Dozens of residents of the 33-storey St. James Town high-rise at 260 Wellesley St. are out of their homes tonight because of a burst pipe in the building’s electrical room. The situation is being watched by Toronto’s Office of Emergency Management but there is apparently no time-frame for a return of power. CP24 says the building is managed by the same firm that is responsible for an apartment building on Parliament Street that was the site of an electrical fire in September. That fire displaced 1,500 residents and those people have not yet been able to move back into their units. As reflected in the tweets, there is little information available to the tenants.
