Miami courthouse closes after engineering firm identifies safety issues
The Miami-Dade County Courthouse began undergoing immediate repairs on Friday after an engineering firm that examined the 28-story building identified safety concerns with various floors. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade Circuit Court Chief Judge Nushin G. Sayfie and Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts Harvey Ruvin announced they had asked engineers to assess all county buildings in response to the June 24 condo building collapse in Surfside, Florida. They said floors 16 and above of the courthouse will be closed and all staff will return to working from home until repairs are completed. All court business will also be conducted remotely.
