Last Tenants Evacuated From Building Near Apartment Structure That Collapsed in Iowa

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) The remaining tenants of a building near a partially collapsed apartment structure were evacuated Thursday because of areas of structural concern, Davenport officials said.

Residents of five apartments at the Executive Square Building were told to evacuate out of an abundance of caution, city spokeswoman Sarah Ott said in a statement.

The decision came after city staff and structural engineers assessed conditions near the apartment building that partially collapsed on May 28, killing three people, injuring several and displacing dozens, Ott said.
