Surfside Building Collapse

Crews continue to find the bodies of those who died during a recent condo collapse. There is another objective for those sifting through the rubble: collecting the property of the victims.

The collapse of Champlain Towers South last month has led to Florida officials and condominium associations to re-evaluate building inspections and maintenance, especially when it comes to older structures.

Residents of the Crestview Towers Condo Association in North Miami Beach were evacuated Friday night following orders from zoning officials to condemn the building earlier that day.

Authorities said that 117 individuals remain unaccounted for from the collapsed building in Surfside, Florida. Authorities say demolishing the rest of the building has aided the search.

Officials in Miami-Dade County leveled the remaining section of the Champlain Towers South condo ahead of Tropical Storm Elsa. They said the unstable building was a danger to search efforts.

Officials announced the decision to demolish the upright portion of the doomed Champlain Towers South building on Saturday.

A building inspection report found that the condominium has unsafe structural and electrical conditions, city officials announced Friday night.

After the Champlain Towers South building collapsed last Thursday, people across Miami-Dade County and the rest of South Florida have been worried about the safety of their own condo buildings.

Investigators say 22 people are known to have died and 126 are unaccounted for. The 7-year-old daughter of a Miami firefighter is among the dead. Another condo building was evacuated Friday.

Disaster officials racing to excavate rubble near the collapsed Champlain Tower South were preparing evacuation plans in case storm winds threaten the site.

The Champlain Towers South condo association will now be overseen by a receiver who will handle all of the association's financial matters. It comes as questions swirl about the condo's collapse.

Officials overseeing the search and rescue efforts at the Champlain Tower in Surfside are keeping a close eye on the tropical storm that formed earlier today.
