A New Haven apartment building was evacuated Monday after concerns the roof might collapse under the weight of heavy snow.
City building officials responded to 335 Fountain Street and condemned the building. The snow on the roof is pushing bricks down and making the building unsafe, according to James Eggert, New Haven Assistant Building Inspector.
In all, 18 people, including 10 children from a dozen apartment were affected. They have been moved to a local hotel with the help of the Red Cross.
Several structures in Connecticut have collapsed under the weight of snow left behind by this weekend's blizzard.
