Corktown Apartment Tenants Have Water and Heat Restored

Tenants of Corktown’s Victor Attar Court apartments have had their water and heat restored over the weekend. They were previously told they would have to relocate because of health and safety concerns. The building’s owner received 22 tickets amounting to $13,142, according to the city’s Buildings, Safety, Engineering and Environmental Department. The apartment residents were notified last week that if the landlord did not restore heat and water and bring the building up to code, they would have to vacate the building. Real Estate developer Emre Uralli is listed as the trustee of 1324 Porter Street Trust, the entity that bought the property when it was in foreclosure. Uralli claims he was unaware of the heating issues and the tickets. They’ve since met with inspectors and cooperating with them.
