New Report on Miami Dade College Garage Collapse Shows Construction Flaws: Relatives of Victim

Family members of a victim of the Miami Dade College garage collapse said Thursday that a just-released report proves their claims that there were serious construction flaws and that inspectors missed the trouble before the garage came down. Jimmy Ramirez and Migdalia Lopez, the relatives of collapse victim Samuel Perez, and their attorney Ervin Gonzalez spoke about the findings from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. General contractor Ajax Building Corp. said it is withholding comment until the period it has to reply to OSHA is over. The inspection company, MEP Structural Engineering and Inspections Inc., and Miami Dade College both said they had no comment.
