FORT LAUDERDALE - The
remaining residents of a condominium community deemed unsafe
in Pembroke Pines have been given roughly a month to leave.

Last year, unsafe
structure notices were issued for seven buildings within the
Heron Pond Condominium community, 8400 SW 1st Street, that
have since been fully evacuated. Additionally, specific
units in the seven other buildings were also evacuated.
Those ordered to leave did not know if or when they would be
allowed to return. Each owner was required to continue
paying all bills and fees, according to the property
manager.
On Wednesday, the city said an unsafe structure notice had
been issued for all remaining units.
The city said that they were informed by the Engineer of
Record, ACG Engineering Services Inc., that the remaining
structures within the community must be evacuated. In
compliance with building and safety codes, the city issued
an order to evacuate by August 29, 2024. |

"Should the area be
placed under a tropical storm weather advisory, units must
be evacuated immediately," according to a statement from the
city.
The updated notices now impact all 304 units within the
condo community. The city said the updated notices will
affect 170 units.
"Residents and occupants of those affected units are
encouraged to communicate directly with their landlord,
owner, or the Condominium Association to address the
situation," according to the city.
