Vie Lofts management says no questions about building’s structural integrity

Management for Vie Lofts believes there are no questions about the structural integrity of the building. 

A mandatory evacuation was given to the apartment located at 817 Chestnut St. on Friday by the San Marcos Fire Marshal due to concerns in response to safety concerns about building stability and means of egress. 

San Marcos Fire Chief Les Stephens said the fire department was called to the apartment complex Friday after they were made aware of issues with a stairwell, which rendered it unusable by occupants as a means of emergency egress. Stephens said they discovered a second stairwell that was unable to be used as well.
