There ARE a bank, a laundromat, and a restaurant in the building. = A bank, a laundromat, and a restaurant ARE in the building. = Correct English. There IS a bank, a laundromat, and a restaurant in the building. = Good conversational English used by many (most?) native speakers, who use "is" because they are thinking first of the singular "bank."
