(Pittsburgh, PA) The Jefferson Apartments in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh got hit with a huge fire on Tuesday which caused as many as thirty people to be displaced, and now plans are set to demolish that building. This building is located on Forward Avenue and as of noon yesterday, firefighters from Pittsburgh were still pouring water on the Jefferson Apartments. According to Pittsburgh city officials, if the building owner failed to take “significant action” by the end of the day yesterday, the Pittsburgh Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections will initiate a city-led demolition, paid out of the city’s general fund, which could begin as soon as today.
