The Roseville City Council has revoked the rental license for a 277-unit apartment complex, citing an "extraordinarily large amount of code violations" that include cockroaches, mice and potentially life-threatening problems such as missing or faulty detectors.
Residents of the Marion Street/Brittanys Apartments will be allowed to stay, but officials said new renters won't be accepted until the problems are fixed.
"That is inexcusable that people would have to be living in those conditions," said Council Member Wayne Groff, before the unanimous vote to revoke at Monday's meeting.
Officials with G&G Management, which owns the property, issued a statement saying they were "working diligently to address" concerns.

CHASKA
City to host free community dinner
A community gathering called "Celebrate! A Holiday Feast and Conversation," organized to help Chaska residents build connections while tasting a variety of foods, will be held 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Chaska Event Center.
The event is sponsored by the city of Chaska, Eastern Carver County Schools Community Education and Minneapolis-based Marnita's Table, an organization that aims to decrease disparities among people of different backgrounds.
Demographic differences surfaced in the Eastern Carver County district last spring after complaints that students were being subjected to racism at school.
