Residents of an eight-story condominium in Miami were given hours to evacuate after city inspectors deemed the building 'unsafe'—the latest residential structure in the area cleared out since the deadly collapse of a tower in nearby Surfside.
The building is about 16 miles from Champlain Towers South, the 12-story oceanfront condominium that partially collapsed before dawn on June 24, killing 98 people. What remained of that building was demolished, and an investigation is underway into what caused the disaster.
The building on on Northwest Seventh Street was put on notice on July 7 after city inspectors found several violations, including not obtaining a 40-year recertification, according to theCity building officials met on July 26 with residents"who were concerned about the condition of the building," an official told the newspaper.
During a meeting on Monday with the building's condo association and engineer, city inspectors"found the columns to be structurally insufficient" and ordered the building to be vacated, the Herald reported.
