CHARLOTTE — The Lamplighter Inn in northwest Charlotte is officially shut down and all the residents are out.
City officials said on Wednesday they cleared the building without any issues.
The motel is now boarded up with signs stating the building is unsafe.
The city announced last month that the property would close due to those conditions.
Four rooms were occupied when the city cleared out the property.
Those people connected with outreach teams and received the necessary resources.
