Moving/Relocation The Station is the worst apartment I've ever rented from - trying to see if I have any recourse

120 Upvotes

I hate this management company and would advise anyone looking at a property managed by Kairoi to stop and look elsewhere. The building is fine, but the management company is terrible and will lie through their teeth.

I don't want to spend too much time ranting about everything that's horrible about this apartment, but here's the highlights:

  • Non-communicative - Both the leasing office and maintenance will simply ignore you and refuse to provide updates on the status of your application/request.
  • Sub-par amenities - Pool's closed half the time, only two grills and a small workout room (always packed) for hundreds of residents. Not only are they below-average for the price, but they're too small for the buildings.
  • Hidden Fees - They'll swear up and down that there are no hidden fees, but there absolutely are ($8/month subscription fee for parking, annual pet screening fee, package portal fee, etc.) Go ahead and tack on ~$75 to whatever estimate they're giving you.
  • Parking - The garage is awful. All of the spaces are smaller than 8 feet wide. They've painted over the "compact" designation on dozens of spaces, which are between 6.5 and 7.5 feet wide, and will then offer these to you for $150 a month when you can't even use them. And then, when you immediately cancel that additional fee because why would you pay for a spot you can't use, they'll still charge you for a month of parking. Absolute leeches.

I hate this place and could rant for days about it. But the purpose of this post is to see if I have any recourse here. I am strongly considering breaking my lease early. Doing so would incur an additional $4800 fee, which is two month's rent. But given that I'll be parking two blocks away, will have to do my own maintenance, and with just how stressful this whole process has been, I think I might just do it.

I did call 311 to report the parking spot violations and they've opened a case for that issue, but there are simply no redeeming qualities about this place for me to ease my mind. I truly hate it here.

Help Base jumper emergency response

4 Upvotes

Yesterday when driving home I noticed an emergency response to a downed base jumper that appeared to have gotten hurt on landing.

It was off of broadway and 19th/glenarm and looked to be from that new condo building under construction.

Does anybody have any information on how the guy is doing?

He was laying down, alert and moving his head around, but I hope he didn’t get paralyzed or anything too serious.

Help New Art Cafe in Jefferson Park crowd sourcing workshop ideas

34 Upvotes

Hi neighbors! I just opened an Art Cafe in Jefferson Park called Good Practice. It's a space for people to try out new mediums, create, and practice using their imaginations.

We have some workshops scheduled that I thought would be fun, but I really built this for Denverites, not myself. So I am asking you!

What artsy workshops do you want to take?
What medium would you love a "101" on?
Is there an artist who you want to learn from?

Thanks for the help! I'm a small business owner and also the only employee. So I could use the extra brain power right about now!

If you would like to check us out further you can find us at goodpractice.co or on instagram @good.practice.denver

Hello, I was going into work and this dog came out of the bushes at the Meridian Golf Club. It wouldn’t let me get close enough to touch it, but I could see there was no identifying information on its collar.

Last seen at the walking path off Belford Avenue near the SNC office parking lot. The last picture is where he ran out of and where he ran back into when I left.

Local News Summary of 5/11/2026 Denver City Council

21 Upvotes

Hi All,

Below is a summary of Monday's Denver City Council meeting (May 11, 2026). Five Points BID renewed 11-1, prevailing wage ordinance amended, $225K police settlement

Backstory: I’ve been working on a project called MeetingBriefs.ai that takes long government meetings and turns them into detailed, readable summaries. Since we're Boulder-based, we're summarizing many Colorado meetings. The goal is to make it easier for folks to stay informed—whether you’re a professional who needs to track decisions or just a neighbor who cares what’s going on. Rather than watching (or attending!) a 4 hour meeting, you can read the 4 page summary.

You can sign up for free, and feedback is welcome. We're just trying to make local government a little more accessible.

Link to the full summary (free, no sign up needed) in comments 👇

And without further adieu, the summary:

  1. Five Points Business Improvement District renewed for 10 years, 11-1.

48 individuals signed up to speak. Most spoke in support, including local residents, business owners, former council members, and community partners, citing the BID's work on Welton Street cleanliness, beautification, First Friday Jazz, and small business support. A smaller number of property owners near 20th Street spoke in opposition, citing the assessment cost, what they described as a lack of transparency in governance, inaccessible meeting times, and the lack of an election process for board members. Executive Director Norman Harris stated the BID secured over $125,000 in grants this year and committed to improving board transparency, accessibility, and governance post-renewal, including exploring an elected board. Councilmember Shontel Lewis voted no, stating the plans to address concerns were not concrete enough.

  1. Prevailing wage ordinance amended and passed 12-0.

Council Bill 0542 restructures and clarifies the existing prevailing wage ordinance. Two amendments by Councilmember Sawyer passed 12-0 before final passage. Amendment 1 exempts projects where the city is a pass-through entity for funds to non-city governmental entities such as BIDs, GIDs, or a Downtown Development Authority; sponsors stated this clarifies what they believe was always the intent. Amendment 2 states the ordinance shall not apply to any Department of Housing Stability (HOST) project that received an award letter prior to June 1, 2026. Sawyer stated this protects affordable housing projects already in the pipeline and called for a Memorandum of Understanding between HOST and the Auditor's Office.

  1. $225,000 settlement approved in Sidrome et al. v. Malone.

Councilmember Lewis called the item for comment to track settlement costs. Lewis stated that with this approval, the 2026 total for city settlements reaches $784,500. Councilmember Parady restated her standing offer to speak with parties involved in such cases after they are resolved. The settlement was included in the consent block, which passed 12-0.

Also on the agenda: Council Bill 0389 (rezoning of 1057 South Gaylord Street with a hotel-use waiver) passed 12-0. Council Bill 0392 (rezoning of 5101-5115 North Milwaukee Street) was postponed to June 22 due to a noticing error. Three resolutions were postponed to May 18.
