7h agoSome West Orange apartments will be torn down due to the
impact of the remnants of Hurricane Ida.
On Monday, dozens of families who live in 275 Northfield
Ave. were told to evacuate just before midnight. They were told that the
property was unstable and were forced to leave with only some belongings.
They have been staying in hotels since. The storm six weeks
ago triggered a rockslide and downed tree behind the apartment building. The
hillside, just a few feet away from the building, is apparently the source of
the issue.
Residents told News 12 that they were told the situation
can't be rectified until the building is demolished. They have been able to
pick up belongings at designated times.
News 12 has reached out to the property manager for comment.
