Description

A report from Portland's Ombudsman's office found that the Portland Fire Bureau failed to adequately document the approval process for an affordable Condiminium complex.

Residents’ concerns about whether their affordable housing complex in Southeast Portland meets fire-safety codes led to a city investigation that found that the development was approved shortly before requirements changed — and also identified ongoing concerns about how parked cars might block large fire trucks from being able to reach the property.
