Miami officials are rushing to find temporary housing for residents evacuated from a residential building that was deemed unsafe, a city spokeswoman says. Buildings in the area have come under increased scrutiny since the Surfside condo collapse in June.
The 138-unit building is located on Seventh Street in the Flagami neighborhood, just south of Blue Lagoon and Miami International Airport, spokeswoman Stephanie Severino said. It's about 6 miles west of Biscayne Bay, much farther inland than the Surfside building that is under investigation after experiencing a deadly collapse in June.
