Heat and electricity restored to over half of Rock Island apartment building
UPDATE: Power has been restored to the entire building as of 4:15 p.m. on Thursday.
EARLIER UPDATE: Power and heat have been restored to most of the Sala Flats apartment building in Rock Island. An executive with the ownership company says about 60% of the building has electricity and heat again. The executive says emergency housing is available to the tenants at a local hotel, and the property owners are reimbursing tenants for food during the outage. Technicians are waiting for more parts to finish the job.
A downtown Rock Island apartment building has been without electricity since Monday.
Sala Flats on 19th St. lost heat and electricity at around 5:00 p.m. January 15, according to the apartment building manager and multiple tenants living in the building. The building manager says MidAmerican Energy is working on fixing the electrical issue, but there is no estimated time to when the issues will be fixed. Our Quad Cities News spoke with tenants living in Sala Flats who say the building manager is informing them to find another place to stay until the building’s electrical problems are fixed.
The building recently received $4.6 million in upgrades in 2023 to preserve and upgrade the building.
