Thirty-seven people have been displaced and several others were told not to go on their balconies after the roof of an apartment building in Northwest Miami-Dade partially collapsed.

The Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) and a County building official were on the scene at 17500 N.W. 68th Avenue where Code Compliance inspectors were on Friday morning and where a sign deemed the building “unsafe.”

The collapse happened on Thursday afternoon at one of the buildings in the Lakeview Garden Condominium.
