El Diablo and Sketch Restaurants Closed in Denver

Two popular Denver restaurants were shut down by the city, Friday morning.

Both El Diablo and Sketch are in a building located at 1st Avenue and Broadway.

According to the city's notice, on the doors, the building has been closed due to safety violations.

Building owner Jesse Morreale had previously been warned, in August, about the unsafe structure of the building.

After he promised to fix the problems, Denver allowed the restaurants to be kept open, but Morreale never started any of the work.
