Overview
- The court authorized Prince George’s County to enforce evictions covering roughly 100 of the nearly 200 units within 14 days.
- Judge Bryon Bereano ordered immediate electrical repairs, a fence breach to be secured, and daily vandalism logs to fire officials, with the complex remaining on overnight fire watch.
- About half the building has lacked central heat since late November, and widespread power failures followed when residents relied on space heaters.
- Financing for comprehensive repairs fell through after a Dec. 10 finding that many units were unfit for habitation, leaving the condo association and manager without funds.
- Quasar links the breakdowns to repeated vandalism tied to a nearby homeless encampment that reappeared after a Jan. 21 sweep, and a March 17 hearing will review progress as the county may need to remove residents who refuse to leave.
