Miami condo residents nervous after Champlain Towers South collapse

After reading an engineer’s report on the Miami condo tower next door to his own, Bob Ross is worried.

Ross lives in Palm Bay Towers, across the marina from Miami Bay Towers, where the report, prepared in December, found “structural deficiencies” in the 26-story, 68-unit building, one of the only ones in the city built over the water. It was the underwater portion that the engineering firm, The Falcon Group, pointed to as having several areas with concrete cracking and chipping, and rust spots. “Concrete deficiencies at the support columns, if not addressed in the near future, may affect the structural integrity of the building,” the report on Miami Bay Towers said.
