They didn’t fix stuff, they just patched it up.”“It was horrible,” Murray said, adding that he felt the conditions were so bad that he didn’t want to bring his children to his apartment.
“When something like this happens here, and tragedy strikes, our responders immediately do their work and their job and I can’t thank them enough,” Mayor Mike Matson said. Authorities found a gas leak after the collapse, Carlsten said, while water also had leaked throughout the floors of the structure.The cause of the collapse was not immediately known.
Some people in the area said the building has had problems. City officials said Sunday that they had several complaints from residents about needed repairs.
