Repairs underway at Cedar Rapids vacant Westhill Village apartments
New owner has begun repairs on Westhill Village Apartments on Seminole Avenue NW after city officials vacated the buildings earlier this year. A structural engineer flagged risks of potential failure due to cracking in walls and ceilings, uneven floors, sagging ceilings, and a termite issue, prompting evacuation of 1610 1620 1630 Seminole Ave NW and other units. Units remain vacant until a registered design professional confirms safety to occupy again.
