After the decision: permits at this address

Permits dated after Mar 18, 2026 (City Council grants the variances).

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.
