The site of a derelict Kmart building that went up in flames in the Parkrose neighborhood two weeks ago had an open code enforcement violation with the city. Records show the Portland Bureau of Development Services (BDS) sent RFC Joint Venture, the property’s owner, a violation notice on July 6, directing owners to “board-up or otherwise secure” the “open and vacant” building. A city inspector was scheduled to re-inspect the property on or after July.

When a former Kmart building in a vacant lot at Northeast 122nd Avenue and Sandy Boulevard went up in flames Wednesday, residents of the surrounding Parkrose and Argay Terrace neighborhoods were concerned. In addition to the thick, black smoke billowing above the area, neighbors reported finding large chunks of ash in their gardens and nearby Luuwit View Park. Confirming their fears was a notice released last night by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
