The city of Davenport filed a new enforcement action against Andrew Wold, owner of an apartment building that collapsed on Sunday, saying that he had failed to maintain the property “in a safe, sanitary, and structurally sound condition” before the collapse. The city is seeking a $300 fine plus $95 in court fees.
Building workers had been completing interior and exterior repairs in recent months, city records show. Reports of falling bricks were part of that work, said Rich Oswald, the city’s director of development and neighborhood services.
Some residents remained unaccounted for on Wednesday, but officials said they were able to rescue several pets from a safer area of the six-story building.
