Miami condo collapse: Residents complained of construction noise, reports say
Fox News
Residents of the Florida condo complex that collapsed Thursday had previously complained of construction noise that may have resulted from heavy work done to try and ensure the building was ready for its 40-year inspection, according to reports.
"Even a building built in the 1980s is a relatively young building," Kobi Karp told The Daily Beast. "The cause is either a structural event that occurred because they were working on the roof and put too much load concentrated in a certain area, and/or there was somebody working on the structure and created a cut or damage that caused a structural failure." "In both scenarios, it seems to be a man-made cause," he added. A lawsuit filed in September 2015 complained about maintenance of the building, which the Condominium Association of the building promised to "maintain, repair and replace" at its own expense, according to court filings.
