Hundreds Displaced After Asbestos Found In Apartment Complex

DENVER (CBS4) – Hundreds of people are in the process of moving out of their apartments because they're contaminated with asbestos.

Crews found asbestos beneath the carpet in the hallways of The Overlook at Mile High apartments located at 14th Avenue and Irving Street in Denver.

The owners are putting the tenants up in hotels until the asbestos mitigation work is complete, but it could take weeks to be completed.
