Champlain Towers East resident Luba Rosebach requests answers and further research after collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Fl. The architect of the Florida condo building that collapsed last month — killing at least 97 people — was suspended for "gross incompetency" years earlier over other structural failures, according to a report. William Friedman, who designed Champlain Towers South before it was built in 1981, was suspended for six months in 1967 after pylons on a sign atop another building collapsed after a major hurricane, the Real Deal reported. The Florida Board of Architecture found that Friedman’s pylons were "insufficient and grossly inadequate," and failed to meet "accepted standards," according to the real-estate publication.
