During 2017 Tornedo hit the apartment complex and caused a considerable damage. The US President declared Harris County as a disaster area in 2017. BC spent a considerable amount in cleaning asbestos removal in 2017. Half the units became inhabitable. BC returned the security deposits of the tenants and the tenants moved out. Only half of the units are rented out since July 1, 2017. The insurance company so far has paid $2.5 million in 2017. The insurance company is coming back in 2018 to determine the amount of loss.
