LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â Lots of questions remain as to why a downtown parking garage partially collapsed last Thursday morning. It s a concrete and steel structure designed to hold the weight of vehicles. The garage was empty when it crumbled with only snow and ice on the top deck and one lucky contractor who was plowing and escaped injury.
Some people have reached out to LEX 18 to say they had safety concerns about the garage in early 2018 when it belonged to another company. Alison Thompson who works downtown is one of those people.
Also detailed were reports of rape, prostitution, arson and weapons violations.
The suit alleges that defendants Toledo Nights, Inc. and Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, LLC and their employees participated in a pattern of activity by allowing these criminal acts at the Days Inn Motel and that they knew these crimes were happening, but failed to take action or do anything to prevent them from happening again in the future.
In addition to the alleged criminal activity, court documents state that back in May, the Division of Building Inspection found a number of building code violations, including structural defects, electrical code violations, plumbing defects, defects in the building s heating and air.
