"WE'LL DEAL WITH IT LATER" NOT ALWAYS A GOOD MOVE

by Bob Walsh

I have been sort-of following the debacle of the pancaked condo in Surfside, Florida.  One of the more interesting revelations is that a structural engineer reported THREE YEARS AGO that the building had some significant structural problems that needed to be addressed.  Also, there had been a local building inspector at the building the day before it crashed down.  

It will be very interesting to see who screwed the pooch on this one.  I am sure people are busy buying asbestos shorts and putting their assets in their children's names, because you can damn well be a few somebodies are going to get their asses sued off over this.  As well they should.   

The twin to this building is being inspected even now.  All of the large buildings in Surfside are supposed to be inspected within the next 30 days.  It will be interesting to see what they find and what comes of those findings.
