a condominium of Miami BeachFlorida, was evacuated on Thursday (27) after a structural inspection, with residents just hours to leave.
City officials posted an unsafe structure warning on the Port Royale building and said damage to a concrete beam in the garage prompted the order for residents to leave immediately.
The order comes more than a year after 98 people were killed in nearby Surfside when a large part of the Champlain Towers South building collapsed in the middle of the night.
Photos in an inspection report of the Miami Beach building evacuated this week show evidence of structural damage and water leakage near electrical junctions, according to the document provided to the WPLG.
Inspectors said repair work is estimated to take 10 days before the building is ready for another inspection to see if residents can return, the report states.
Port Royale has 164 units, the WPLG reported.
