Cleanup Begins at West Duluth Housing Complex

The Building's Roof on West Third Street in Duluth Collapsed June 5

DULUTH, Minn. – Construction work started Friday afternoon at a West Duluth housing complex just weeks after the roof collapsed, displacing residents.

The Red Cross responded to the building on West Third Street in the Lincoln Park neighborhood during the morning of June 5.

Authorities say the building was vacant at the time of the incident.

A neighboring building was also evacuated due to safety concerns.

Now, workers will be tearing down the second story on the building to ensure future safety.

Right now, the structure is condemned for human habitation.
