TULSA, Okla. -

The owners of a Tulsa apartment complex that was forced to close because of unsafe living conditions agreed to a $400,000 settlement with former tenants.

The Tulsa Fire Department ordered the owners of Vista Shadow Mountain to clear out residents in 2021 after finding water damage incomplete walls and exposed wiring.

"I've done a survey of several buildings and the things I've seen, it's come to a critical point that the city has to do something," said Assistant Fire Marshal Captain Lorenzer Holmes in 2021.

The complex was also in danger of having its water shut off because the owners had outstanding bills. The $400,000 will be split between more than 200 former tenants who were evicted.
