owner

must pay to tenants deemed eligible by the local enforcement agency be calculated as follows:
The relocation payment shall be made available by the owner or designated
agent to the tenant in each residential unit and shall be a sum equal to two
months of the established fair market rent for the area as determined by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Section 1437f of
Title 42 of the United States Code. In addition, the relocation payment shall
include an amount, as determined by the local enforcement agency, sufficient
for utility service deposits. The relocation benefits shall be paid by the owner or
designated agent in addition to the return, as required by law, of any security
deposits held by the owner. The relocation benefits shall be payable on a per
residential unit basis. ·

11. The Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") FY 2018 Fair Market

Rent Documentation System, available at https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/fmr.html, provides

fair market rates by unit bedrooms for efficiency, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and

four-bedroom units. It lists the FY 2018 fair market rate for an efficiency unit bedroom in San

Francisco. at $2,014 per month. A true and correct copy of this web page is attached hereto as

ExhibitE.

12. In accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17975.2, I determined that eligible

tenants of the residential units unlawfully constructed at 2966 24th Street are entitled to two months'
3
DECL. DE COSSIO ISO RESPONSE TO RELOCATION BENEFIT DECISION
APPEAL- 2966 24TH STREET
fair market rate rent for efficiency units under the HUD system. The 27 unlawfully constructed units

SFFD found at the building were single rooms containing beds, dressers and television sets.

According to SFFD's noted findings, only one of these rooms had a rescue window and the rooms

shared a single kitchen located on the building's mezzanine level.

13. 42 U.S.C. § 1437f and associated FMR guidelines do not define "efficiency unif' or

"efficiency dwelling unit," and make no reference to "single-room occupancy" units or "SROs." The

California Building Code 2016 Edition Chapter 2 defines "efficiency dwelling unit" as "[a] dwelling

unit containing only one habitable room and includes an efficiency unit as defined in Health and

Safety Code Section 17958.1." Health and Safety Code Section 17958.l allows municipalities to

permit units with two-person maximum occupancy and minimum 150 square feet of floor area as

efficiency units. Neither provision requires an efficiency unit to contain a kitchen or bathroom.

14. According to information from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission

("SFPUC") posted on its website, available at https://sfwater.org/index.aspx?page=806, to start a new

electricity service for a residential customer, SFPUC "may need a deposit of about double your

estimated electricity charges (at least $100)." A true and correct copy of this web page is attached

hereto as Exhibit F.

15. In addition, the SFPUC Electric Service Rates page, available at


1
https://sfwater.org/index.aspx?page=811, under Schedule R-l Single-Family and Multi-Family

Electric Service within the City and County of San Francisco, provides that there is a monthly service

charge per account of $3.60, plus a specified rate per kWh that varies with number of kWh used that

month. For Low Income Residential Electricity Service, this page specifies a Monthly Service Charge

per account of$2.52, plus a specified rate per kWh that varies with number of kWh used that month.

A true and correct copy of this web page is attached hereto as Exhibit G. I therefore determined

that a San Francisco resident requires, at minimum, approximately $103 for a single month of

electricity service.

16. According to the SFPUC web page regarding water account services, available at

https://sfwater.org/index.aspx?page=47, to start a new water service for a residential customer, ''there

is a $63.00 fee to establish the account and a deposit is required. The deposit shall be approximately

twice the estimated monthly water and sewer (wastewater) charges, but in no case shall it be less than

$50.00." A true and correct copy of this web page is attached hereto as ~xhibit H. I therefore

determined that a San Francisco resident requires, at minimum, approximately $113 .00 for a single

month of water service. Adding up these amounts for electricity and water services, I determined that

setting up utilities for a residential unit in San Francisco would, at minimum, c9st approximately $216

' · per unit per month.

17. I therefore determined that a sum equal to two months of the estal;>lished fair market

rent for the San Francisco area according to HUD is $4,028, and a sufficient amount for utility service

for this time is, at minimum, $432. I thus determined that Health & Safety Code Section 17975

entitles eligible tenants to $4,460 per unit.

Executed November 20, 2017 at San Francisco, California.

Re: Appeal of the Relocation Benefits Detennination made by the San Francisco Fire
Department, Division of Fire Prevention & Investigation, dated October 6, 2017,
Regarding Notice of Violation No. 1708-0164

Property: 2966 24th Street, San Francisco, CA 94112


Residential Units on Mezzanine and First Level

Appealing Party: Silvia F Rodriguez, as trustee of the William C & Silvia F


Rodriguez Trust, Property Owner

Dear Members of the Relocation Appeals Board:

This office represents Silvia F. Rodriguez, trustee of the William C & Silvia F Rodriguez
Trust (the "Owner"), the owner of the commercial property located at 2966 241h Street. San
Francisco, CA 94112 (the "Property") in connection with the instant appeal.

This appeal arises from the Relocation Benefits Detennination of Daniel de Cossio, Fire
Marshal of the San Francisco Fire Department, Division of Fire Prevention & Investigation, dated
October 6, 2017, which was a consequence of the Fire Marshal's decision, dated October 6, 2017,
following an administrative hearing and an Order to Vacate issued the same day applicable to all
residential units on the mezzanine and first level of the Property. True and correct copies of the
Fire Marshal's Written Decision Following Administrative Hearing Held on October 5, 2017
Regarding Notice of Violation# 1708-0164, the Order to Vacate, and the Relocation Benefits
Determination are attached hereto as Exhibits A, B and C, respectively, for your reference.

Page 1 of6
Relevant Factual Background

On or about July I, 2012, the Owner entered into a commercial lease for the Property with
Francisco Leon Barranco (the ''Master Tenant") for a five (5) year term. A true and correct copy
of the lease is attached hereto as Exhibit D for your reference. The legal use of the Property is for
commercial use. Therefore, pursuant to the tenns of the lease, the Master Tenant agreed to use the
property only for the purpose of carrying on a retail/whole sale business.

Unbeknownst to the Owner, sometime after the Master Tenant entered into possession of
the Property pursuant to the lease he unlawfully converted the Property into a non-permitted
residential occupancy by dividing the space into apparently 27 separate units to be used as sleeping
areas. All construction work involved in converting the use of the Property was completed without
the required permits.

On or about July 14, 20 I 7, the Owner commenced an unlawful detainer action against the
Master Tenant in the San Francisco Superior Court demanding the return of possession of the
Property. The basis for the unlawful detainer action is that the term of the Master Tenant's lease
had expired at midnight on July 1, 2017 and was not renewed by the Owner. A true and correct
copy of the unlawful detainer summons and complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit E for your
reference.

On or about September 14, 2017, Inspector Theodora S. Reilly of the San Francisco Fire
Department, Bur~au of Fire Prevention issued a Notice of Violation (No. 1708-0164) to the Owner
by mail for the Property. A true and correct copy of the Notice of Violation is attached hereto as
Exhibit F for your reference. The Notice of Violation indicated that the following violations of
the 2016 San Francisco Fire Code were found at the Property: Section 105.I.l Illegal Occupancy,
Section 110.1. l Un-safe Conditions, and Section 109.7 Unlawful Acts. See Exhibit F. The Notice
of Violation directed that the violations be corrected within 3 days. See Exhibit F.

As the Master Tenant failed to correct the violations noted in the Notice of Violation within
3 days of the date of the Notice of Violation, Fire Marshal Daniel E. de Cossio ofthe San Francisco
Fire Department, Division of Fire Prevention & Investigation issued a Notice of Administrative
Hearing, dated September 22, 2017, setting the hearing for October 5, 2017. A true and correct
copy of the Notice of Administrative Hearing is attached hereto as Exhibit G.

On October 5, 2017, Monica Deka, of counsel to my office, appeared at the Administrative


Hearing together with the Owner's son, William "Bill" Rodriguez, as well as many of the
residential occupants of the Property. Most tellingly, neither the Master Tenant nor his attorney
appeared at the Administrative Hearing. After hearing evidence from the parties in attendance,
Fire Marshal Daniel E. de Cossio indicated that he was going to issue an order to vacate as the
Property remained in violation of the San Francisco Fire Code that rendered it unsafe for
occupancy and dangerous to human life.

On October 6, 2017, Fire Marshal Daniel E. de Cossio issued a Written Decision Following
Administrative Hearing Regarding Notice of Violation# 1708-0164, an Order to Vacate the
residential units on the mezzanine and first floors of the Property, and the Relocation Benefits
Determination that is the subject of this appeal. See Exhibits A, Band C, respectively.

Grounds for Owner's Appeal

A. The Fire Marshal Failed To Make Consider Whether A Tenant, Tenant's Guest, or
Invitee Caused Or Substantially Contributed To The Condition Giving Rise To The
Order To Vacate When He Issued The Order To Vacate In Violation Of California
Health & Safety Code§ 17975.4(a).

Section 17975.4(a) of the California Health & Safety Code provides as follows:

No relocation benefits pursuant to this article shall be payable to any


tenant who has caused or substantially contributed to the condition
giving rise to the order to vacate, as determined by the local
enforcement agency, nor shall any relocation benefits be payable to
a tenant if any guest or invitee of the tenant has caused or
substantially contributed to the condition giving rise to the order to
vacate, as determined by the local enforcement agency. The local
enforcement agency shall make the determination whether a tenant,
tenant's guest, or invitee caused or substantially contributed to the
condition, giving rise to the order to vacate at the same time that the
order to vacate the tenants is made.

Nowhere in the Fire Marshal's Written Decision Following Administrative Hearing


Regarding Notice of Violation # 1708-0164, Order to Vacate or the Relocation Benefits
Determination does he indicate that he or any Fire Inspector who visited the Property investigated
whether any of the residential occupants of the Property caused or substantially contributed to
conditions that gave rise to the Order to Vacate. As Section I 7975.4(a) of the California Health
& Safety Code requires the Fire Marshal to make such a determination "at the same time that the
order to vacate" is made, the Relocation Benefits Determination should be overturned.

B. The Fire Marshal Improperly Calculated The Relocation Payment Amounts


Pursuant To California Health & Safety Code § 17975.2 By Using HUD's 2018 Fair
Market Rent For An Efficiency Unit in San Francisco As The Sleeping Areas At The
Property Are Not Comparable To Efficiency Units.

California Health & Safety Code § 17975.2 requires that the amount of the relocation
payment due to each residential unit in the premises be in an amount equal to "two months of the

Page 3of6
established fair market rent for the area as determined by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development ["HUD"] pursuant to Section 1737fofTitle 42 of the United States Code."

The Fire Marshal determined that each unlawfully constructed sleeping area in the Property
was a "guest room." As HUD calculates fair market rents only by the number of bedrooms in a
unit, the Fire Marshal found "that the fair market rent for an efficiency unit is the closet [sic]
category to a guest room." HUD's 2018 fair market rent calculation for an efficiency unit in the
San Francisco Metro Area is $2,014 per month. Therefore, the Fire Marshal determined the Owner
is required to pay $4,028 for each ''guest room" at the Property.

"EfficiencyH units fall under the category of "zero-bedroom units," which are defined by
HUD as any residential dwellings where the living areas are not separated from the sleeping area.
See 24 CFR Part 35, § 35.110. Studio apartments and rentals of individual rooms in residential
dwellings also f&ll under the category of"zero-bedroom units.'' See id.

In the instant matter it would be inappropriate to equate the sleeping areas in the Property
to any type of"zero-bedroom unit" as defined by HUD. None of the sleeping areas at the Property
had its own private bathroom or kitchen area, let alone a living area. Upon information and belief,
all residential occupants of the 27 sleeping areas at the Property shared the use of a single kitchen
and one and one-half bathrooms. This living arrangement is more similar to Single-Room
Occupancy Hotels, as far as benefits determination calculations. Therefore, the relocation payment
amount due for each "guest room" at the Property should be calculated using a fair market rent
amount much lower than $2,014 per month and the Relocation Benefits Determination should be
overturned on ·this basis.

C. The Fire Marshal Failed To Provide Sufficient Supporting Facts For His Calculation
Of Utility Service Deposits Included In The Relocation Payment Amounts.

California Health & Safety Code § 17975.2 requires that the amount of the relocation
payment due to each residential unit in the premises "shall include an amount, as detennined by
the local enforcement agency, sufficient for utility service deposits."

The Fire Marshal stated in the Relocation Benefits Determination that "infonnation the
Department received from PG&E and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission indicate that
the amount sufficient for utility service deposits in San Francisco is $432 per unit ($216 x 2
months)." The Fire Marshal failed to indicate what specific information he received from PG&E
and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission which he used in calculating the utility service
deposits amount leaving the Owner unable to verify the accuracy of any such information.
Therefore~ the Relocation Benefits Determination should be overturned.

D. Maxims Of Equity Render It Inequitable To Apply California Health & Safety Code
§ 17975.1 (a), Which Requires An Owner To Pay Relocation Benefits, In The Instant
Matter As The Master Tenant Is The One Who Unlawfully Converted The Use Of
The Property To His Sole Financial Gain.

As discussed above, the Owner leased the entire Property to the Master Tenant in July 2012
only to be used for retail/wholesale pwposes. See Exhibit D. The Master Tenant has had sole
possession of the Property at all times since the time he entered into the lease. Moreover, the
, Master Tenant unlawfully converted the Property into a non-pennitted residential occupancy
without the knowledge or consent of the Owner.

The only monies the Owner received from the Master Tenant for the Property was the
$3,800.00 per month in rent specified in the lease through the end of June 2017. See Exhibit D.
The Owner has no knowledge of the rental amounts the Master Tenant collected from the
residential occupants of each sleeping area, but can only assume such amount well exceeded the
monthly rent the Master Tenant paid the Owner. The Owner has learned that the Master Tenant
continued to collect monthly rent from the residential occupants, even after the Owner filed the
unlawful detainer. For these reasons, the maxims of equity compel that paying the Relocation
Benefits be the sole responsibility of the Master Tenant.

E. Maxims Of Equity Render It Inequitable To Apply California Health & Safety Code
§ 17975.l (a), Which Requires An Owner To Pay Relocation Benefits, In The Instant
Matter As It Would Impose A Severe Financial Burden On The Owner.

The Owner of the Property is a senior citizen whose sole source of income is Social
Security benefits. The last rental payment she received from the Master Tenant of the Property
was in June 2017 and she has expended a significant portion of her meager savings in commencing
and prosecuting the unlawful detailer action against the Master Tenant. If the Owner is required
to pay the amounts set forth in the Relocation Benefits Detennination, it will leave her in dire
financial straits.

For all of the above reasons, the Owner requests that the Relocation Appeals Board
overturn the Relocation Benefits Detennination of Fire Marshal Daniel de' Cossio of the San
Francisco Fire Department.

RELOCATION BENEFITS DETERMINATION


SUBJECT: 2966 24th Street, Assessor's Block 4206, Lot 017
Rufdentfal Units on Mezzanine and First Level
Determination of Reloca6on Benefits Under Section 17975 et seq. of the Callfomla
Health & Safety Code

Dear Property Owner(s), Responsible Parties, and Tenants:

On October e, 2017, after site visits, issuance of a Notice of Violation (NOV), and a hearing, the Bureau of Fire
Prevention (Bureau}, pursuant to Section 109.4.3(g) of the San Francisco FJl-e Code, Issued a Decision and
Order directing abatement of cited violations of the San Francisco Fire Code, and further ordered that the
premises pe vacated within 48 hours of issuance of the order pending abatement of these violations. The
Decision and Order also provides notice to the property owners and tenants of eligibility for tenant relocation
benefits under California Health and Safety Code Section 17975 et seq. The Decision and Order,
accompanying Order to Vacate, NOV, and hearing notice, are attached.

This letter sets forth the Bureau's determination of ellgibillty for such benefits.

According to the Fire Department's official records, the legal use of the mezzanine and first floor levels of the
property at 2966 24th St is for commercial business. At some point in the pas~ portions of this building were
unlawfully converted Into residential occupancies without appropriate permits legalizing this change of use, or
authorizing the associated construction. This building thus currently contains 27 dwelling units, with no rescue
windows and just a single means of egress.

The Bureau Inspected the pro)l(Jrty and Issued a NOV#1708-0164 on September 13, 2017. The Bureau then
on September 25, 2017 noticed an administrative hearing that was conducted on October 5, 2017. As noted In
the post-hearing Decision and Order directing abatement of cited code violations, conditions unsafe to human
life persist, and warrant that the residential units on the mezzanine and first floors of this building be vacated
pending abatement of these conditions. •

California Health & Safety Code Section 17975 provides that


Any tenant who Is displaced or subject to clisplacement from a residential rental unit as
a resolt of an order to vacate or an order requiring the vacation of a residential unit by a
local enforcement agency as a result of a violation so extensive and of such a nature
that the Immediate health and safety of the residents is endangered, shall be entitled to
receive relocation benefits from the owner as specified in this article. The local
enforcement agency shan determine the ellglbllity of tenants for benefits pursuant to this
article.
Section 17975.2 provides that:
The relocation payment shall be made available by the owner or designated agent to
the tenant Jn each resldential unit and shall be a sum equal to two months of the

established fair market rent for the area as determined by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development pursuant to Section 1437f of Title 42 of the United States
Code. In addition, the relocation payment shall Include an amount, as determined by
the local enforcement agency, sufficient for utility service deposits. The relocation
benefits shall be paid by the owner or designated agent In addition to the return, as
required by law, of any security deposits held by the owner. The relocation benefits
shall be payable on a per residential unit basis.
Under Section 17975.1 (a) 1 the owner must pay the relocation benefits to the tenant within 10 days after the date
that the order to vacate Is first malted to the owner and posted on the premises, or at least 20 days prior to the
vacation date set forth in the order to vacate. whichever occurs later. However, as noted in Section 17975.1(b},
If there are fewer than 1Odays between the first posting and malling of the order to vacate and the vacation
date, the owner shall pay the relocation benefits within 24 hours after the notice Is posted and malled.

The Fire Department, Vfa the Bureau; is the •tocal enforcement agency" for purposes of enforcing the California
Health & Safety Code sections cited above. The Department is thus required to make two determinations: (1)
eligibility of tenants for relocation benefits, and (2) amount sufficient for utility service deposits. The amount of
the relocation benefits ls the fair market rent set by Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"}.

Section 17975.2 provides that the relocation benefits are payable on a per residential unit basis. None among
Chapter 5, Article 2.5 of the Health & Safety Code, the San Francisco Housing Code, the California Fire Code,
or the San Francisco Fire Code, defines •residential unit• However, under the City's Municipal Codes, a •guest
room• is considered a residential unit when occupied by a person for at least 32 consecutive days. (S.F.
Administrative Code Section 41.4(n), (q); S.F. Rent Board Rules & Regs., Section 1.17.) There is no provision
in Chapter 5, Article 2.5, Sections 17975, et seq., of the California Health & Safety Code requiring that tenants
must have been residing in a legally authorized residential unit in order to be eligible for relocation benefits.

Upon inspection of the property, the Bureau determined that the unlawful residential occupancies constructed
on the basement level of 2966 24th Sl Involved 27 Illegally constructed guest rooms. I hereby determine that
eaeh of the 27 guest rooms at the property ls a residential unit under Health & Safety Code Sections 17975, et
seq., and that each person who ls able to demonstrate that he or she had been IMng In one of the 27 !Regal
guest rooms for at least 32 consecutive days at the time the Bureau Issued Its Decision and Order and Order to
Vacate Is eligible for relocation benefits under the above-cited sections Of the Health & Safety Code.

HUD's calculation of the fiscal year 2018 falr market rent for an efficiency (zero-bedroom) unit Jn San Francisco,
as published in the Federal Register, Is $2,014. Since the other calculaUons by HUD are for one-bedrooms and
up, I find that the fair market rent for an efficiency unit Is the closet category to a guest room. I therefore ·
determine the owner of 2966 24th St Is required to pay $41028 ($2,014 x two months) for each guest room,
which sum Is to be divided among the eligible tenants of that guest room. Additionally, information the
Department received from PG&E and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Indicate that the amount
sufficient for ulinty service deposits in San Francisco is $432 per unit ($216 x 2 months). Therefore, owner
Wiiiiam & Silvia Rodri and/or their designated agent and/or persons responsible IS ORDERED to pay a
total relocation benefit per unit Is $4,460 within 24 hours of posting and malling of the order to vacate.

This decision Is appealable to the Relocation Appeals Board within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date this
decision was posted and served. Such a writing must be submitted to the Relocation Appeals Board, 1 South
Van Ness Ave .. San Francisco, CA 94103, http://sfgov.orgfrelocalion (reachable by telephone at (415) 701-5598)

INTRODUCTION
2
1. Plaintiff Berenice Perez ("Plaintiff'' or"Perez") asserts the following civil complaint
3 against Defendants Silvia F. Rodriguez, as an individual, Silvia F. Rodriguez, as Trustee to the
4 William & Silvia F. Rodriguez Trust, and Francisco Leon Barranco, as an individual (collectively '
5 "Defendants" or "Landlord") and demands a jury trial.

6 THE PARTIES
2. At all times mentioned here, Plaintiff is and was a competent individual over the age of
7
18 and resident of the City and County of San Francisco. Plaintiff has leased a unit at 2966 - 24th
8
Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 ("Subject Property") from 2013 to the present.
9
3. Defendant Silvia F. Rodriguez is and was a competent individual over the age of 18 and
lO resident of Daly City, County of San Mateo. Defendant Rodriguez is recorded owner of the
11 Subject Property. She is being sued as an individual and as Trustee to the William & Silvia F.
12 Rodriguez Trust.

13 4. Defendant Francisco Leon Barranco ("Barranco") is an individual over 18 years of age


and resident of San Francisco, California. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and on that basis

16
5. Plaintiff does not know the true names and/or capacities of Defendants sued herein as

26 relationship.

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ v. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et al,
JJJRISDICTION AND VENUE
2
8. The acts and/or failures to act complained of herein occurred in the City and County of
3 San Francisco, State of California, in this Judicial District.
4 9. In addition, the real property to which this action relates (the Subject Property) is located
5 in the City and County of San Francisco, State of California, in the above-named Judicial District. ,

6 10. Furthermore, this Court is the proper Court, and this action is properly filed in the County
of San Francisco, because Defendants' obligations and liability arise therein, because the Parties
7
entered into the subject contracts in the County of San Francisco, and because Plaintiff suffered
8
the harms she allege herein within the County of San Francisco.
9
BACKGROUND
IO 11. The Subject Property is in the Mission District of San Francisco, owned and operated by
11 Defendants since at least 2013.
12 12. On belief and information, the Subject Property is currently zoned for only commercial

13 purposes. The last permitted use of the Premises is for an auto repair shop back on or about 1997.
13. However, at least since 2012, prior to when Plaintiff began her tenancy, Defendants
14
illegally converted the Subject property for residential uses. Back at least in 2013, there was at
15
least 10 different units in the former garage space. In the present, there are over 25 units.
16
However, there is only 1 kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms for the entire space. Defendants have been
17 running extension cords for most, if not all, of the electricities to each of the individual 25+ units.
18 There are no windows in any of the units, except for the front garage gate, which serves as the
19 only way for ingress and egress.

20 14. These units were and are leased out to mostly low-income and non-English speaking
individuals of the local community in the Mission District.
21
15. Plaintiff occupied a unit in the Subject Property since 2013, paying $600.00 per month as
22
rent. Her tenancy was based on an oral agreement with Defendants.
23
16. Defendants, and each of them, by virtue of leasing a residential apartment to Plaintiff in a
24 rent-controlled residential apartment building in San Francisco owned and/or managed by
25 Defendants, were landlords within the definition of the San Francisco Residential Rent
26 Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance, (the "Rent Ordinance").

27 17. Plaintiff, by virtue of leasing residential apartments in a rent-controlled building in San

28 -3-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ v. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et a}.,
Francisco, qualify as a "person who hires a dwelling" (i.e. tenant) as defined by California Civil
2
Code § 1940 and avail themselves of all the rights, remedies and benefits contained therein.
3 18. Plaintiff paid all rent allegedly due and owing during her tenancy and otherwise fully
4 complied with her obligations under the oral lease agreement (except as excused or prevented by
5 the Defendants).

6 19. For at least the entire duration of Plaintiff's tenancy, Defendants have failed to properly
maintain the Subject Property as a habitable residential property, and have intentionally ignored
7
their duties under the law (as well as the orders of the City) in providing the Plaintiff and other
8
tenants with a safe and habitable home. The Subject Property has been the subject of several
9
ongoing complaints by the Tenants and the City of San Francisco's Department of Building
10 Inspection ("DBI"). San Francisco Housing inspectors have issued, on information and belief,
11 ''Notice of Violation" (Complaint #2013-27781) and Abatement Order on the Subject Property,
12 for a myriad of health, safety, and habitability issues, including but not limited to: illegal

13 conversion/construction, no heat, no smoke/CO I detectors, garbage accumulation, cockroaches,


bedbugs, lack of reasonable ingress and egress, etc. This matter is still active, according to the
14
DBI. However, nothing has ever been done to remedy any issues, despite the Abatement Order.
15
20. Further, Defendants routinely harassed and threatened Plaintiff and other tenants with
16
illegal, forceful eviction. Defendant Barranco would disconnect (or threaten to disconnect) the
17 power to Plaintiff and other tenant's units or take/replace away the actual door knob.
18 21. In fact, on or about Augus~ 1, 2017, Defendant Barranco changed the locks to Plaintiff's
19 unit, locking her out from her personal belongings.

20 22. At all times before and during Plaintiff's tenancy, including through the present,
Defendants were aware Plaintiff's unit and the entire Subject Property were defective and
21
untenantable in numerous ways, including but not limited to:
22
a. Having inadequate heat in all pertinent areas of the units;
23
b. Lacking clean water, where Plaintiff had to endure a foul, sewer smell in the drains
24 and discoloration in the faucet waters;
25 c. Constant flowing of raw sewage due to inadequate piping;
26 d. Lack of any fire escape;

27 e. Lacking working smoke alarms in the common area of the Subject Property;

28 -4-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ v. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et al.,
f. Lacking a working central fire alarm system;
2
g. Having a severe building wide bedbug & cockroach infestation;
3 h. Multiple structural defects resulting in unsafe living conditions;
4 i. Improper electrical wiring, whereas Defendants used extension cables to power the

5 individual units;

6 23. Throughout her occupancy and tenancy of her unit, Plaintiff informed the Defendants of
the defective and dangerous conditions listed above, among others, and requested that
7
Defendants and/or their agents, have them resolved. Despite these requests Defendants, and each
8
of them, failed and/or refused to effectively remediate the conditions, and/or did so in a negligent
9
and/or unreasonable fashion and in bad faith.
IO 24. Throughout Plaintiff's tenancy in the Subject Property, she paid monthly rent to
11 Defendants for the untenantable units.
12 25. On information and belief, Plaintiff alleges Defendants' conduct described herein was

13 intended to, and in fact did, illegally oust Plaintiff from the Subject Property. Such conduct
includes, but is not limited to, the following:
J4
a. Failing to provide a habitable dwelling free from defect;
15
b. Continuously failing to maintain and repair severe habitability violations in the unit
16
which rendered the unit substandard and untenantable;
t7 c. Failing to comply with the industry standard of care and employ properly licensed
18 and trained professionals to respond to and repair habitability defects per industry
19 standards throughout the Subject Property;

20 d. Failing to maintain and repair the Subject Property in a habitable cQndition per
industry and statutory standards.
21
e. Said defective conditions were persistent throughout Plaintiff's tenancy and
22
deteriorated from month to month.
23
f. Illegally changed the locks and disconnected power to Plaintiff's unit in retaliation
24 against her.
25 26. Defendants have not performed their obligation under Plaintiff's lease in ways that
26 include, but are not limited to the following:
a. Breached the warranty of habitability;

28 -S-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ v. SILVIA F. RODRIQUEZ. et al..
b. Failed to maintain the Subject Property in a safe and habitable condition;
2
c. Denied Plaintiff peaceable quiet enjoyment of the Subject Property;
3 d. Said defective conditions were not caused by wrongful or abnormal use of the
4 Subject Property by Plaintiff or anyone acting under her authority.

5 27. Defendants endeavored to recover possession of Plaintiff's unit bad faith through

6 unlawful harassment and other means, including but not limited to a) demanding full rent while
Plaintiff's unit were untenantable; and b) forcefully changed Plaintiff's lock on her unit; and c)
7
disconnected power to Plaintiff's unit. This is in addition to the Defendants permitting the Subject
8
Property to fall into and/or remain in a condition that was substandard, untenantable and a
9
threat to the health and safety of Plaintiff, and any occupants, in an effort to recover possession of :
10 the rent-controlled unit.
11 28. Defendants' conduct was without right or justification and done for the purpose of

12 depriving Plaintiff of her right to possession her unit. Defendants engaged in the above-described

13 conduct with the knowledge that the conduct was without right or justification and without regard :
for the fact that it would cause injury to Plaintiff, notwithstanding her obligation to comply with
14
applicable ordinances and statutes providing for quiet possession and enjoyment her Unit.
15
29. Civil Code 3294 permits punitive damages, ifthere is evidence of oppression, fraud, or
16
malice. Per Section 3294, "Malice" means conduct which is intended by the defendant to cause
17 injury to the plaintiff or despicable conduct which is carried on by the defendant with a willful
18 and conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others. "Oppression" means despicable conduct
19 that subjects a person to cruel and unjust hardship in conscious disregard of that person's rights.

20 "Fraud" means an intentional misrepresentation, deceit, or concealment of a material fact known


to the defendant with the intention on the part of the defendant of thereby depriving a person of
21
property or legal rights or otherwise causing injury.
22
30. Defendants' actions and inactions were rife with malice, oppression, and fraud.
23
Defendants already have a Notice of Violation and and Order of Abatement on the Premises since
24 back in 2013. Yet, they willfully ignored it and continued their illegal scheme to receive rent from ·
25 these victims, including Plaintiff. They had and continue to have a wilful and conscious disregard
26 of the safety of Plaintiff and the other tenants, due to the extremely substandard conditions of the

27 Premises. Further, they subjected Plaintiff and the other tenants to cruel and unjust hardships for

28 -6-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ y. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et al.,
having to live in constant danger and filth and illegal threats of eviction. They intentionally
2
concealed the true nature of the Premises from Plaintiff and the other tenants, in that it is actually
3 an auto repair shop illegally converted to "living" spaces. Finally, Defendants intentionally, in a
4 obvious retaliation against Plaintiff, forcefully changed the locks and disconnected power to
5 Plaintiff's unit, depriving her of her home. Thus, an award for punitive damages is warranted.

6 31. Each Defendant knew or should have known the issues alleged in this Complaint.
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

9
32. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.
10 33. Plaintiff and Defendant entered into an oral lease agreements.
11 34. Defendants foiled and continue to fail to perform the terms and conditions of the lease

14
Plaintiff's Unit; preventing quiet enjoyment by Plaintiff of her unit; wrongfully demanding and

17 35. Plaintiff performed all duties, conditions and obligations, which were required of her
18 pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement.
19 36. Defendant's breaches of the lease agreements as alleged are the direct and proximate

20 cause of Plaintiff's damages as described herein.


SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
21
Tenant Harassment (San Francisco Administrative Code§ 37.10 B)
22
(Against All Defendants)
23
37. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.
24 38. San Francisco Administrative Code§ 37 et seq. (the "Rent Ordinance") governs certain
25 aspects of tenancy within San Francisco. Defendants' acts described above constitute unlawful
26 harassment under the Rent Ordinance as they were done in bad faith or with ulterior motive or

27 without honest intent. Among many other violations, Defendants' failure to undertake repairs

28 -7-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ y. SILVIA F. RODRIQUEZ. et al..
with due diligence, as described above, violate Rent Ordinance§ 37.10B(a)(3). Defendants'
2
interference with Plaintiff's rights to quiet use and enjoyment of a rental housing unit violate Rent
3 Ordinance§ 37.lOB(a)(lO); Defendants' interference with Plaintiff's rights to privacy violates
4 Rent Ordinance§ 37.10B(a)(13).
5 39. Plaintiff alleges that she has suffered general and special damages due to illegal actions of .

6
Defendants, in an amount to be determined at trial, but in no event less than the jurisdictional
limits of this Court. Defendants' repeated harassment of Plaintiff, as detailed herein, was so
7
outrageous that Defendants acted in knowing violation or reckless disregard of San Francisco
8
Administrative Code § 37.1 OB and therefore Plaintiff is entitled to treble damages for mental and
9
emotional distress.
10 40. As a direct, proximate, and foreseeable result of Defendants' illegal actions done with
11 oppression, fraud and malice, Plaintiff has been denied the full use and enjoyment of her unit and
.12 suffered and continue to suffer considerable mental anguish, fear, anxiety and pain and have

13 therefore been damaged in an amount to be determined at trial and trebled according to statute.
41. As a direct, proximate, and foreseeable result of Defendants' illegal actions, Plaintiff has
14
suffered damages in an amount to be determined at trial, but in no event less than the
15
jurisdictional limits of this Court, and trebled pursuant to San Francisco Administrative Code §
16
37.lOB(c)(S).
17 42. In doing the acts alleged herein, and repeatedly ignoring the requests of Plaintiff and the
18 DBI, Defendants have acted with oppression, fraud and malice; therefore Plaintiff is entitled to
19 punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial.

20 43. Pursuant to Rent Ordinance§ 37.10B(c)(5), Plaintiff is also entitled to injunctive relief
and to recover reasonable attorney fees incurred in the prosecution of this action.
21
THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
22
Wrongful Eviction (San Francisco Administrative Code§ 37.9 et seq.)
23
(Against All Defendants)
24 44. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.
25 45. Due to the above-stated acts or omissions of Defendants, and the intolerable conditions of
26 Plaintiff's unit, Defendants rendered Plaintiff's unit unfit for use as a residence. Further,

27 specifically, on or about August 1, 2017, Defendants forcefully changed the locks on Plaintiff's

28 -8-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ v. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et al..
unit. This type of action was threatened to be used by Defendants before, in additional to actual
2
and threats of disconnecting the power to the unit. Plaintiff has not been able to return to the her
3 unit, rendering her without a home.
4 46. Defendants endeavored to recover, and in fact recovered, possession of the units leased by ,
5 the Plaintiff in bad faith, with ulterior reason, and without honest intent, and in a manner not

6 permitted by the Rent Ordinance and thereby violated the provisions of the Rent Ordinance §
37.9 et seq.
7
47. Section 37.9(f) of the Rent Ordinance provides for an award of not less than three times
8
the actual damages when a landlord or any other person willfully assists a landlord to endeavor to ,.
9 '
recover possession of a rental unit in violation of§ 37.9 et seq.
10 48. As a direct and proximate result of the above conduct and Plaintiff's wrongful eviction,
II she suffered expenses for moving and relocation, the forced abandonment of property, and a
12 difference in the rental value for his new residence, in addition to emotional distress, in an

13 amount to be proven at trial.


49. The aforementioned acts of Defendants were in conscious disregard of Plaintiff's tenant
14
rights and his safety. Defendants were willful, oppressive and malicious in their refusal to abide
15
by the lease agreement and their attempt to force Plaintiff out of his rent-controlled apartment.
16
Plaintiff is therefore entitled to punitive damages in an amount to be proven at trial.
17 FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION
18 Breach of the Implied Warranty of Habitability
19 (Against All Defendants)

20 50. Plaintiff re-alleges and incmporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.
51. At all relevant times herein, defective living conditions have existed, and continue to
21
exist, at the Subject Property, including but not limited to Plaintiff's unit. These defective
22
conditions include, but are not limited to:
23
a. Having inadequate heat in all pertinent areas of the units;
24 b. Lacking clean water, where Plaintiff had to endure a foul, sewer smell in the drains
25 and discoloration in the faucet waters;
26 c. Constant flooding of raw sewage due to inadequate piping;

2
f. Lacking a working central fire alarm system;
3 g. Having a severe building wide bedbug & cockroach infestation;
4 h. Multiple structural defects resulting in unsafe living conditions;

5 1. Improper electrical wiring, whereas Defendants used extension cables to power the

6 individual units;
52. The defective conditions stated above are violations of state and local housing laws and
7
pose severe health and safety hazards. The defective conditions materially affected Plaintiff's
8
living conditions and health.
9
53. Defendants had actual and constructive notice of each of the defective conditions
rn described above at all relevant times herein. Despite such notice, Defendants failed to take the
11 steps necessary to repair said conditions.
12 54. Plaintiff paid Defendants monthly rent during the time she occupied her unit in the

13 Subject Property.
55. Plaintiff did nothing to cause, create or contribute to the existence of the defective
14
conditions stated above.
15
56. By Defendants' breach of the warranty of habitability, Defendants breached a duty
16
imposed on all residential landlords by state and local law. In failing to repair the defective
17 conditions detailed above, Defendants acted unreasonably.
.18 57. Defendants' conduct was deliberate, willful and malicious. Defendants acted, or failed to
19 act, deliberately and in conscious disregard of the rights and safety of Plaintiff. By reason thereof,

20 Plaintiff is entitled to punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial.


FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION
21
Breach of Statutory Warranty of Habitability
22
(Against All Defendants)
23
58. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.
24 59. Defendants have violated statutes, .including, among others, Cal. Civil Code§ 1941 et
seq., and Health & Safety Code § 17920.3 related to the implied warranty of habitability.
26 60. Plaintiff repeatedly notified Defendants, both orally and in writing, of these unsanitary,

27 unhealthy and/or defective conditions. Defendants failed and/or refused to remediate these

28 -10-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ y. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et al.,
dangerous and defective conditions within a reasonable time, or at all. Accordingly, Plaintiff is
2
informed and believe, and thereon allege, that Defendants had actual and/or constructive notice of
3 each of the defective conditions described above at all relevant times herein. Despite such notice,
4 Defendants failed to take the steps necessary to remediate said conditions, sometimes for years at

5 a time.
61. Plaintiff paid Defendants rent during the time she occupied her unit in the Subject
6
Property.
7
62. Plaintiff did nothing to cause, create or contribute to the existence of the defective
8
conditions stated above. Further, her unit as it existed in their defective and dangerous condition
9
had no rental value whatsoever as a result of their defective and dangerous conditions.
10 63. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants' breach of the statutory warranty of
11 habitability and their failure to remediate the defective and dangerous conditions or have them

12 repaired within a reasonable time or at all, Plaintiff suffered the loss of the use of her unit, and

13 was forced to live in unsafe and untenantable units, while still being forced to pay rent.
64. Defendants' conduct was deliberate, willful and malicious. Defendants acted, or failed to
14
act, deliberately and in conscious disregard of the rights and safety of Plaintiff. By reason thereof,
15
Plaintiff is entitled to punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial.
16
SIXTH CAUSE OF ACTION
17 Negligence
18 (Against All Defendants)
19 65. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.

20 66. By reason of the landlord-tenant relationship between Defendants and Plaintiff,


Defendants and their agents owed Plaintiff a duty to exercise reasonable care in the ownership,
21
management, inspection, and control of the units and common areas of the Subject Property,
22
including Plaintiff's unit, which included a statutory duty to comply with all applicable laws
23
governing Plaintiff's rights as tenant and all duties listed below. Defendants also owed a duty to
24 exercise reasonable care in maintaining the Subject Property and its units free of defects and/or
25 hazards and in inspecting the units for the same, so as to preclude any person, including Plaintiff
26 from unreasonable risk of harm. Defendants also owed a duty to warn Plaintiff of any potential

27 and non-obvious hazards.

28 -11-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
Bf:RENICE PEREZ v. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et al..
67. The duty to exercise reasonable care owed by Defendants, and each of them, to Plaintiff
2
also included, but was not limited to the following duties: to provide Tenants with legal,
3 tenantable housing fit for human occupancy; to refrain from interfering with Tenants' full use and ,
4 quiet enjoyment of the rented residence; and to comply with all applicable state and local laws

5 governing Plaintiff's rights as tenants.


68. Defendants, by the acts and omissions alleged herein, were negligent and careless and
6
thereby breached said duties. Defendants also breached their duties to Plaintiff by failing to
7
inspect her unit, to repair it properly, to maintain it free of defects and hazards, and to warn
8
Plaintiff of the potentially hazardous nature of the vermin infesting the her unit.
9
69. As a direct and proximate result of these breaches of duty by Defendants, Plaintiff
10 suffered actual and special damages as herein alleged.
11 70. The aforementioned duties breached by Defendants were breached with knowing and/or

12 reckless disregard for Plaintiff's rights, safety, and health and thus justify an award of substantial

13 exemplary and punitive damages in an amount to be proven at trial.


SEVENTH CAUSE OF ACTION
14
Nuisance
15
(Against All Defendants)
16
71. Plaintiff re-alleges l!Ild incorporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.
17 72. Plaintiff, by virtue of her rental at the Subject property, had at all relevant times, a
18 property interest in her unit. Defendants' conduct in creating and maintaining a nuisance premises

19 in the manner described herein, was injurious to Plaintiff, offensive to Plaintiff's senses, and

20 interfered with her comfortable enjoyment oflife, personal property, and her interest in the her
unit.
21
73. Defendants created and maintained the deficient conditions in the Subject Property and
22
Plaintiff's unit by failing to correct or remediate defective conditions. Defendants' conduct in
23
maintaining the Subject Property and Plaintiff's unit in a hazardous, unhealthy and offensive state ·
24 was grossly negligent and Defendants should have known that regular upkeep would be required
25 to maintain the habitability of the units and Subject Property.
26 74. As a direct, legal and foreseeable result of the conduct of Defendants, as set forth above,

27 Plaintiff suffered damages as set forth herein.

28 -12 -

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ y. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et al.,
75. Defendants' conduct, as set forth herein, was grossly negligent and through reasonable
2
and necessary inspections it would have been readily apparent that injury, discomfort, and
3 annoyance would unavoidably result to Plaintiff. Defendants therefore acted with willful and
4 conscious disregard for the rights and safety of Plaintiff. Defendants' conduct was also

5 oppressive and despicable, and said conduct constituted cruel and unjust hardships upon Plaintiff.
Thus, Plaintiff requests punitive damages to be proven at trial.
6
EIGHTH CAUSE OF ACTION
7
Breach of Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment
8
(Against All Defendants)
9
76. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.
10 77. By the acts and omissions described above, Defendants interfered with, interrupted, and
11 deprived Plaintiff the use of her unit and disturbed Plaintiff's peaceful possession of it.

12 78. Defendants' acts of interference, interruption, deprivation, and disturbance amount to a

13 breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment implied in all rental agreements, and codified in Cal.
Civil Code § 1927.
14
79. As a direct and proximate result thereof, Plaintiff suffered, and continue to suffer, pain,
15
discomfort, annoyance, inconvenience, anxiety, economic loss, loss of use, and mental anguish,
16
all to her detriment in amounts to be determined at trial.
17 NINTH CAUSE OF AC'JION
18 Collection of Rent for Untenantable Dwelling (Cal. Civil Code§§ 1941, 1942.4)
19 (Against All Defendants)

20 80. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.
81. At all times relevant herein, the Subject Property and Plaintiff's unit substantially lacked
21
the affirmative standard characteristics listed in Civil Code§ 1941.1, including but not limited to:
22
a. Having inadequate heat in all pertinent areas of the units;
23
b. Lacking clean water, where Plaintiff had to endure a foul, sewer smell in the drains
24 and discoloration in the faucet waters;
_,,- c. Constant flooding of raw sewage, due to inadequate piping;
26 d. Lack of any fire escape;

27 e. Lacking working smoke alarms in the common area of the Subject Property;

28 -13-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ v. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et al.,
f. Lacking a working central fire alarm system;
2
g. Having a severe building wide bedbug & cockroach infestation;
3 h. Multiple structural defects resulting in unsafe living conditions;
4 i. Improper electrical wiring, whereas Defendants used extension cables to power the

5 individual units;

6 82. The conditions described above were not caused by an act or omission of Plaintiff in
violation of Civil Code§§ 1929 or 1941.2.
7
83. Defendants continued to demand and collect rent despite the existence of the conditions
8
described above, thereby violating Civil Code § 1942.4. As a direct and proximate result thereof,
9
Plaintiff suffered and continue to suffer actual damages, all to her detriment in an amount to be
10 determined at trial.
11 TENTH CAUSE OF ACTION
12 Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress

13 (Against All Defendants)


84. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.
14
85. Defendants' acts as alleged were extreme and outrageous and done with conscious
15
disregard for Plaintiff's rights. Defendants knew Plaintiff was susceptible to additional
16
discomfort as a result of the conduct described, knew the conduct adversely affected them, had
17 the wherewithal to avoid the conduct, yet consciously failed and refused to do so.
18 86. As a result of Defendants' conduct and their numerous failures to maintain the units in

19 habitable condition, the failure to provide heat, functioning and safe electrical outlets, and failure

20 to deal with water leaks and bedbug infestations, the Plaintiff suffered, and continue to suffer,
severe mental and emotional distress, pain, and suffering, in an amount to be proven at trial.
21
ELEVENTH CAUSE OF ACTION
22
Unfair Business Practices (Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq.)
23
{Against All Defendants)
24 87. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates all allegations above as though fully set forth herein.
25 88. Plaintiff brings this cause of action under Business and Professions Code § 17200 et seq.
26 as private person affected by the acts described in this complaint. Plaintiff has lost money or

27 property as a result of Defendants' unfair and deceptive business practices.

28 -14-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ y. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et a).•
• <

89. At all times relevant herein, Defendants and each of them were conducting the business of
2
leasing residential property under the laws of the State of California and/or the City and County
3 of San Francisco. In conducting said business, Defendants were obligated to comply with the
4 laws of the State of California and/or the City and County of San Francisco.
5 90. Defendants have violated, and continue to violate, Business and Professions Code §

6 17200 et seq. through their unlawful and unfair business acts and/or practices, including but not
limited to harassing Plaintiff and other California consumers, failing to maintain and repair the
7
Subject Property, including Plaintiff's unit, and agreeing to lease substandard properties that
8
endanger the life, health, property, safety, and welfare of the occupants and the general public
9
while collecting rent for such properties.
10 91. Defendants' unlawful acts and practices, constitute unlawful business acts and practices
11 within the meaning of California Business and Professions Code § 17200 et seq. Defendants'
12 unlawful business acts and/or practices as alleged herein have violated numerous state laws and

13 regulations - and these predicate acts are therefore per se violations of section 17200 et seq.
These predicate unlawful business acts and/or practices include, but are not limited to, violations
14
of the following statutes:
15
a. San Francisco Admin. C. § 37.lOB;
16
b. San Francisco Admin. C. § 37.9;
17 c. California Civil Code § 1941 et seq.,
18 d. Health & Safety Code§ 17920.3;
19 e. California Civil Code§§ 1941, 1942.4;

20 92. Defendants' misconduct as alleged in this action gave Defendants an unfair competitive
advantage over their competitors. The misconduct, as alleged herein, also violated established
21
law and/or public policies which seek to regulate the health, safety, and tenancy of residential
22
units within the city, and ensure that such units are within the safety standards set by the City and
23
County of San Francisco and the State of California. Defendants' actions in failing to maintain
24 the Subject Property to even basic levels of habitability while still collecting hundreds of
25 thousands of dollars in profit was and is directly contrary to established legislative goals and
26 policies promoting the ethical and lawful renting of residential units in the City of San Francisco

27 and the State of California. Therefore Defendants' acts and practices alleged herein were and are

28 -15-

CIVIL COMPLAINT
BERENICE PEREZ v. SILVIA F. RODRIGUEZ. et al.,
unfair within the meaning of Business and Professions Code § 17200 et seq.
2
93. At all times relevant, Defendants' misconduct alleged herein: (a) caused substantial injwy
3 to the public; (b) had no countervailing benefit to consumers that could possibly outweigh this
4 substantial injwy; and (c) Defendants' actions caused injury that could not have been avoided by

5 ordinary consumers. Therefore, Defendants' acts and practices as alleged herein were unfair

6 within the meaning of Business and Professions Code § 17200 et seq.


94. Defendants knew of and intentionally ignored the laws regulating the tenancy of
7
residential housing, knew the units they offered were untenantable, and collected rent on such
8
units anyway.
9
95. Courts award exemplary damages to discourage oppression, fraud, or malice by punishing :
10 the wrongdoer. Such damages are appropriate in cases like the present one, where restitution
11 would have little or no deterrent effect, for wrongdoers would run no risk of liability to their

12 victims beyond that of returning what they wrongfully obtained. The California Supreme Court

13 and Appellate Courts have approved the imposition of exemplary damages in connection with
restitutionary theories of recovery in appropriate circumstances. Ward v. Ta,u;gart ( 1959) 51
14
Cal.2d 736. 742-743; McLauahlin y. National Union Fire Ins. Co. (1994) 23 Cal.App.4th 1132.
15
~.
16
96. Plaintiff also requests an injunction to enjoin further illegal and unfair business practices
17 by Defendants, an order forcing them to abate all currently existing DBI violations, and enjoining
18 Defendants from collecting rent until they do so.

19 PRAYER FOR RELIEF AND JUDGMENT

20 WHEREFORE Plaintiff prays for judgment and relief as follows:


1. That Defendants be ordered and enjoined to pay restitution of all rental fees to Plaintiff
21
due to Defendants' unlawful and/or unfair activities, pursuant to Business and Professions
22
Code§§ 17200 et seq;
23
2. For damages, relocation expenses, and restitution of deposits to Plaintiff.
24 3. For statutory penalties under applicable causes of action;
25 4. For treble damages where authorized under applicable causes of action;
26 5. For general and special damages on the Plaintiff's claims;

27 6. For pre- and post-judgment interest as permitted by law;
