The City of Aurora closed an apartment complex on Nome Street due to substantial code violations and poor conditions, displacing residents who are now struggling to find permanent housing. Many former tenants are still in hotels while others have managed to secure apartments with assistance from the city. Some residents expressed difficulty in finding new housing due to false claims of a Venezuelan gang taking over the building. The property management company, CBZ Management, is facing charges related to the code violations, with a trial postponed until 2025. The city has provided support to former tenants, including covering hotel costs through August and offering assistance through the Flexible Housing Fund. Despite challenges, some residents are grateful for the assistance they have received in finding new homes. The situation has highlighted the lack of affordable housing options in the area and the struggles faced by those displaced from the apartment complex. Overall, the closure of the complex has had a significant impact on the lives of the residents and has brought attention to the need for better housing conditions and resources for those in need.
