The building was supposed to be an upgrade for employees who work in the permitting office, but the building is now closed because of dozens of code compliance and permit failures.
A Dallas City Council committee will hold a meeting next week to address questions about an office tower in the city purchased for $14 million in 2022."Staff needs to get their act together on this," said Dallas city councilman Chad West.The City of Dallas bought the 11-story building at 7800 North Stemmons Freeway for $14 million and has invested $7 million more since.
Broadnax and assistant city manager Majed Al-Ghafry presented the proposal to purchase the Stemmons building to city council members in August 2022.West says their current building on Jefferson is a bad work environment."City staff should be working in a place where they feel safe, they feel empowered to do their best. One of the problems with the current permit office is it is one of the most depressing places to work I've ever seen.
