The Surfside building was much older, built in the early 1980s, but shares the same problem of deferred maintenance.
Sadly the Surfside HOA chose not to make the necessary repairs due to cost.
“On June 24, 2021, the same day as the accident, a lawsuit was filed in Miami Dade Circuit Court by a resident of the building against the Champlain Towers South Condominium Association, seeking $5 million in damages “due to defendant’s acts and omissions and their failure to properly protect the lives and property of plaintiff and class members”
This is a recently built building...
Famous Russian tale, they pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work.
