County records show a building permit for accessory buildings and miscellaneous structures at 534 36th St in Union City. The reported construction cost is $95,000. Accessory structures are usually smaller add-on buildings that support a main use, such as sheds, canopies or storage structures.

The county lists 132,867 square feet of non-residential space for the site. That figure probably describes the whole property and not the new structures. A $95,000 budget points to a small addition. The records do not say what is on the site now or who will use the new structures.

No developer website, news coverage, hearing notice or approval decision was found for this project.

What it could mean nearby

The $95,000 cost suggests a small addition, so large changes to traffic, schools or utilities are unlikely.
