Resident injured in Iowa building collapse where 3 died sues city, owners, alleging negligence
Building Collapse Iowa
One of the residents injured in the collapse of an apartment building sued the city of Davenport and the building's current and former owners on Monday, alleging they knew of the deteriorating conditions and failed to warn residents of the risk. Branden Colvin Sr.'s body was recovered Saturday. The body of Ryan Hitchcock was recovered Sunday and Daniel Prien early Monday. The discoveries came after authorities announced that, with attention turning to shoring up the remaining structure so recovery efforts could begin.
said last week that any complaints about the rescue and recovery process should be directed at him, not first responders.why neither the owner nor city officials warned residents about potential danger. Tenants also complained to the city in recent years about a host of problems they say were ignored by property managers, including no heat or hot water for weeks or even months at a time, as well as mold and water leakage from ceilings and toilets. While city officials tried to address some complaints and gave vacate orders to individual apartments, a broader evacuation was never ordered, records show.
