Hundreds of residents of a Miami condo building were ordered to evacuate by Tuesday morning after city officials deemed the building unsafe.
Residents began removing their belongings Monday night from the 138-unit building at 5050 NW Seventh St. in Flagami, a district on the western edge of the city, the Miami Herald reported.
The evacuation comes weeks after 98 people died in the collapse of the Champlain Towers South in nearby Surfside. Since that June 24 collapse, officials in South Florida and across the state launched safety inspections of older high-rises. Several South Florida buildings have been evacuated because of structural concerns.
