Residents ready to rebuild after Iowa building collapse
- Demolition is on hold, but the steps that follow are uncertain for tenants
- Resident: “I’m trying to start building my life back together”
- Tenants said they reported cracks on the wall that ultimately collapsed
Children draw on the ground with chalk at the scene where an apartment building partially collapsed on Sunday afternoon, Tuesday, May 30, 2023, in Davenport, Iowa. A structural engineer report issued just days before the building partially collapsed indicated a wall of the century-old structure was in imminent risk of crumbling. But neither the owner nor city officials warned residents of the danger days before the building partially collapsed. (AP Photo/Erin Hooley)
