"residents of a newly opened apartment building reported
unsettling noises,"
sounds more like settling noises to me.

Best to stay in nothing more than two stories tall.

The key thing here is that it’s only been ‘open’ for about a hundred days. I watched some fire safety interviews on this from Sydney, and they hinted that it’ll be at least ten days before a real assessment can be released. A 1 to 2 cm lean has been detected since the noise.

I suggest a sturdier design even if there are fewer window appartments.

A similar structure was demo'd a few years ago on South Padre Island, Texas because it was deemed unsafe.

San Francisco has this problem with its Millennium Tower.
It’s sunk several inches.
It’s built on fill land in the bay.
If there’s an earthquake, what happens if it collapses (and falls into other buildings, as well)?
But, California will still have its high speed rail!

a newly opened apartment building ... So, the question now becomes what was there before the new building.

Didn’t the architect for the Leaning Tower of Pisa say something like he skimped a little on the foundation but didn’t think anyone wouldn’t notice.

Tails = Chinese steel.

Hydrogen embrittlement.
Poor quality steel from China. A totally preventable manufacturing flaw.
I am just guessing at this point but research hydrogen embrittlement for yourself.
To: DFG
Nothing to worry about. Building collapses only happen in China.
