The Press of Atlantic City reported residents were moved to Boardwalk Hall while crews tried to repair the building.
The fire in the high-rise in the city's inlet section began around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday because of an electrical problem.
The fire itself was put out quickly and damage was confined to the third and fourth floors. But power to the entire building was shut down and all the residents were evacuated.
