(Davenport, IA) -- A lawsuit says Davenport city staff knew about the unsafe conditions of a now collapsed apartment building. In a Quad City Times report, plaintiffs of a lawsuit against the city, and owner Andrew Wold say a warning was issued about the poor condition of The Davenport apartment building by city staff in February. According to the lawsuit, Mid-American also reported issues with the building last winter.
The report says lawyers for the city claim that city staff can't be held liable under Iowa state law.
The Davenport building partially collapsed May 28th leaving three people dead and several injured.
