Homeowners at Heron Pond Condo complex in Pembroke Pines ordered to vacate no late than August 29
Pembroke Pines, Florida – Residents of a condo complex in Pembroke Pines that was flagged as unsafe now have about a month to move out. Last year, notices indicating unsafe structures were sent out for seven buildings at Heron Pond Condominiums, located at 8400 SW 1st Street, and those buildings are now empty. Some apartments in seven other buildings there were also cleared out. The people who had to evacuate didn’t know if they would ever be able to go back. Despite this, they were still expected to pay all their bills and fees, as directed by the property manager.
This Wednesday, the city announced that notices of unsafe structures have been issued for all the remaining units. They received information from ACG Engineering Services Inc., the engineering company on record, that these parts of the complex also need to be evacuated.
Following building and safety regulations, the city has set a deadline for everyone to leave by August 29, 2024.
“Should the area be placed under a tropical storm weather advisory, units must be evacuated immediately,” according to a statement from the city.
