Controversial Aurora apartments may be forced to close

Letter from chief says apartments in Aurora will be closed if property owner doesn’t make changes 00:54

The residents who live in apartment buildings in Aurora, which has been thrust into the discussion about immigration to the United States, may soon need to find a new place to live.

On Thursday afternoon, CBS Colorado obtained a letter sent to the owners of the property on E 12th Avenue and Dallas Street from the Aurora Police Department, which gives them an ultimatum. Clean up the buildings, or they may face closure. The city of Aurora and residents or the property say property managers have abandoned the complex and are providing no services whatsoever.

“These children, their families, these workers are going to have their futures robbed from them in so many ways,” said V Reeves with Housekeys Action Network.

They have been working with residents at the complex to get the owner to take responsibility for his buildings. They say if the buildings are closed, people will be out on the street.
