In the days since a Family Dollar store in Kansas City collapsed, killing one man and injuring three others, we’ve learned that city inspectors were no strangers to the midtown building. But until Monday, a day after the collapse, none of their visits or the resulting citations had to do with structural concerns, even though city records show that just days before the deadly incident, Kansas City’s neighborhoods department received multiple complaints about the store — including that the structure was “tilting.” City records show that inspectors were sent to the property dozens of times in recent years for issues involving littering, weeds, graffiti and excess trash. The property racked up 22 citations in the last four years, three of which escalated to charges against the key officers of the company that owns the midtown building, The Star’s Judy Thomas found. Read more about the history of the buildings at the link in our bio. #KansasCity #FamilyDollar
