Uh oh, this is not good......


Engineers Found Florida Condo Had 'Major Structural Damage' Before It Collapsed

A structural engineering report provided to the Champlain Towers condominium association in 2018 found widespread problems that required extensive repairs "in the near future."

The consulting group that wrote the report noted Saturday that the document "detailed significant cracks and breaks in the concrete, which required repairs to ensure the safety of the residents and the public."

The Mayor admits they probably didn't read the report at the time --- and evidently, not within the 2 year span, did they think reading the report was important.

Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett told NPR's Weekend Edition that the engineering report was likely not read at the time.

"I'm under the impression that it is something that nobody had seen until yesterday when we started looking back into the records to try to understand if there was anything in the record that would indicate why this building fell down," he said.

"We did not know about this report," Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava told reporters Saturday morning. "We are obviously very interested in all of the evidence that's coming to light."

Wonder when building owners will take inspections serious?


To hell with not wanting to dish out thousands of dollars for repairs!!
Now lives are lost and this will definitely cost you more than a few thousand $$$$, all due to your failure to "read the reports". SMDH


My heart goes out to the families of the victims. 
This should have never happened.
