As I said in another thread. I have seen many condo buildings in at least superficially worse shape than the one that collapsed in Miami. Especially in vacation / resort towns. This is tragic, but hopefully a wake up call. Condos aren’t managed the way other large buildings are. Structural engineers are catching the problems on inspection it seems, but perhaps have too little power to actually make the call on mandating maintenance and/or evacuation. Deferred maintenance by PG&E, well, the complete lack of maitenance caused the camp fire, the most deadly and destructive fire in California history, in 2018. And freight rail lines are handled much the same way—a major derailment at the wrong place causing catastrophic loss of life is just waiting to happen. My point, if I have one, is that we only seem to care about these things after tragedy happens, but I am not sure how much will change.
