Residents Ordered to Evacuate North Bay Village Condo Building Deemed Unsafe

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.
