All residents of the
Majestic Isle Condominium at 7946 East Drive will have to
evacuate before 10 a.m. on April 25, village officials said
Thursday.
Residents of a
waterfront condominium in North Bay Village have been
ordered to evacuate after the building was deemed
structurally unsafe, officials said.
All residents of the Majestic Isle Condominium at 7946 East
Drive will have to evacuate before 10 a.m. on April 25,
village officials said Thursday.
Village officials said they received a letter late Wednesday
night from a building engineer, who was hired by the condo
to perform a recertification, that raised serious concerns
about the condition of the building.
The Majestic Isle Condominium was built in 1960 and has 36
units total and around 55 residents.
The report cited sagging floors and termite damage found
during the inspection, which was undertaken in anticipation
of the building's required 60-year certification, officials
said. |

In addition, a recent
leak from a roof drain caused a partial ceiling collapse at
the condo last week, in which residents from five units were
evacuated, officials said.
Only 31 units have
been occupied since the collapse. Village officials went
door-to-door to inform the remaining residents about the
evacuation.
