The collapse happened because of structural issues that were not addressed after the 40 year inspection, which is a requirement. Reports of strange sounds coming from the building, exposed and rusted rebars, water accumulating in the pump area, etc. If these problems were ignored, then blame points to the condo association and perhaps the city's building and zoning.
