Documented exit locations · obstruction, clearance and correction

Located observations are grouped by doorway/gate, preserving dates and correction evidence. This does not certify that every exit in the store was photographed or blocked.

LocationDatesEvidenceWhat the selected view establishes
TLE exit-marked side doorwaySeptember 23View sourceLadder lies across the marked doorway; strong dated obstruction example. Different date from the September 22 assurance.
Breakroom / Pets marked doorAugust 23; September 24View sourceStore-use ladder beside marked door; clearance needs inspection. Later image PK02 shows removal, which is retained.
Garden emergency exit gatesSeptember 22; October reportsView sourceGate is fire-exit marked; weak potting-bag example set aside as a lead. October staging reports and separate empty pallets do not establish every gate’s clear width.
Garden entrance emergency/fire exitOctober 22View sourceKyle identifies it as an emergency/fire exit and says one side was not operating. Use Other Door sign, trash bin and cleaning tools are visible; a still image does not test emergency/manual breakout operation.
Toys fire-exit doorwayOctober 5; October 22View sourceAdjacent racks/products and alarm equipment are visible. This close view does not by itself show the door blocked across its full route.
Electronics rear fire-exit doorsAugust 19; October 22View sourceThe agency has separate Electronics EXIT frames and October packet doorway views; clearance and door operation require exact frame matching, rather than treating all nearby stock as blockage.

Hardware retail ladders are a separate storage/clearance issue and are not assigned to a fire-exit location. TLE construction bay chains/barriers are also separate from the marked TLE side-door ladder.
