We consider quasimodes on planar domains with a partially rectangular boundary. We prove that for any $\epsilon_0>0$, an $\O(\lambda^{-\epsilon_0})$ quasimode must have $L^2$ mass in the "wings" bounded below by $\lambda^{-2-\delta}$ for any $\delta>0$. The proof uses the author's recent work on 0-Gevrey smooth domains to approximate quasimodes on $C^{1,1}$ domains. There is an improvement for $C^{2,\alpha}$ domains.
