“#Surfside inspector was on roof of condo hours before collapse<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Surfside town building official was on the roof of the beachfront condo 14 hours before half of the building collapsed.<\/p>\n

Jim McGuinness said during an emergency meeting that he was on the roof to inspect work of replacing roof anchors, used by window cleaners to attach their equipment, the Palm Beach Post reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hours after his inspection of the roof at Champlain Towers South, at around 1:30 a.m. Thursday, one leg of the L-shaped 12-story tower pancaked, killing at least four people and leaving at least 159 unaccounted for. Rescuers have had little luck combing through the pile for survivors, and no one has been found alive since Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no inordinate amount of equipment or materials or anything on that roof that caught my building official\u2019s eye that would make it alarming as to this place collapsing,\u201d McGunniess said during the meeting Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have two words for the cause of this: under investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The town commission also said during the meeting that it is looking into what may be done to ensure other high-rise buildings are safe. That likely means inspecting buildings, including the sister tower of the one that collapsed, which was also built in 1981.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be imprudent not to take some types of steps to address that issue with the sister building,\u201d Mayor Charles Burkett said during the meeting.<\/p>\n

Some residents of the other building, Champlain Towers North, have asked officials if their building is safe, and the town is considering moving them out, even if it\u2019s not convenient.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut given we have no idea what caused this collapse \u2014 and listen, the chances of that happ<\/a>ening again are like lightning striking \u2014 but I don\u2019t know that there\u2019s anybody in this room that would be willing to roll the dice with all those lives and say, let\u2019s not worry about it for a while,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

One commissioner at the meeting said the town needs to increase the requirements for its recertification process, which now includes a series<\/a> of inspections every building must complete every 40 years. The collapsed tower was in the midst of that process.<\/p>\n

McGuinness agreed. \u201cHurricane Andrew changed the Florida building codes forever,\u201d he said, ABC News reported<\/a>. \u201cSo this terrible tragedy, which is a national tragedy, is going to change the building codes as they relate to certification.\u201d\n <\/div>\n
