"A recent survey of 382 San Francisco foreclosures found irregular documents or other \u201Csuspicious activities\u201D in 99 percent of the cases and \u201Cat least one clear violation\u201D of state law 84 percent of the time, San Francisco Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting said Wednesday.The report \u2014 which Ting commissioned and called the first of its kind in the state \u2014 audited 382 San Francisco homes that went through foreclosure between 2009 and 2011. Regardless of whether the homes were rightly or wrongly foreclosed upon, Ting said, the system is not functioning properly for county officials, the mortgage industry and consumers.\u201CIt may not be a violation of the law, but it\u2019s very odd when you submit documents that are backdated two years prior, and they are submitted on behalf of organizations that no longer exist,\u201D Ting said.The report was prepared for Ting by the mortgage investigation firm Aequitas."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
