LITTLE ROCK, AR – Some residents had to be evacuated from the Plaza Towers Wednesday night due to a water leak. The news comes less than 12 hours after the apartment complex was cleared for people to move back in.

The Little Rock Fire Department says a small leak on the 9th floor required residents on that floor to be evacuated.

The apartment high-rise was evacuated Monday June 11th after a large fire broke out on the first floor. One resident, Vertis Brown, died two days later from injuries she received in the fire. Wednesday afternoon, more than a week later, the apartments were reopened.

LRFD has not released the cause of the fatal fire.

I have been in this building many times. It is not safe. When it changed hands 9 years ago the new owners stopped caring about maintenance. If the city does nothing to Henry Management then we need to elect new leaders. The stair wells are poorly lit, The hallways filthy and poorly lit. Old stoves that leak gas. Huge cracks in interior walls that separate the apartments. Maybe if Little Rock would worry more about safety codes and less about people parking in their yards we would have safer buildings. But I can tell you what will happen and or what is going to happen. Little Rock will say all is well and now that the interior walls have been flooded and the elevator shafts flooded you are going to get a helluva mold problem. This will lead to more sick residents but I guess the city will turn their heads then too. They tend to ignore everything relevant.
