A structural engineer was hired to inspect The Davenport earlier this year, following various complaints from residents.
Quanishia "Peach" Berry ended up trapped beneath a pile of debris when the apartment building in Davenport, Iowa, where she lived with her wife, Lexus, partially collapsed Sunday night.
Davenport Police Chief Jeff Bladel said there were 53 tenants in the 80-unit building. Andrew Wold of Davenport Hotel, L.L.C. has also released a statement.
Four days before an Iowa apartment building collapsed, an engineering firm warned that it appeared at risk of crumbling.
It took hours before rescuers found Peach Berry trapped in the rubble and then determined one of her legs would need to be amputated to pull her free.
