Because of the physical damage and need to secure all utilities at the building, the (unknown total number of) occupants of all 28 units will be temporarily displaced. The LAFD is shuttling residents to a temporary shelter at Montague Charter Academy (13000 Montague Street, Arleta, CA 91331), for personal comfort and needs assessment.
