"How could a collapse of a condo in Surfside, FL happen?!"

[Hoyt]

49. No insurance expert, but I don't think normal property insurance covers

erosion, building damage, etc., over a long period of time, especially when the problem was identified and nothing substantial was done to ameliorate the damage.

On CNN just now, they talked to a lady who had been renting a unit in the portion that didn’t collapse. She did not get the recent letter abou the need for repairs. I bet the estates of other renters will have a cause of action against owners who did not warn them. It’s going to be a big mess.

Lawyers, engineers, etc., will do well all along the coast.
