Agreed. The 40 year inspection would have uncovered these problems. Our condo building in South Florida received the inspection in 2010 and repairs were made to comply with the present building codes. No evidence of structural problems. We paid the assessments and have experienced no issues. Our management company along with the condo board have done an outstanding job of maintaining the building. The assessments amounted to a lot of money but they were worth it. Just because construction shortcuts may have taken place does not mean every condo building will collapse. I did see photos of the surfside building and they were published in you tube. Why that occurred and ignored is unacceptable. Look it up.
