The person rescued overnight is currently in the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Rescue teams, including K-9 units, worked through the night to search for survivors. The building&#8217;s stability is still a concern, and officials are finishing the rescue phase of their operation before moving to recovery.<\/p>\n<h3>Building Maintenance and Repair History<\/h3>\n<p>The building had a mixture of residential and commercial spaces, with 84 units in total. Nearly 20 permits were filed in 2022 for building repairs, mainly for plumbing or electrical issues, according to the county assessor\u2019s office. Reports of bricks falling from the building earlier this week were part of that work, and the building\u2019s owner had a permit for the project.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2021, 98 people died when a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trying-to-avoid-a-florida-waukesha-condo-evacuated-due-to-imminent-threat-of-collapse\/\" title=\"\u2018Trying To Avoid A Florida\u2019: Waukesha Condo Evacuated Due To \u2018Imminent Threat Of Collapse\u2019\">high-rise condominium<\/a> near Miami Beach, Florida, collapsed in the middle of the night. The Champlain Towers South in Surfside had a long history of maintenance problems, and shoddy construction techniques were used in the early 1980s.
