Yes, sir.
So, translator, here's our situation.
Apparently, he's went to the RCO that approves these type of things, right?
We have a letter of non-opposition for the council person's office, and we have a letter
of support from the RCO.
what we don't have is the exhibits that he needs to put forward with any application
so what we have to do is we have to explain to him that you know we we we do have letters to
support from him from the council person and also the rco but we need his basically his application
package we need like a deed we need like his tax records we need all those things um and that's
what we need could you please tell him that and then what we're going to wind up doing is we're
going to have to continue this today because we don't have his documents but someone should explain
him what he needs right and then once we get that then we can go on because we've already received
something from the council person saying she agrees with no opposition and also the local
coordinating rco could you mention that to him for me yes sir first i'll do a quick introduction
Soginosoian. Señor, yo soy
Lionel, yo voy a ser el intérprete.
Todo se maneja confidencial
y solamente para
se le pido hablar en frases cortas
y completas para tener una buena conversación.
Muy bien, caballero.
Entonces, tenemos, este es
el caso, tenemos
para que, usted
fue para que lo aprobaran en el
RCO. Tenemos
una carta de no
oposición y tenemos una carta de apoyo de las personas del consejo lo que no tenemos es los
las exhibiciones y todo lo que es lo que necesito necesitamos poner su aplicación es decir necesitamos
cualquier documento que sea sus impuestos puede ser un documento de de propietario cualquier
documento, todos esos documentos
porque el día de hoy no tenemos ningún
documento, entonces todo lo que
necesita, entonces como le digo
no tenemos ninguna
tenemos una carta de no oposición
y tenemos el
apoyo de
el apoyo local
como usted dice una
carta de, una carta
como de tase
una carta que pruebe que soy dueño de esta propiedad
o que?
What do you mean?
Like a letter that says that I am the owner of this property or things like that?
Mr. Chair, I can briefly explain.
So what he needs to submit for an exhibit packet is the deed to his property, photos showing what he is requesting,
and the photos also need to show that the property had the zoning poster that was sent to him on it.
he needs a tax clearance certificate
or proof of zero tax balance
and then he needs a copy of the refusal
that was given to him
and resulted in this zoning appeal
and I can repeat that again if you need to
thank you
muy bien
entonces lo que necesitamos
en la exhibición de paquete
lo que necesitamos es
un documento de propiedad
ok necesitamos fotos que muestren qué es lo que usted está solicitando necesitamos fotos que muestren el póster
Necesitamos fotos que muestren el póster de zonificación en la propiedad que se le envió a usted. Necesitamos un documento de que tiene cero balance o que tiene cero deudas con los impuestos, que usted está libre, que usted está al día con los impuestos. Necesitamos una copia del rechazo que se le dio a usted por la apelación de la zonificación.
Okay, when you're telling me to get the tax clearance certificates, can I get those documents, can I get that at the same building at the one located at 1401 JFK?
Can someone work with Mr. Abreu to email the Zoning Board for instructions on how to do that?
So I noticed that his daughter was there.
If his daughter were to call the office, we can help her on everything he needs.
Muy bien.
Noté de que su hija está ahí.
Si su hija puede llamar a la oficina, nosotros podemos ayudarla con todo lo que necesita.
Okay, entonces, ¿a qué número debo llamar para eso?
Okay, what number do I need to call for that?
Yes, I would say the staff will put the number in the chat.
Muy bien, el staff va a poner el número en el chat.
No entiendo.
Make sure he knows what that is.
It's on the computer, the screen, on the computer, on the bottom.
