Showing Original Post only (View all)focus on 50 year old 600 unit condo high rise in Marina Del Rey California, inspection ordered [View all]

MARINA DEL REY (CBSLA) Los Angeles County officials have ordered an inspection of the Marina City Club Towers, a condominium complex with three buildings in Marina Del Rey, after the tragic Champlain Tower collapse in Florida last week.
On Wednesday, Supervisor Janice Hahn asked Public Works to investigate, and the county is threatening to red tag the property if millions of dollars in repairs arent made. Officials said the buildings are deteriorating and in disrepair and residents are worried.
Im scared to death. Im really scared to death, Teri Hirano, a City Club resident said.
From the air, CBSLAs Desmond Shaw captured footage of cracks on the 50-year-old high-rise buildings, which consist of 600 condo units, many with million dollar views, and 100 apartments.
Some residents in the building have also collected video of cracks on the roof, along with cracks and decay on the ground. In the underground garage, way below street level, concrete on the ground that looks as if its been pushed aside actually came from above.

I was thinking the same thing. This could run into the tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars

but because they are condos, no thought given to what that means to the owners

yes, if there was one owner, like an investment company owning a high rise apartment
