Residents will be able to move their cars out of the Emery Street entrance on Monday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

However, the property company warned that only residents with keys in their possession or those who have hired a towing company will be able to retrieve their cars.

The property owner said that until the rest of the building is deemed safe to enter by a structural engineer, residents won’t be allowed to get car keys from their homes.

Those who can’t come at their designated pick-up time are asked to contact the property at colliervillage@bellpartnersinc.com
