A resident of the Iowa apartment building that partially collapsed – killing three residents and destroying dozens of homes – is suing the building’s owner and the city of Davenport for negligence, saying they knew about the dangers but failed to warn residents.

And a May 25 site visit confirmed repair work had started. But on May 27, the day before the collapse, a 911 caller said part of a wall at the building was “bulging out,” the Quad-City Times reported, citing 911 audio obtained by the paper. Then on May 28, the same part of the wall suddenly crumbled, according to a CNN review of property photos released by the city. The catastrophe killed three residents – Branden Colvin, Ryan Hitchcock and Daniel Prien.
