Wait a minute, sir.
Sir, wait a minute, please.
So, are you
the owner?
You filed it.
He's the owner, Johnny. So, he's the one
that has to testify.
So, the issue would be is
if he can do that, I think it's going to be
difficult to do this on the phone.
I uploaded everything
more than a month ago
and I thought
you guys should have all the documents.
Well, we have it, but you have to present your case using your documents.
So if you can do that on the phone, please try, but I think you're going to need a computer.
Well, this is the, I'm the one who's supposed to talk.
Okay, I don't know if you see the post right here in front of the property.
See the post.
Hillary, can we get through with this?
um i just had a question um mr johnny what what are you using you said you're on the phone but i
see uh a camera do you have you have a screen that you can you can share like how are you on the zoom
i am through my phone okay can you if the video is through your phone sorry can you still hear me
yeah okay um if the video is it's through your phone are you able to go to your documents on
your phone and then share them let me see if I could do that
yeah we see it we it's it's visible yep okay okay move on we see that okay so this is the first
page yes okay that's uh the refusal that's the refusal yeah okay steve and that's the appeal
and that's the description
of what happened
in 2013 which is
the application for appeal
and that's when I purchased the property
in 2013 from the sheriff's
sale it was an existing duplex
and I pulled a permit to
renovate the property a city inspector
was on site and
never mentioned
to me this is a single family
house. So we got
approved and we finished the project
and it's been rented for a low income
in 2015.
And that's the deed.
That's the sheriff's sale, the purchase, the property,
the date, the price.
We have an updated one of these.
Excuse me, this is the court reporter. Could I please
have the name of the other gentleman
who's speaking?
Is my son Ali Johnny?
Hi, my name is Ali Johnny, A-L-I Johnny, J-O-N-N-Y.
Hi, my name is Ali, Johnny, A-L-I, Johnny, J-O-N-N-Y.
Thank you.
Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Yes, sir, I do.
But your father's going to have to testify, okay?
No problem, sir.
So, he has to receive the certificate of compliance.
and that's the sheriff documentation that purchases and this is my tax the clearance
as you see it you have do you have pictures what we could use could you show us photos of the
property yes
i'm not really familiar with the high tech so that's why my son is here to help me with that
It's okay.
do you see it we do do you have photos of inside the property yes i do
OK, just one second.
Can I show them?
Is it the outside?
No, the inside is the property.
Right there.
That's the staircase.
Can you do the same thing we did on the share?
That's the inside.
What else?
That's all I have because I requested the staircase on the inside of the property.
I don't have no picture because it's occupied.
We still need to know what the inside of the property looks like and how it's structured.
I see.
Just one second.
I might have an older picture.
There's a two-bedroom, each apartment.
I'm still looking through my photos.
So, Hillary, I don't believe they have any photos.
I see the note you had put before about just the stairs to the second unit.
I think we're going to have to do a resumptive hearing
on this, Hillary
Okay, Mr. Chair
So what we'll do is have a resumptive hearing
You're going to have to come back
showing us photos on how the first and second
how it's laid out, take pictures of it
and show us what you have, okay
So we're going to have a resumptive hearing for this
so we will be in touch with you when that hearing is but you have to get to us the
photos of the inside first okay so the same the way you sent things in before you need to do it
again okay so all the documents that i have sent before i have to submit again
how do we have his documents or they would they be good or do you need them again all that all that
he would need to do is submit interior photos and then he'll need to to repost the property and
if his depending on when he comes back his tax clearance has run out we'll need an updated tax
clearance so that's it you don't need to resubmit your entire exhibit package again
