Residents of a troubled apartment building in Langford have once again had to vacate the property due to safety concerns with the building.
On Monday afternoon, residents of RidgeView Place, formerly known as Danbrook One, were told to leave.
The notice came after the city received a report from a third-party engineering firm "completed an initial visual inspection of the building and concluded that the structure is unsafe." The firm added that in the interest of public safety, it recommended that no one live in the building until a more detailed analysis could be completed.
"As a result, the city made the decision to revoke the occupancy permit and instructed Centurion to notify residents immediately," said the city in a release Monday.
