Approximately 400 residents of an off-campus apartment complex were displaced Wednesday night when city inspectors deemed its units uninhabitable due to city building code violations.
On Wednesday, city of Boulder building inspectors determined that nearly all of the 96 units at Sterling University Peaks apartments uninhabitable after a recent renovation. The property manager asked students to find temporary accommodations for the night. Construction crews worked through the night to remedy the building code violations.
Earlier today, the city declared all 96 units were again habitable, and students began moving back into the complex at 2985 E. Aurora Ave.
The university has closely monitored the situation with the city of Boulder to support students during this time. It’s important that students know about their rights and responsibilities as tenants.
To that end, Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations and Student Legal Services will hold an informational meeting next week with students to advise them on their rights and responsibilities as off-campus tenants.
All students interested in learning more are invited to attend a meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 22, at the University Memorial Center, Room 235. The informational session and question-and-answer period will be open to current CU Boulder students only. All attendees must present a Buff OneCard at the door.
