Why this building is in the record

The City assesses this parcel under roll code X034, for which it publishes no description, so the office-code definition alone would omit it. It is included because The City’s own building permits record office use on the parcel: 8 permits in the City’s Office classes between 2007 and 2026. The building may hold other uses as well. Every building included this way.

Parking

What the City’s own tariff record says about kerbside parking beside this parcel.

An inspection result is a record of one visit, not a verdict on the building. 11 of these 24 results are recorded as Not Acceptable. In the City's process a Not Acceptable result is an ordinary step: the inspector lists what must change and the work is re-inspected, which is why the most common outcome across the record is Acceptable Add Inspection. Most results relate to a single tenant improvement rather than the whole building. Inspector notes are The City of Calgary's own text at retrieval, with contact details removed; applicant and contractor names are never read.
