The landlord at a soon-to-be-shuttered apartment complex will be served a cease-and-desist letter Wednesday after attorneys say she was telling residents they could stay despite Salt Lake City fire officials deeming the space unsafe and ordering an evacuation.
Carol Lunt, who oversees the Georgia Apartments near 200 East and 2100 South, did not immediately respond to calls from The Salt Lake Tribune. The complex was “red tagged” this week because of heating systems and smoke alarms that didn’t work and weren’t fixed after early warnings. Additionally, electrical wiring systems were not up to standards and several sprinkler pipes were at risk of freezing — and bursting — with broken windows around the buildings.
