But finally, the bodies of Branden Colvin Sr., 42, Ryan Hitchcock, 51, and Daniel Prien, 60, have been recovered. Davenport Police Chief Jeffery Bladel confirmed the news on Monday, as reported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/kstp.com\/kstp-news\/top-news\/three-bodies-recovered-in-iowa-building-collapse-lawsuit-accuses-city-and-owners-of-negligence\/\">Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>The Dilemma of Demolition<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">City officials faced the dilemma of whether to demolish the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/heres-to-new-life-in-the-new-year\/\" title=\"Here's to New Life in the New Year\">building due<\/a> to hazards posed to the community or to continue the search for the bodies and possibly survivors in what remained of the frail building. The building has not been demolished as of Monday, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/los-angeles-county-orders-restaurants-to-keep-tvs-off-as-outdoor-dining-resumes-and-super-bowl-approaches\/\" title=\"Los Angeles County Orders Restaurants To Keep TVs Off As Outdoor Dining Resumes And Super Bowl Approaches\">officials plan<\/a> to \u201cquickly stage the site for tear down,\u201d the AP reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Eight survivors were rescued from the building in the 48-hour period following the collapse, with one needing a leg amputation to free her from the rubble. Bladel said officials do not believe anyone else is missing, following a ninth rescue on the night of Monday, May 31st.<\/p>\n<h3>Negligence Allegations<\/h3>\n<p>Following the collapse, documents released by the city revealed that the building was the subject of numerous complaints both to the owner, Davenport Hotel, LLC, and the City of Davenport. One resident, Dayna Feuerbach, sued the city and apartment owner Monday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/three-bodies-recovered-in-iowa-apartment-collapse\/\" title=\"Iowa Apartment Collapse: 3 Bodies Found.\">alleging multiple counts<\/a> of negligence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe city had warning after warning,\u201d attorney Jeffrey Goodman told the AP. \u201cThey had the responsibility to make sure that the safety of the citizens comes first. It is very clear that the city of Davenport didn\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davenport Mayor Mike Matson expressed remorse on Thursday \u2014 before the bodies were found. \u201cDo I have regrets about this tragedy and about people potentially losing their lives? Hell yeah,\u201d Matson said. \u201cDo I think about this every moment? Hell yeah. I have regrets about a lot of things. Believe me, we\u2019re going to look at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The city has sought enforcement against the owner of Davenport Hotel Andrew Wold for failure to maintain the property \u201cin a safe, sanitary, and structurally sound condition\u201d before the collapse. The city is seeking a $300 fine plus $95 in court fees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three missing men were found dead in the rubble of a partially collapsed apartment building in Davenport, Iowa.
