It was a fine line. The first building was on a hill so the lower level had it own parking accessible route and entrance and was a different business ( Ortho DR and PT) than the owner (dental surgery) who occupied the main floor. The upper floor was not scheduled to be completed and occupied by the owners son (Optometrist) for 24 months.
The other was a church that constructed a new building between two 70 year old buildings making them all one. There was a small existing elevator however it is on a long accessible route from the main entrance to use it and did not meet today's requirements for an accessible elevator. It has been 16 months since the church occupied the building and I heard they have raised 80% of the cost of the elevator and will be going out to bid this winter for the work.
