DENVER (KDVR) — An off-campus student housing building that closed last month due to the unapproved addition of bedrooms to each unit has been restored to its originally approved condition.
The Building, located at 891 12th St., is currently known as the Ash House and historically known as the Marpa House.

Initially, the city approved plans to convert the building into 16 three-bedroom apartments. Last month, a tenant complaint informed the city’s Code Compliance Division of the Planning and Development Service Department of “a new and serious violation of an illegal division of living space.”
On Sept 16, the city of Boulder notified the tenants that the building would be closed due to unapproved modifications . The city said the owners constructed 15 bedrooms without building permits, land use approval or life-safety inspections.
At the time, the city said no one was allowed to live there until the units were restored to approved and permitted conditions. The closure would have displaced some 60 student renters, forcing at least 13 of them to find new permanent housing.
