Demolishing El Chapultepec, Landlord Watch: Algorithm Edition, and Your Bike Lane Comments

When Denver’s most historic jazz club was sold in 2021, developer Kenneth Monfort said he didn’t want to “erase El Chapultepec out of the history books.” But now, the real estate mogul says the building will have to be demolished. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are talking about the future of The ‘Pec, then our latest edition of Landlord Watch highlights a new bill that could stop the use of algorithms to determine rent prices, plus tenants at the Welton Park apartments have been without hot water for a week?! And listeners respond to the ongoing drama that is the Broadway bike lane.

Paul mentioned a post on X from former DPS board vice president Auon’tai Anderson about the water situation on Welton Street, as well as a 9News report on the building and a piece from Business Insider on the business benefits of bike lanes. Bree mentioned the “junk fee” lawsuit we discussed back in January.
