MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – The residents of an apartment building in North Miami Beach’s Eastern Shores gated community are suddenly homeless on Monday.

Police officers started to evacuate the building along Northeast 167th Street, near Northeast 25h Avenue, over safety concerns.

“They said, ‘Grab anything light and get out of here,’” said Clara Ulffe, a resident. “I have my other sister who has four children. This is crazy.”

According to Miami-Dade County property records, the building is part of the Beach Club Villas Condo subdivision. There were 55 units occupied in the building.

Management promised to return April’s rent to the tenants within the next two days.
