MIAMI (CBSMiami/CNN) – The president of the Champlain Towers South Associaton warned residents more than two months ago the concrete deterioration in the building had gotten significantly worse since the 2018 initial inspection. Board President Jean Wodnicki addressed the situation in a letter to neighbors on April 9th. The roof situation got much worse, so extensive roof repairs had to be incorporated,” says the letter, acquired by CNN. “The failed waterproofing is causing major structural damage to the concrete structural slab below these areas,” the report says. This is how we have gone from the estimated $9,128,433.60 cited in Morabito’s 2018 report, to the much larger figure we have today,” it stated.
