RETRIEVER TOWING, Portland, OR is in Violation for Building Code Violations - Notice of Violation has been sent. This is a big deal

 I have it on good word that RETRIEVER TOWING  got a violation notice for NOT GETTING PERMITS for the building they have been working in for years

THEY GOT GOT BUILDING PERMITS when they set up their operation on NW Quimby and/or NW 16th St.  I am told: The mix up in the address is that they originally put their building as a NW 16th address, Portland and got an initial inspection.  They were told they needed ADA upgrades which include ramps, Handicapped bathroom, etc.  THEY NEVER DID THE UPGRADES OR HAD ANOTHER INSPECTION.  They opened the business WITHOUT ANY MORE INSPECTIONS AND/OR PERMITS. 

Retriever Towing has been OPERATING IN AN UNPERMITTED BUILDING SINCE THEY OPENED THE NW 16TH ST and/or NW Quimby St, building for over 7 years.  WHAT THEY DID IS VERY ILLEGAL. 

When I was told this.  I was thinking, "What kind of Million Dollar Business would be dumb enough to operate in a major city WITHOUT GETTING PERMITS for their place of business.  I thought it was a joke.

After research:  What will happen now: 
Retriever has 30 DAYS from getting the violation notice to GET THE NEEDED PERMITS TO MEET THE BUILDING AND ADA STANDARDS REQUIRED BY STATE AND LOCAL LAWS.

Retriever then had 6 MONTHS to complete the remodel or build that will meet the building and ADA standards. 

IF THEY IGNORE THE 30 DAY TIMELINE AND/OR 6 MONTH TIMELINE:  Retriever will start getting fines.  It appears they can be major fines and it could result on a LIEN on the property.

I am told this is a major deal and will be quite expensive.
