A structural engineering firm hired by the property owners submitted a letter Monday that deemed the building structurally unsafe after months of investigation.
Aerial video showed residents leaving the building with suitcases and a police command center on the street outside the building.
The building’s owner has been conducting repairs since July, 2021 in advance of the building’s upcoming 50-year recertification inspection.
Last year, North Miami Beach officials ordered the evacuation of another condo building, the Crestview Towers, following an audit of high-rise buildings 40 years old or older after the collapse of the Champlain Towers South Condo in Surfside, Florida.
