New Miami Courthouse Sits Empty Despite Mold in Old Building

Posted on Thursday 28 February 2008

As a new federal courthouse tower sits empty, part of Miami's historic courthouse has been closed due to mold infestation. A federal judge closed the Dyer building's basement after a public health study found mold throughout the four-story building. Suspicions arose about a mold problem after a U.S. magistrate judge who worked in the Dyer building died of a lung ailment in 2006. Meanwhile, the new Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. building has been cleared for occupancy, but court officials are holding up staff moves.
