When the building was first built, I was very close to placing a deposit on a two bedroom condo in that building. I decided not to move ahead. My main reason was that the 1.75 million dollar condo did not come with a deeded parking space. You paid a monthly valet parking fee but could not pull your car into your own private spot. There were not enough parking spaces for the over 400 condos so there would be a chance that you would have to find parking elsewhere. I guess another reason I decided no was the angel whispering into my ear to "run."

All of this would be in those records and most buyer never read them. However, something this big would have to be disclosed by the seller too and in writing to the buyer. If this particular buyer didn't get any notice during his escrow...the seller, their agent and the HOA would have a legal problem. Its likely any escrow company in the area would also have known anything to do with this building of condo's have structure disclosures that need to be addressed and stipulate they be included with any transaction they might handle.

A building will likely not collapse in an earthquake unless if the shockwaves resonate with the building's natural frequency. When that happens, the building will list to one side, then to the other, getting pushed more and more by these shockwaves, until collapse. Remember that Millennium Tower is built on reclaimed land from the SF bay, and the bay mud is much less firm and more prone to liquefaction and strong vibrations than the solid bedrock below.

I bet the building manager in Florida also thought there was no imminent threat of structural failure. Until it collapsed.

Based on my experience with condo associations, I would say a large percentage of the condo association members are still denying that the building collapsed.

When the previous owner(s) say that the ones responsible ran away, it should be realized the way they are all summed up all the way up, including ALL COST. Since the neighboring structures knows the integrity as well of their buildings, they know the shelf life of the building and the details inside and out, one has to always be an administrator as well in all things. As for the COSTS, there's a claim that can also be given to them ALL, since tax payers are tax payers, and Developers knows what are the claims and insurance allowed by its numerous plan/companies. Seeing that there are seepages as well as moisture on the basement walls, and it chipped off, it should be inspected firmly, as well as the foundations, when it is a Fill, the fill should be surrounded or covered by numerous boulders, while the depth or the deepness of the foundations, should be equivalent to what is measured from ground all the way UP, so that it won't wobble or sway. The way a plant is planted in the same measurement of the roots all the way up to the plant, that is the depth. Planted by the waters by the word. KJV 1611. Preserved.
