Lauderhill Building Officials Extend Brampton Courts Evacuation Deadline For a Second Time....

On Tuesday, June 22nd, the City of Lauderhill Building Officials deemed the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of all four of the Brampton Court buildings unsafe - 1980 NW 46 Avenue, 4591 NW 19 Street, 1981 NW 43 Terrace, and 4391 NW 19 Street. Residents were notified to move out by Friday, the 25th of June by noon if they resided above the 1st floor. With only one of the eight elevators in service, City Fire and Building Officials deemed the facilities unlivable because of deteriorated staircases.

Yesterday, the Building and Fire Officials witnessed progress toward minimizing life safety issues in some of the staircases. Based on those developments the deadline was extended until Saturday, June 26th. After today’s continued progress the City has extended the evacuation deadline by another 24 hours, where residents have until Sunday, June 27, 2010, by noon to vacate the property. In the meantime, Officials will continue to closely monitor progress until the property is in compliance and the residents are safe. An around- the-clock Fire Watch is still effect.

Residents can call the Family Success Center at 954-357-6367 and Legal Aid at 954-765-8950 for assistance.
