No that is not a typo. Once the board of health condemned the apartments that was it. The state and everyone involved said the people technically had more time because they were warned if the owner didn't comply that would happen. It was not the agencies' fault if people chose to wait until the last minute to see how it would play out.
It was a huge deal on the news because the apartments were very low income and in a really bad area of town. Most of the people that lived there had nowhere else to go and couldn't afford to move but the people involved made it sound like it was their fault for staying until the last minute to see if the owner would do the right thing.
