Permits at this address since the first recorded event
No approval, award or execution is recorded, so permits are counted after the first dated event, Sep 8, 2026 (Council adds a condition ending the variance on sale).
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.
