Residents given hours to evacuate 'unsafe' Miami condo

Residents were given hours to evacuate an "unsafe" Miami condo building.

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 in June. An emergency evacuation order for the 137-unit structure, which according to city records was built in 1973, was taped to the front glass door of the building in Miami's Flagami neighborhood Sunday night, giving residents just hours to pack up and get out. "This building or structure is, in the opinion of the building official, unsafe," read the notice posted on the building, at 5050 Northwest Seventh Street, just east of the city's Little Havana district. Residents were still seen packing belongings into vehicles outside the art deco-style, pink and beige building Tuesday morning, according to ABC Miami affiliate WPLG.
