PORTLAND – The remaining low-income residents of rental units at the Eastland Park Hotel have 90 days to move out and make way for a major hotel renovation that could include a new ballroom in Congress Square Plaza . Eviction notices were sent to residents Monday. Earlier this month, about 12 tenants were still living in the hotel, said city spokeswoman Nicole Clegg . The notices came as no surprise since the hotel’s owner, Ohio- based RockBridge Capital , has been clear about its plan to convert about 50 low-income apartments into hotel guest rooms under the Westin Hotels name. The 90-day notice is 60 days longer than the residents’ leases require, said Adam Valente, senior vice president of RockBridge Capital, who noted that the investment group is making a significant donation to the city’s housing fund. The evictions will set in motion an overhaul of the 85-year-old hotel that Valente said will turn a “left-for-dead property” at a heavily traveled intersection into “a great sh...

Aug. 22 (UPI) -- A pair of North Carolina residents said they found a venomous copperhead snake and a black snake inside their apartment -- and one might still be inside. Alycia Williams said her roommate at the Vie at Raleigh apartment complex spotted the copperhead snake and the black snake slithering into her bedroom early Saturday morning . "I guess they were both right there and they killed one of them because they were trying to get the broom and sweep them outside, but the other one went up under my door and came in here," Williams told WTVD -TV. She said the dead snake was the copperhead, while the black snake might still be hiding inside the apartment. Williams, who speculated the snakes may have come in from a wooded area behind the complex, said she and her roommate have spread moth balls and "Snake-A-Way" repellent around their residence in the hopes of driving out the serpentine intruder. Managers at the apartment complex said animal control was...

Surrounding her was the home she'd made for herself and her two sons in the past year, since they moved out of her Toyota Camry and into Admiral Manor, a low- rent apartment complex in west Bremerton . There was the single bedroom with two kids' beds on the floor. The living room she'd decorated with signs that said "Hope" and "Love." A dingy bathroom with a leaking toilet that had never been fixed.

In January 2015, a massive fire in Edgewater, N.J., demonstrated that buildings with sprinkler systems are not always protected against fire. The blaze destroyed 240 residential apartments and displaced 500 people from the Edgewater Avalon apartment building . The fire began when a maintenance worker’s plumbing torch accidentally ignited wooden wall studs , and flames quickly spread throughout the structure. Fifteen minutes passed before workers called the fire department . In that time, the fire spread throughout combustible void spaces (between walls and floors) and soon engulfed the building. Emergency personnel from 35 different cities and towns ultimately responded to the incident. Thankfully, there were no fatalities. Immediately after the blaze, people asked why the fire was so devastating. The building had sprinklers, after all. Shouldn’t the sprinkler system have extinguished the fire? To make matters worse , this building had already burned down 15 years prior during i...

The sale of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin’s municipal broadband system , completes a failed experiment that left ratepayers on the hook for years of financial losses . TDS Telecommunications Corporation recently announced it had completed the purchase of the telecom assets of Sun Prairie Utilities . The network was bought for $2.88 million, slightly more than the city’s outstanding debt on the assets, Wisconsin State Journal reported . The private provider will now begin building a fiber network capable of 1 gigabit-per-second download speeds to serve the area’s residents. Madison-based TDS will offer cable and phone service, as well. “To deliver these new advanced services, we will be investing significant private capital ,” said Jim Butman, chief operating officer of TDS. The utility built a network that lost money – often significant amounts – during the majority of its years in operation, Watchdog.org reported. Sun Prairie Utilities first built a fiber ring in the late 1990s to conn...
