Investigation underway after Bronx building collapse displaces residents

The Bronx District Attorney's office is investigating a partial collapse of a seven-story apartment building in the Bronx that has left dozens of tenants homeless. The collapse occurred at 1915 Billingsley Terrace, and an assistant district attorney is working with city departments on the investigation. The building had previously been flagged for "unsafe" facade problems, and tenants had complained about poor conditions and lead paint issues. The building owner, David Kleiner, is facing scrutiny and has a history of housing code violations. The investigation into the cause of the collapse is ongoing.

Iowa apartment building collapse raises questions about safety warnings and demolition plans.

Four days before the collapse of an Iowa apartment building, an engineering firm warned that it appeared at risk of crumbling. City officials did not order residents to vacate because they relied on the engineering team's assurances that the building was safe. Three people are still unaccounted for. The city released a cache of documents and permits showing a history of tenant complaints and issues plaguing the building. A citation was filed against the property owner for failing to maintain the building in a safe and sanitary condition.
