PEMBROKE PINES – Four
more buildings at the Heron Pond Condominiums in Pembroke
Pines have been deemed unsafe following a Local 10 News
report last month.
Residents in two of
the condo buildings were forced from their homes in August
after the structures were deemed unsafe and were given 10
days notice to get out.
Since then, four more buildings have been deemed unsafe and
residents worry it is just a matter of time before the whole
community will be told to leave for their safety.
It was in mid-August that Local 10 News first reported on
the large cracks spotted in the buildings and steel supports
shoring up balconies on nearly all 19 buildings of Heron
Pond Condominiums, located off Southwest First Street.
Residents who spoke to Local 10 back then
said they started to receive notices posted to their front
doors back in January. |

They began to worry
and since then, six of the 19 buildings on the property have
been deemed unsafe and residents have had to evacuate.
Since no significant repairs have been made to the buildings
— as of Thursday — the city of Pembroke Pines has given the
condo association a 30-day notice to provide an engineering
report of the structural integrity of the remaining 13
buildings or everyone will be ordered out.
Local 10 News reporter Roy Ramos spoke with the property
manager who was aware of the recent notice given to them by
the city, but they declined to comment any further.
