Earlier today, the City was notified of the failure of air conditioning systems in all four Imperial Village buildings. Throughout the day, the City met with the property managers to understand the details of the situation and to suggest possible paths forward for the owners to take to restore air conditioning to all buildings. 

Owners are currently working to restore the air conditioning. 15 City staff are onsite, and the Richmond Fire Department are conducting wellness checks of residents and encouraging hydration throughout the night.  

Tomorrow morning, July 7, City Staff will continue discussions with the property owners and management about the progress required to bring all four buildings up to code.
