Residents of apartments along a block of North Adams Street in Wilmington need to find alternate housing after their homes were condemned by the city Monday.

Apartments on the 800 block of North Adams Street were investigated by the city's Department of Licenses and Inspection, after a part of a wall collapsed between two of the buildings Sunday night, according to Wilmington Deputy Chief of Staff John Rago.

Following the inspection, seven buildings, all owned by A.J. Pokorny, had notices placed on their front doors, saying they were unfit for housing.

Twenty-seven units are affected, and it's unclear how many total people live in those residences.

Tenants were advised to pack overnight bags, and Rago said most of the residents went with family, friends, a hotel, or the New Castle County Hope Center.
