The City of Hobart on Tuesday officially declared uninhabitable an apartment building it put under a “Do Not Occupy” order Monday, leaving at least 24 people homeless.
Residents of the building at 215 East St. reconvened in its parking lot Tuesday afternoon as representatives from Hobart’s building and fire departments, as well as a general contractor and an industrial cleaning company representative, determined the scope of the damage. A building department employee affixed the final notice to the door.
Firefighters conducted the wellness check on an elderly woman who lived in a basement apartment at a 100-year-old, 11-unit apartment building at 215 East St., just east of downtown, sometime after noon July 11, city officials said at the scene. Firefighters first discovered that the windows to the basement had been boarded and sealed shut.
Gore also told the group that he would write the leaseholders checks for their last month’s rent and deposit. After first telling them they needed to pick them up at his office in Valparaiso, building manager Hailee Stover brought the checks to the building. Dazed and scared, residents congregated in its parking lot Monday evening as city officials scrambled to find them shelter. A local plumbing company left after temporarily stopping the water as family members and friends brought over boxes so the residents could take at least some of their belongings to wherever they ended up staying.
