'It's time to demolish it': Cambridge condo owners face hard goodbye after evacuation
Briefly

Owners of the historic Riverview Building in Cambridge plan to demolish the structure, which faced evacuation due to collapse fears. While a formal vote on demolition isn't yet taken, the project is anticipated soon. Adjacent residents in the Bradbury building, who stayed, may also need to evacuate as shared utilities will be cut off. It's uncertain how this will impact the future of their homes and whether they will return. Many residents, especially senior citizens, are worried about being stranded without essential services post-demolition.
The tragedy is, you have these 14 perfectly good units that can only be made usable by putting utilities in. Once you start taking down the building, they're stranded on an island without electricity, heat, hot water.
Conversations continue among the residents about the future sale of the Riverview property.
