No explicit connection is published for this item.

After the decision: permits at this address
Permits dated after Feb 4, 2026 (Commission approves the certification).
Computed by code from the building permits in the Park Ridge property release (the county permit feed), as of Nov 1, 2026. A permit shows that work was authorized, not that it was completed, and no permit recorded does not establish that nothing was built. A parcel matched by address is nominated by the address written in the record; that does not prove the record concerns it.
Matched by address: 500 Root Street
500 Root StNo permits recorded after Feb 4, 2026 through Nov 1, 2026. Earlier permits on file: 2, the latest dated Apr 21, 2021 (Water heater).
