AND the report was written over 2-1/2 years ago! If I lived in Champlain Towers North...I’d have been out of there already! I’m not that far from there but in a single-family house. Everything corrodes or weathers much faster in this environment.
I have a friends who live in a house built by Carl Fisher on Miami Beach after the 1926 hurricane. The house has a basement and it has 3 feet of water in the basement at high tide. But the house has stood strong for 94 years.
Wow, incredible.

And yeah, if the structural defects were that bad in 2018, imagine what they were before the collapse!
From page 7 of the PE's report:
The failed waterproofing is causing major structural damage to the concrete structural slab below these areas. Failure to replace the waterproofing in the near future will cause the extent of concrete deterioration to expand exponentially.
