The Salt Lake City Fire Marshal has extended the 24-hour safety “Fire Watch” at the Georgia Apartments, officials said, and residents now have until Saturday at noon to completely evacuate.
Some 31 occupied units at the Georgia Apartments were evacuated Monday after the Fire Marshal issued a “Red Tag” order on the property.
The apartments, at 203 E. 2100 South, were deemed unsafe to occupy, said a news release from Salt Lake City Fire Department.
“This order is a result of repeated and unheeded requests by the SLCFD to the property owner to bring the building up to fire code,” the news release said. Wednesday, the Salt Lake City Division of Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) reported it successfully engaged 30 of the occupied units at the Georgia Apartments with a housing plan to facilitate an evacuation order of the property.
