in order to complete the homes. He stated they had prevailed upon
the builder to complete these items, some of which were minor and
others which were major, and to this date had receivedl very little
cooperation from the builder. He further commented that they had
sign posted their homes calling to the attention of palssersby of
the poor workmanship and iucompleted items, and had been informed
by the builder that if the signs were not removed ther~ would be
further delays iu the completion of the unfinished items.
Mr. Cohn stated that he realized there was not much that the City
Council could do, but that they were appealing to the Council so
they would be cognizant of the situation and that they would appre-
ciate whatever help could be offered.

AMERICAN GUILD HOMES:
( CONTINUED )
Discussion followed, at which time Councilman Rocca suggested the
occupants contact the FHA. Mayor Aheru then remarked that Council
would offer whatever assistance they could in this matter.
Mr. Victor Boido, 505 Orange Avenue, asked as to whether or not
the contractors had to post bonds to properly complete the work,
to which the Mayor replied as far as he knew they did not. Mr.
Boido then remarked that the City should be more careful in pro-
tectiug the rights of the residents since the contractor or builder
came into the City, built the homes, sold them for a prgfit and
then left the residents with the problems.
Councilman Bertucelli, in answer to Mr. Boido, stated the City had
strict regulations which were adhered to and that the e~forcemeut
he spoke about should have been employed when Mr. Boidolwas a mem-
ber of the Council since some homes Iu areas within theiCity should
have been built a little bit differently. Mr. Boido co~mented that
situations iu building were differeu~ then than they are today.
Mr. John Saciotes, 138 Clay Avenue, stated that since Foxridge was
so close to the City he suggested the City prevail on the County
to institute stronger measures on the building regulations. He
further remarked that the City of San Francisco, iu all probability,
has the most stringent building code iu the area and suggested that
the City adopt some of these sectiouB for its own use..
There being nothing further, Councilman Rocca moved, seconded by
Councilman Rozzi and regularly carried, that the meetiu~ be ad-
Journed to Monday, August 31, 1964, at 5:30 p.m.
