Two more fall sick with Legionnaires disease in north Portland historic building

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - Two more people at a historic Portland building have become sick with Legionnaires disease.

Ten residents at Rosemont Court fell ill with the disease in January and one of them died. Now, two more are sick. Building managers say they can’t find a source for the disease.

Some residents say they don’t want to leave and like calling Rosemont Court home.

“It’s so quiet here and it’s just peaceful,” said Kathy DeTorres, who has lived in the building for just more than a year.

But, around 95 residents are being told if they want to leave, they will be offered permanent relocation assistance.
