Aurora has threatened to shut down two troubled apartment complexes unless their owners take responsibility for deteriorating conditions and install an in-person presence on the properties.
The complexes at issue are The Edge at Lowry, located at East 12th Avenue and Dallas Street, and Whispering Pines, at East 13th Avenue and Helena Street. CBZ Management operates both complexes, which have suffered a severe lack of maintenance along with concerns about the presence of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
On Thursday, Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor offered two police officers at each property for two weeks and possibly longer, but only if the owner installs an on-site property manager at each location. That’s according to Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, who said he toured the properties on Sunday.
