• Cerritos Business Center Tenants Move Toward Legal Action Over Accessibility Dispute (loscerritosnews.net) — An ongoing elevator outage at the Avanti Business Center on Studebaker Road in Cerritos has left upper-floor businesses without accessible access for nearly two months, and tenants are now preparing legal action. They say the broken elevator and blocked ADA parking tied to Kia vehicle storage are costing revenue and shutting out elderly and disabled clients, while management cites repair scheduling and materials delays. Tenants have filed federal accessibility complaints and plan to hire an attorney to demand firm deadlines.
