Residents of a Sydney apartment complex are "homeless" after ongoing and persistent cracking forced the building's evacuation. All 122 units and all but two ground-level shops in the Mascot Towers are currently empty after concerns about the decade-old building's structural integrity prompted its closure on Friday. Cracks in the ground-level carpark widened on Thursday, prompting the building's engineer to urgently install temporary building support. Mascot Towers' building manager and strata company have been contacted for comment. It's the second time in six months a Sydney apartment complex has been completely evacuated due to cracking and reports of movement.
