Parking
What the City’s own tariff record says about kerbside parking beside this parcel.
Residential permit parking zone P. The centre of this parcel falls inside a City residential parking zone, so nearby residential streets are permit-restricted and are not available for all-day staff parking. Check the signs for the hours that apply.
No Active paid on-street parking zone lies within 200 m of this parcel in the City’s tariff dataset. That is not a statement that parking is unavailable: free, permit-only and off-street parking are not recorded in this source.

An inspection result is a record of one visit, not a verdict on the building. 5 of these 34 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.
