DENVER — People who live in an apartment building in Denver's Five Points neighborhood have been without water for several days.
Residents can't wash dishes, take showers, or even use the bathroom in their own apartments. Instead, they have to use one of the portable restrooms that were brought in by apartment management. To take showers, they must go to a neighboring building, which is also part of the same apartment complex. Tenants have also been using an outdoor water hose at the neighboring building to fill up buckets or jugs of water to bring back to their apartments.
Cornish doesn’t blame local management but expected more from the apartment’s corporate owner, Greystar. Rebecca Cohn, an attorney with the Community Economic Defense Project, which provides legal resources to tenants, said under Colorado’s Warranty of Habitability Law, landlords must begin making repairs after tenants notify them about a problem in writing.
“Unfortunately, a pipe burst has caused some interruptions in water service while the repairs are being made. We have provided options and help to the impacted residents which includes a monetary concession. We anticipate the repairs to be complete and to restore water this evening . We apologize for any inconvenience to our residents,” the statement said.Cohn said if you have questions about your rights as a tenant, reach out to an attorney.
