Surfside Officials: We Weren t Notified Of Severe Deterioration Before Condo Collapse

Originally published on July 8, 2021 4:33 pm Nine months before a massive section of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Fla., came showering down, an engineering firm called Morabito Consultants found severely deteriorated concrete throughout the building, including in load-bearing structures known as corbels. According to a document acquired by NPR from an anonymous source, the company s probe, conducted between June and October 2020, found problems that appeared even more grave than those identified in an earlier 2018 study of the condo conducted by the same company. The Maryland-based firm, hired by the condo association s board, is widely respected in the construction industry, in part for helping save another Florida condominium from collapse a decade earlier.

Surfside pushes back on report on delayed building repairs A Surfside, Florida, official pushed back Sunday on the idea that the town was responsible for slowing down a condo board’s plans to make needed structural repairs to a building that eventually collapsed, killing dozens. Following a Miami Herald report that it took more than a month for the town to respond to plans submitted by the building’s board in May, town manager Andrew Hyatt released a statement saying the issues under discussion were preliminary plans unrelated to structural work and not permits to begin repairs the building needed to pass a 40-year recertification.
