A North Miami Beach
condominium building was being evacuated Monday after it was
deemed to be structurally unsafe, city officials said.
The owners of Bayview 60 Homes at 3800 Northeast 168th
Street requested the city order an immediate evacuation of
residents from the five-story building, the city said in a
statement.
Footage showed residents leaving the building with suitcases
and a police command center on the street outside the
building.
The request was made after a structural engineer firm hired
by the property owners submitted a letter Monday that deemed
the building structurally unsafe after months of
investigation.
The letter advised of critical structural issues and said a
"deflection in the elevation of the building’s floor slabs
was required," the city said. |

The owner had been
repairing units since July in advance of the building's
upcoming 50-year recertification inspections.

Last year, North Miami
Beach officials ordered the evacuation of another condo
building, the Crestview Towers, following an audit of
high-rise buildings 40-years-old or older after the collapse
of the Champlain Towers South condo in Surfside.
