Welcome to you new home!
Firefighters suspected the cause of the CO buildup at the complex could be traced to the underground parking garage and a malfunctioning underground ventilation system. The breakdown would have allowed exhaust fumes to seep into common hallways. Ventilating the garage and hallways cut the CO levels in the building approximately in half, but MFD’s statement noted “they could not definitively prove that this was the source.” 
While the suspected reason was found underground, the carbon monoxide detector that sensed it – and spurred the firefighters’ response – was on the sixth floor. MFD indicated that was the only alarm that went off because of the high levels of the deadly gas. However, when the first engine company entered the building shortly before midnight, their air monitors quickly picked up on it as soon as they went into the lobby. Firefighters’ first readings started around 18 ppm before increasing to 60 ppm, at which point, firefighters pulled the fire alarm to get everyone out of the building. They also called MG&E and the property manager.   
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, sustained levels above 70 ppm can lead to symptoms like headache, fatigue, and nausea. If levels start topping 150 to 200 ppm, an individual is at risk of becoming disoriented, passing out, or dying.

The Keller Real Estate Group’s proposal is among the first tests of the city’s new Mifflandia Neighborhood Plan and zoning for the corridor of two- and three-story houses — converted to student dwellings long ago — that aesthetically tie the Bassett and Mifflin neighborhoods that meet along the 400 and 500 blocks of West Washington Avenue. 
“The market has been pretty good in Downtown Madison,” David Keller said. “We’re seeing continued interest in people wanting to reside there. It’s a continuation of what’s been going on and we’re excited to be part of it. This is going to be a nice addition to the whole neighborhood.”
Keller is proposing to demolish six houses between 504 and 516 W. Washington Ave. and three more houses between 8 and 14 N. Bassett St. for the six-story, H-shaped structure, which would offer first-floor commercial space at the corner, 103 apartments and 100 structured parking spaces.
