Residents have been forced to leave a Sydney high-rise apartment complex due to concerns over reports of movement in the building.
About three-quarters of the occupants living in the 122-apartment Mascot Towers on Bourke Street in the inner-south Sydney suburb Mascot have been told to get out. "There has been some concern with movement in the building," NSW Fire and Rescue Superintendent Adam Dewberry told AAP on Friday night.Engineers are inspecting the decade-old building after concerns about its integrity and signs of movement, he said."There have may have been an ongoing issue but it is still a matter to be determined," he said.
This is alarming. There needs to be a investigation or inquiry into the process of approving building designs and the supervision and approval of the actual construction. Who is accountable? What recourse do owners have?
