The Harare City Council has ordered the eviction of more than 30 families from the dilapidated Vivandelphi Court in Eastlea.
Council argues that conditions at the block of flats do not conform to public health by-laws.
The block of flats is among the 10 city high-rise buildings recently condemned as unsafe or unfit for human habitation.
The Harare Fire and health departments say the buildings do not meet health and fire safety standards.
The building is located along McClery Road and houses more than 30 tenants although it was designed for 6 families.
The tenants have been staying at the property belonging to Vivandelphi (PVT) Ltd for more than 10 years without paying rates.
