What safety assessment stickers mean for homeowners and renters affected by the tornado

from St. Louis on the Air

More than 10,000 buildings were damaged from the May 16 tornado that tore through St. Louis. Soon after, affected city residents began seeing stickers affixed to their front doors — each signifying the amount of damage to the structure. Red stickers cautioned: “Danger: Entry Prohibited: Violators subject to prosecution.” City building division leadership shed light on how those assessments were made and what they mean. Later in the episode, a legal advisor with Tenants Transforming Greater St. Louis discusses the challenges being faced by renters who are displaced from the tornado — and how renters can empower themselves by knowing their rights as they advocate for temporary housing or changes to their lease agreements.
