Condo board boss warned of worsening damage before collapse Weeks before a Florida condo building collapsed, the president of its board wrote that structural problems identified in a 2018 inspection had âgotten significantly worseâ and owners needed to pay a hefty price to get them fixed. The April 9 âDear Neighborsâ letter from Champlain Towers South Condominium President Jean Wodnicki hinted at an ongoing debate over the repairs and a reluctance by some condo owners to pay for major work that would cost at least $15.5 million. âA lot of this work could have been done or planned for in years gone by. But this is where we are now,â she wrote in the letter, which was confirmed to The Associated Press by a spokesman for the condo board.
