Investigation reveals structural flaws behind fatal Davenport apartment collapse

The building's owner, Andrew Wold, pleaded guilty to a civil violation and was ordered to pay a fine. Wold is also facing lawsuits alleging negligence on his part and the city's. The investigation findings highlight inadequate repairs, poor supervision, and misidentification of the improperly supported wall as nonstructural.
