Miami Orders Residents To Evacuate 8-Story Condo Building

[Dana7360]

Another Florida building has been deemed structurally unsound with all residents having to evacuate.

Both public and private infrastructure is falling apart. It has not been properly maintained.

Florida needs to update their building laws. What they have now allows for too many people to put other people's lives at risk.

Oh wait, republicans believe regulations are bad so nothing will be done. Buildings will keep bing ruled unsafe and people will continue to lose their homes and possibly their lives.

The people of Florida voted for it. I hope they are happy with the mess they have.

Bob Graham was governor when it was built.

Bob Graham was governor when it was built.
Moron.

I don't know who that is but what has that got to do with Florida not requiring proper maintenance and safety?

How is he responsible for years of neglect resulting the residents having to evacuate?

How is he responsible for republicans in Florida repealing regulations since the 80s? Regulations that prevent such things from happening.

Why didn't any politician or public official correct this? There's been decades since the building was built.

The article didn't say a word about it not being built properly.

It's all about how it's not properly maintained.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

I don't know who that is

He was the Democrat governor for 8 years.
Then he was a Democrat Senator for 18 years.

How is he responsible

You weren't whining about the building regulations when it was built?

How is he responsible for republicans in Florida repealing regulations since the 80s?

Which regulations did he put in that the Republicans took out?

Be specific in your further whining.

What specific regulations are you talking about?

I think you're simply lying to the USMB forum again, as usual.

Therefore you will not be able to cite the specific building code regulations that you allege were repealed by Republicans.

These idiots never spend the 10 seconds on Google it takes to avoid looking like a complete asshole. LOL!

 

[marvin martian]

Your beef is with the owner of the building. Who is it?

 

[sartre play]

Everything is always someone else's fault, We have become expert at blame, short on responsibility.

Building codes are local you stupid idiot. The city of Miami has their own building codes, Miami issued to order to evacuate the building.

Ok here's one of many.

If you actually wanted to know the answer to that question you would have done your own search and found what I've found.

This is the law they repealed. It only managed to be in effect for 2 years before the republicans repealed it.

House Bill 995 (2008) - The Florida Senate

Here's the bill repealing the law:

House Bill 663 (2010) - The Florida Senate

Then there's this article filled with facts about how Florida has not properly regulated condos in nearly 60 years.

'It takes a tragedy': Florida's hands-off approach to condo regulations tested after Surfside

The Surfside condominium collapse could be the motivation needed to reform Florida's condo inspection laws, expert says.

www.tallahassee.com

From the article:

Except for a brief window that lasted barely two years, the state has had no oversight of the condition of aging condominium buildings in nearly 60 years of condo construction in the Sunshine State.

No post-construction inspection requirements. No enforcement measures to repair potentially life-threatening structural damage. No requirement to maintain a contingency fund for emergency repairs.

A USA Today Network-Florida review of state statutes governing the condo industry found those gaps and other deficiencies. “There are no regulations,” said Eric Glazer, a Hallandale Beach lawyer with 30 years of condo law experience.

That’s because the Florida Legislature is reluctant to pass laws that slow down condominium construction and sales, says Glazer, who also has a condo blog and weekly one-hour radio show about condominium law.

Florida will do anything to help developers build and sell units and all responsibility is passed onto the unit owners after the sale,” Glazer said. “There is almost a hands-off approach when it comes to structural integrity.”

Elevators and fire extinguishers get inspected — and that’s about it when it comes to any kind of state oversight of condominium safety once they’re occupied.

But even fire safety is vulnerable. If it weren’t for a London high-rise fire in 2017, the Florida Legislature might have succeeded at stripping some fire protection for older condos out of state law.

A bill that passed the Legislature with only one no vote would have pushed back deadlines to retrofit older condos with fire sprinklers and let condo residents vote to opt out of installing them.

But when it landed on then-Gov. Rick Scott’s desk, he vetoed the bill, citing the Grenfell Tower fire that killed 72 people and injured more than 70.

You just owned him/her/it, she just pulled the lie off of a leftist site and you just showed that dam near everyone voted for it. It wasn't just Republicans. Leftist lies.

 

[Damaged Eagle]

The building was deemed unsafe and the people are being evacuated so it sounds like there are already building codes.

Sounds like someone is whining about the system working.

Totally irrelevant and had nothing to do with the collapse.
