The tenants were living in the third-floor attic of the building. According to a written release, the city went to court to get the removal order. City fire inspector Kent Mitchell said concerns about fire safety at the building were first brought to the city's attention in 2016. "The fire department worked closely with the occupants and the owners to establish the extent of potential violations. A hazard compliance order was issued due to extensive fire code violations throughout the building," he said, in the written statement.
