Florida condo collapse occurred gradually
A final report concluded that the collapse of the Champlain Towers South condo in Florida was caused by structural failures that began weeks before, due to design flaws, code violations, and ongoing degradation. The investigation highlighted that connections in the garage and pool deck weakened early in June, with subsequent modifications and corrosion reducing the building’s safety margins. The collapse occurred in June 2021, killing 98 people, and led to a $1 billion settlement, with new laws enacted to improve condo reserve funding and maintenance standards.
