A Riverside high-rise was evacuated after a pipe burst in a 13th floor penthouse unit, flooding the units below.
160 people were forced to leave their units at 1833 Riverside just before 6PM Wednesday evening. Several were not able to return for hours and about seventy others were displaced. Those seventy were put up in other properties.
Water gushed so much in the 12-story building that stairwells, elevators shafts and apartments all the way to the ground floor were flooded.
