CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Residents who have been evacuated from two buildings with no power at The Algonquin apartment complex in Hyde Park are being allowed to move out permanently.
A resident of one of the buildings told CBS 2 that management said the landlord is allowing residents to break their leases and will be covering costs and moving fees.
The resident has been staying in a hotel and is looking for a new home with their partner. The city said power went out at the complex on Friday of last week and again on Saturday.
Mac Properties, the company that owns the complex, blamed the power outage on a transformer failure affecting two of their buildings. They said they were working with the city and ComEd to restore the power, but did not say when that will happen.
