Here is an image right after the landlord removed our ADA ramp, and refused to reinstall it. It happened about four years ago? I also drew in where they placed their new garage door.

Ken, here is another circled image, and a better shot of the old ADA ramp. More pictures are coming soon.
Thanks for your refreshing willingness to help!

Ken,
Thanks for your quick response! I have attached the image with the section circled for you. Did you see my previous email with a picture of the building prior to the changes? I will
send it again, but let me know if its not what you are looking for.
Thanks,
Cody

Hi Cody,
Thank you for contacting us regarding the reported concern. I’m researching land use decisions and permits associated with the reported property. Can you identify on the map included
below, the precise location where the reported work occurred? Also, do you have any before pictures of the building before the structural work was completed and the overhead door was
installed?
If you have any questions, please call me at 503-718-2581.
Thank you,
Ken

You don't often get email from cody@skyhookfitness.com <mailto:cody@skyhookfitness.com> . Learn why this is important <https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
Hey Tigard code compliance office,
I am sending this email to report an issue, and I could not get your online software to recognize the address, and Tigard maps was down. I am reporting that inside Tigard business
park 217, at the suite located at 12000 SW Garden Place, Tigard OR, I believe they either completed work without a permit, or have otherwise created an unsafe walkway. The Business
park is run by BKM property management, and the suite is leased to Portland jacuzzi, it is building six in the park, and is next to Skyhook Ninja Fitness and the BMW motorcycle dealership.
On the front side of the building, they cut a new garage door into the building, and in the process removed Lawn, and cut the sidewalk in such a way that it ended with a sharp drop
on both sides. One of our customers already fell and hurt themselves there, and is threatening legal action. BKM also removed the Wheelchair ramp in front of our suite without our permission
and against our requests asking for it to remain when they redid part of the sidewalk. I am afraid that the combination of the lack of wheel chair ramps, combined with the precipitous
drop off in the sidewalk opens me, the business park, and the city to potential legal action. I am unsure if they had the work that has been completed permitted, but regardless, I do
not believe it is safe or well done.
Please see the attched pictures to see how it used to look, and how it looks now. I also hope that I will not be named in this report if anything comes from this, as that might anger
my landlord, and I might face some backlash from them, such as them refusing to renew my lease, so please do not name me when communicating with them. Unfortunately due to the size
of the images, I will have to send multiple emails to send them all.
Thanks so much,
Cody Knope-Jenkins
