More than 100 people in Miami are looking for new homes after a fire destroyed dozens of units at an apartment complex this week. Residents said they were doubly incensed after learning that the complex had no property insurance.
Local news outlets reported that Miami Gardens-area complex on NW 177th Street went up in flames Saturday morning. The roof collapsed on dozens of units and many people escaped with few of their belongings.
On Monday, the property manager reportedly told residents that after tenants recently balked at paying a fee for the building’s 40-year inspection and recertification, the property had its insurance canceled, according to Local10.com, a TV news station.
More than 50 people from the complex found shelter at a recreational complex about five miles away, the Miami Herald reported. The American Red Cross and other aide organizations assisted residents with resources.
Fire officials were investigating the cause of the blaze.
