The owners in the remaining condo building are between a rock and a hard place.

Stay and risk your life.

Leave and loose your investment. Who would buy from you?

Has the city inspected the remaining building? What is their assessment?

Given the loss of life in the first building, here will be lawsuits and liability. Can the city just turn a blind eye to the potential of identical problems occurring?

When the media says there are 150+ people still missing, that means those people are dead in the rubble. Imagine the liability to the deep pocket builders, the management company, the city, etc.

Actually the builders, city shouldn’t have liability the owners were warned that the building was not safe it was up to the owners to all pay for the repairs the building has been standing for 45 years so I think the builder after this amount of time can’t be held responsible!!

It was a 40 year old building the builders ard no longer liable. The property management, homeowners association and the homeowners are responsible

I’m sure there were similar condominium buildings built during the 70’s and 80’s nationwide. Time to sell.

Hard to have liability 40 years later. Whether its the engineer, contractor or other professional trades. Many of them are probably retired and the companies of business.

The City / County has liability if they approve or disapprove the remaining building . I would not want to be an owner. The owner’s will have a tough time selling their homes. The will get .25 cents on the dollar from a speculator who will either repair or wreck the existing building and build a new tower with more floors to recover their investment.
