The city of North Miami Beach, Florida, ordered residents to evacuate the 156-unit Crestview Towers on Friday after the building was deemed structurally and electrically unsafe, according to AP.
Why it matters: The inspection was prompted by the collapse of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida, last week, which has killed at least 22 people and has left 126 unaccounted for.
