The City of Columbus had repeatedly cited the complex for extensive health code violations.
For over a year, the Latitude Five25 apartments have stood vacant after burst pipes caused heating and electrical problems.

“We are in desperate need for more housing, and the community would like to be part of that conversation," said Near East Side Area Commission Chair Kate Curry-Da-Souza.
Families forced to evacuate from Latitude Five25 apartments will receive settlement payments starting April 1st.
