Before Florida building collapse, more than US$9 million in repairs needed

Workers search in the rubble at the Champlain Towers South Condo on Jun 26, 2021, in Surfside, Florida. SURFSIDE: Almost three years ago, owners in a Florida oceanfront condominium building that collapsed with deadly consequences learned it would cost at least US$9 million for major repairs, with their shared bill coming due Jul 1.

An itemised bill sent by the condo board in April to owners of the building's 136 units showed that much of the planned work was in the pool area and the facade. Installing new pavers and waterproofing the pool deck and building entrance would cost US$1.8 million, with another US$1 million going to “structural repairs” and “planter landscaping,” according to a condo board email obtained by The Associated Press.

That came as news to Susana Alvarez, who lived on the 10th floor of the doomed tower and said a Surfside official assured residents in a 2018 meeting that there was no danger. It wasn't clear who that official was. The Morabito firm said in a statement that it was hired in June 2020 by Champlain Towers South to begin the 40-year recertification process required of all buildings in Miami-Dade County that reach that age. The Champlain building was constructed in 1981.
