NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FLA. — The city of North Miami Beach ordered the evacuation of a condominium building Friday after a review found unsafe conditions.
The city said in a news release that an audit prompted by the deadly collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside found the 156-unit Crestview Towers structurally and electrically unsafe.
“In an abundance of caution, the City ordered the building closed immediately and the residents evacuated for their protection, while a full structural assessment is conducted and next steps are determined,” City Manager Arthur H. Sorey III said in the news release.
The North Miami Beach Police Department was helping with the evacuation of residents of the Crestview, which was built in 1972.
