My understanding is there are several at-risk buildings all up and down the coast of Florida. Prior to the collapse, Flordia took a hands-off approach.
Miami-Dade County officials said last week that they were prioritizing reviews of 24 multistory buildings that either had failed major structural or electrical inspections required after 40 years or had not submitted the reports in the first place. But the county’s own records show that 17 of those cases had been open for a year or more. Two cases were against properties owned by the county itself. The oldest case had sat unresolved since 2008.
The city of North Miami Beach had tried and failed for years to bring a 10-story condo building within its borders, Crestview Towers, into compliance with the 40-year recertification requirements. When the building’s condo association finally submitted the required paperwork last week, about nine years late, it documented critical safety concerns, a city spokesman said. Officials evacuated the building on Friday.

Well, what can you expect when Florida Man is running things?
Also, when Republicans are in charge, SOOOOOCIALIST LIBURRUL stuff like public safety, building codes, making big corporations comply with the law, etc. gets ridiculed and ignored. I wouldn't be surprised if the clown who was supposed to read those structural reports back in 2018 never saw them, because he was off masturbating at a Trump rally.
Florida Man will, doubtless, continue to ignore the problem, and many, many more deaths will result. Tommie-poo will cheer!
