Since the tragedy in Florida, plans to step up inspections, enforce existing rules or crack down on problem properties have emerged in Los Angeles County; Washington, D.C.; and Jersey City, New Jersey.
Rubble from the Champlain Towers South collapse continues to be cleared in Surfside, Fla., July 14, 2021.
Code compliance and structural engineering rarely animate voters the same way as taxes or crime, or even street repaving, so building safety is often relegated to the margins of municipal governance, with little attention and insufficient funding. Fulop said his office became aware of one condo association that had accumulated almost $50 million in deferred maintenance, meaning each homeowner could be charged hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair the structure. The steep price tag and lack of enforcement, he said, had allowed the situation to worsen.
The proposals that have emerged across the country since the Surfside collapse vary widely in scope and specificity. Some changes already have been enacted while others are still in the early stages of policymaking.

To Help End Homelessness In Her City, She Had A Radical Idea: Sue UsI’m a three-time Emmy-nominated journalist with a decade of experience in media who has covered major national stories like the aftermath of the Charlottesville ‘Unite the Right’ rally and President Trump’s “travel ban” in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. I became a journalist to speak for the voiceless, like my severely disabled sister. I have used my platform to shed light on important issues impacting people with disabilities and other vulnerable and disenfranchised communities. I won a Catalyst for Change award from the ARC of Virginia for the impact of my reporting and an Emmy nomination for an investigation exposing neglect and abuse at an assisted living facility. My goal as a journalist is to leave the world a better place by spreading hope with my work while ensuring the truth is always told, and wrongdoing is exposed.
