Google maps information for gateway tc is lacking, so i understand why the report was rejected. Here is some more information
This building at Gateway Transit Center used to be a leased snack/cafe vendor, hence the awning in the photo, back when this mural was in place. Sometime last year there was an incident with the building. I could not and still cannot find news or other details (probably since such things are so common in Portland) but I saw the aftermath myself- the windows were smashed and the garage style door the mural was on was damaged so badly they had it boarded up. It stayed that way for months until they fixed it, and presumably converted the building to general storage. The doors they installed are a different style and the mural is completely gone.
While some parts of the building have changed (like the Ac vent) it is the same structure, as evidence by the brick style and the proximity to the safety rails. I have photos from 2 seperate days because i am on the train so if i miss my shot, thats it!
The original stop in question
The updated building, photo 1 showing the structure itself and photo 2 showing the rails (with bricks visible) to help verify location.
